Comment on YouTube might slow down your videos if you block ads

I pay for YouTube premium so that I can leave the app and listen to videos. I still get ads even though I’m paying. I don’t think there’s a single surefire way to avoid them.

Use Firefox + ublock origin.
Start the video, get out of the app/lock you phone, then swipe down and click on ‘play’ on the media controls.This works on andriod, unsure about ios.

Get Revanced or Newpipe or something like that. You get the same benefits you’re paying for, plus many that you aren’t, and it’s all for free. Not only that, but you’re not giving you’re money to Google.
