    Does anyone know of an adblocker that works on youtube? Or should I stop being a tight arze and pay for premium?

    Try two groats and a turnip.
    That's the recommendation from the internet guru @snotty!

    Watch. Ignore. They’ll soon be over.

  4. Apart from giving YouTube money, I don't think there's any way of blocking them.

    Just hope for the 'Skip this ad in 5 seconds' rather than 'the video will play after this advert. and the next one'
    I find ads on TV more annoying, to be fair.

    Put up with the ads, eventually otherwise you will find that Google wants to detect ad blockers and will block playing the videos.
    I think that also even when you think you pay for the no ads tier, eventually like Netflix they will still end up forcing ads on you.
    I think the youtube premium is too expensive.

    I only listen to whole albums and long mixes on youtube + the odd single track and never see any adverts. :)

    The annoyance/embarrassment factor of the ads also relates to what sites Google has tracked you visiting..

    I use Spotify and pay the upgrade for no ads.
    Linked to phone Alexa and tv, oh and sound bar in garage. Much better than YouTube unless it’s videos you want to watch

    Ouch.

    I guess I will be putting up with the adds then. I do have premium Spotify, but sometimes watching vids preferable. And the recommended tunes are usually better on the ‘Tube

    On a side note, am I the only person to still use Shazam?
