@RoninGrey they are rolling out ads cut into the video streams and today having adblock caused videos to crash after couple os seconds or minutes.

@Justicar I wouldn't call that a suicide. It's more stupid placement resulting in frustration. Youtube has been a loss leader for years.

@DoubleD @Justicar

Everyone's heard of NewPipe on Android, the YouTube replacement app that strips out the ads.

Even better is a forked app called Tubular. It's the exact same UI but with extra addons that:

1. automatically skip the intros, outros and mid-stream ads

2. restores the dislike count on videos.

It's hands down the best YouTube replacement. Get it on IzzyDroid:

@UncleIroh @Justicar Nice

@UncleIroh @DoubleD you can't bypass ads if they are part of the data stream and not an external one, muxed in by the player.
