I skip them instantly.
I had a premium trial for 3 months and it was AMAZING, but I can't justify paying for it, so I deal with ads.

How do you deal with ads when you watch YouTube on TV?
- Thread starter Perfectsil
- Start date
No option for it, but I have my PC hooked to my TV, which makes me forget it even has ads until I use it on my phone
This, would've signed up for the normal version of it wasn't $15 for no ads, music, and YouTubes dumb ass originals. just give me a $5 no ads option. It was either vpn or Adblock and now they at least get something.
Choose a video, if an ad starts playing, press "Back", and click on the video again, and this time no ads play.
Works for me.

I don't watch YouTube. YT just doesn't have enough content I care about, so if I must watch it, I'll setup my laptop with ublock or just exit out entirely.
To be honest, whilst I was previously happy to skip, I used premium for a while and now I'm spoiled so I don't think it's long before I go back.
I watch far more youtube than other stuff (don't watch live TV at all), so it's probably worth it.

I always have a remote nearby, seems like a necessity
I do have YouTube Premium. I don't think it's worth the full price (I use YT less than others here I think) but I have the student rate and that seems more reasonable.

I trialed Premium for a month and didn't hate it. So I'm still using that and appreciate the ability to "set it and forget it" when listening to music or watching long playlists on my TV.
Just use Freetube or Newpipe, even TV boxes have it.
It's an SMTP reflector. But it's blacklisted by every mail service and their dog just like Mailgun and Sendgrid.
I avoid watching youtube on anything other than my desktop/laptop for this very reason . I don't mind an ad or 2 before the video starts or when it ends but this whole mid roll shit , especially these sitcom length ones, can get fucked . One tech youtuber I used to watch would try to cram in multiple ads in a 10 mind video..like yo..WTF?? Ads like these I swear are targeted at people like me who fall asleep to watching youtube with auto play on but with no ad blocker..
I watch more YT than any other streaming service so Premium makes sense for me and the majority is through the TV apps on Roku, Samsung, or Xbox. I'd rather music wasn't bundled and it was cheaper but I don't regret paying for it.
I've been paying for years. Background play on mobile is worth it
I rarely watch YouTube on my TV specifically because of the ads. So annoying to have them interrupt something I'm watching at the most random time. I do have YouTubeTV though, but that's different since it's actually TV and most stuff I watch on that I've already DVR'd so I can just fast forward past the commercials.
Lmao it is for some reason just the full episode of The Pit Stop but as an ad

Skip it as soon as it's possible.. Not paying for premium and have no idea how to ad block on TV lol
I watch YouTube more than any other streaming service and by a lot
I don't watch YT on tv because of ads and the browser subs page is the only way I really like to scroll through YT content.
I've never considered installing Vanced on my fire tv though. I might do that, but I still probably won't use it very much because I like to watch YT while sitting at my desk.

YouTube Premium person here. Had it since Google Play Music -> YouTube Music. Would actually prefer to switch to spotify for music but the YouTube premium deal is too good to pass up.
oh my god, I was gonna say it seems like an outfit for some sort of review format?Lmao it is for some reason just the full episode of The Pit Stop but as an ad

You get YouTube music with the premium subscription. It took some getting used at first, but it's actually pretty good to use now.
I have the premium family plan, definitely worth it since I'm grandfathered in on an old price.
Premium member here, totally worth it. I have a living room PC that I used to watch Youtube on with ad-block on Chrome. But after getting an X900H I embraced the smart tv life- using the remote and the app is just more streamlined and ergonomic than a keyboard/touchpad. "Typing" with the onscreen keyboard sucks, but mostly I watch my subbed channels and stuff from the algorithm so I don't need to type a search very often. And I believe the Premium subscription helps to support creators while free plugin ad-blocking takes revenue from them. I watch a lot of Youtube so it's worth it. People passionate about their interests making videos on their own is to me just a lot more compelling most of the time than demographic-targeted focus-grouped corporate-produced tv shows.
At least those are skippable.
Paramount + has UNSKIPPABLE ads for their own programs.
Most videos I watch on my TV have minimal ads thankfully. Maybe one at the start and one or two during if they're longer than 10-20 minutes. So I just skip them with my remote when I can. Hasn't been a huge deal. Most annoying ones are the like 10 seconds ads that don't offer skipping.
I don't enjoy ads, but if it keeps things free I can skip asap or look at my phone for 30 seconds.
Pro tip: you can browse the YT app on your phone and play/queue up videos on the TV if you don't like typing with the remote
I haven't had an unskippable 26 minute video. If so, I'd stop and restart the content I wanted.
Is this available on Fire Stick? I'm about to be awarded a free one and trying to figure out if it has any perks over my aging Roku box.
I only watch Business Blaze ads. Mostly because he always goes off tangent and you don't know if its part of the ad or not. Kinda funny how a couple companies are like sure do whatever you want, just be sure to put the legal s*** in there too someplace.
