Looks like its over for me and youtube. Being told I cant watch because of an ad blocker.
Where is everyone moving to and using instead of youtube? I will just move to the same place.
ublock origin is still one step ahead of them (at least on firefox) but you may need to go into the extension settings and purge then update all your filter lists. The copy of Invidious I installed on my NAS is even more steps ahead.

NewPipe doesn’t show ads.
Just googled this also but similar issue to freetube? Just an app to the same service if I understand correctly?
If the people you watch only upload to YouTube, how would they be available on other services?
Unpopular opinion - The ads aren’t that long and content creators deserve to get paid.
I know that doesn’t answer your question but I don’t think a few seconds of ads is worth leaving a platform over.
Counteropinion:
The Ads are too many, disturb the experience a lot and the creators earn more through other means like patreon or merchandise.
And you acting like 2 unskippable 30 second ads before a 2 minute video is just “a few seconds” shows that you don’t watch YouTube a lot.
uYou+ on iOS (installed from GitHub using Sideloadly or AltStore) is working great, even skips sponsored segments and allows background playback
I don’t understand this. And not saying it to stir up hate, or troll. This came up for me, I closed the pop-up, and watched the video with no ads. It only added a single click to the whole thing. And they’ve since gone away for me. Don’t know why they stopped, though they have.
I just manually blocked the pout with ublock
