      Sorry to nitpick, but it’s Ublock Origin. I know autocorrect hates “ublock”

          I 100% want trying to be a dick to you, I only said that in case people that didn’t know better tried to search it. Apologies if I came off sideways!

    As others have said, adblockers do still work on YouTube. Specifically, uBlock Origin works great on YouTube, as long as you don’t use it with any other adblockers.

    Also if you’re using Chrome, stop using Chrome. uBlock Origin still works on Chrome most of the time but Google is doing their best to kill it off. Switch to Firefox.

    Knocking on wood, but at the moment ublock origin+ firefox still do the trick ? Well get the warning twice sine they start fighting adblocker, so it may change at some point.

    But indeed, I should use youtube less, I pay for spotify, but sometimes use as a source for music, I tend to then fall on clickbaits video especially when cooking.

    Here’s a creative way to do it.

    1. Print out the downvote symbol and a screenshot of the ad.
    2. Dip the paper in dog shit to emphasize that the ad is a shitpost.
    3. Send it to 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043.
    4. ???
    5. Profit.

    You don’t.

    You’ll take whatever cock daddy capitalism shoves down your throat and you’ll damn well like it.

    Or use an adblocker.

        Capitalism is supposed to give consumers choice.

        Nah that’s just propaganda, capitalism is supposed to be efficient and make profits, but tends towards monopolies over time.
        User choice comes ONLY from regulation preventing monopolies and dishonest practices.

    Short answer: You can’t

    Slightly longer answer: Report it as offensive, dangerous, or porn

    ETA: Best answer: As already mentioned, use FF + uBO

    There is usually a little circled i somewhere on the ad you click and select “this ad is not relevant to me.”

    It won’t actually do anything, though and the same thing can be accomplished by going into your Google settings and turning off targeted ads in general.
