They need to find ways to make the money they need to sustain this large and ever growing platform. And buying Youtube premium gives your favorite content creators more money. And I'd much rather give some relative nobody my money than celebrities. That said, I will keep using ublock and sponsor block until I can't. <cite>TheNextLink posted [p:973558701] in YouTube is...

Do you have to have an account with them/pay for the service to get it to work? I'm asking because I have my laptop connected to my TV via HDMI, and after week or two it starts blinking unless I don't use it for awhile.Edit: ok, so the first link says there's a primary and a secondary server. My TV only has one server. Could that be why it didn't work then? How do I set it up on Roku?</quote>The Premium subscription for Adguard just allows you to white-list your custom websites. For example, CNN will restrict video content if it's unable to load an advertisement. Not sure why it's not working on your television. I've watched more than 20 hours of Hulu streaming and only one ad somehow snuck thru. </quote> ... Copied to Clipboard!

SuperVegitoFAN 05/18/23 8:38:20 PM #91:	Whilst you cant use adblockers on the app (obviously) my cousin did teach me something. You can click on an info button (I icon) and report the add. Skips it completely. If adblock stops working ill do that, but ill use the search engine to find circumventions before ill accept the ads I dont hate ads as a concept, but the ones youtube have are toxic imo.... alot of ads are pretty toxic nowadays... --- GoodBye My Friend https://ibb.co/QNDH9d0 <cite>SuperVegitoFAN posted [p:973562755] in YouTube is...

I tried Adguard, Google DNS, and a few trusted others, rebooting each time to be sure. It couldn't even block a single ad on this site with the console's Edge browser. The private DNS is all that's needed on my tablet and phone, but with Xbox, it's being ignored for some reason. I don't understand.
