    Ads never bothered me on YouTube.

    They’re bothering me enough now that I’m going with an android phone after more than a decade on iPhones just so I can get back to YouTube the way it used to be with a decent ad blocker (better than it used to be actually).

    I can’t fucking stand it, and again, it didn’t bother me before.

    Want to show someone a short clip? Nah. Gotta skip two fucking ads first while you stand there looking stupid and waiting.

    I’m fucking done.

        I’m going to go with a degoogled version of the OS (LineageOS is my current plan).

        The only way I’ll back out is if Apple allows an ad blocker that will cover any app I’m using. I’m currently paying for one that only works on Safari and YouTube videos take a thousand years to load up.

        Now if a legit version of Firefox makes its way to iPhone in the US with ublock, I’ll be happy with that.
