      Use Downloader by AFTVNews to download and install it, I guarantee it’s worth the ~5 minutes of effort it takes to do and AFTVNews Downloader is safe. I don’t know how anyone watches Youtube without ad block and sponsorblock these days, haha.

      Its not an app you can install via appstore. You need to download the apk and install it.

  Theres also the possibility to use a VPN and log in from Albania (I think) to avoid ads altogether because they’re not legal there.

    It is Albania. I will say that it’s more correct to say that YouTube chooses not to send ads to Albania, rather than Albania banning it.

    Albanians anti ad laws state that ads are required to be safe for children, with the platform being responsible for failure… So Google is not spending the effort to make the ads safe.

      I didn’t know it is the other way around (Albania ban vs. YouTube not playing ads)! Thanks for elaborating.

  On TV I silenced them as they start and look elsewhere meanwhile… I find joy in training myself to be unable to consciously recognise at all what is ongoing till the video start
