I’ve set up my SO with adfree alternative clients for Youtube 3 times now, and she always defaults back to the adinfested youtube app - and she’s at least a competent user. i cannot wrap my head around it, but it’s her time and attention she’s wasting, not mine.
If they’re on android, try revanced. It’s a patched YouTube apk, so the interface is the same (unless you change stuff, like, for example, disabling shorts - but by default, it’s the same).
My SO watches free tier youtube.
Edit: please stop with the alternative youtube client suggestions. I’ve tried. She likes the YT app and the ads. This hill is not worth dying on.
Nothing wrong with that on ad block. Intro them to pipepipe if they watch it mostly on mobile.
She refuses to use pipepipe. IDK why.
