I posted this question because I once saw a tweet that said something like:

“If you use adblock, you don’t care about creator’s point blank”

What is your opinion on this? Do you agree with them?

    I use Pi-hole, which is great since it is network wide. Doesn’t do much for youtube, so for that I just download videos using yt-dlp. Downloading the video has the added bonus that you get the highest video quality for 100% of the video.

      Ublock origin blocks YouTube ads, is there any reason you don’t use it?

      I use Piped for YouTube because it’s better for privacy, has no ads, is way more lightweight and thus faster, allows for accounts so your subscriptions and playlists are safed and there’s an android app for it called LibreTube which looks really good (because it uses Material v3) and it allows you to login with a piped account so I also have my subscriptions and playlists there
