all these people missing the part where I said "holding a shotgun" -- I guarantee you'll never see a YouTube ad on your network again if no data from their servers ever gets past your router. It's not a subtle or precise option, but it is highly effective. Much like a shotgun.
Then you can just use peertube, piped, or invidious when that gets fixed
Invidious is currently out of order. Not sure if they would be able to cut out the ads.
never underestimate the tenacity and ingenuity of spiteful pirates. It's been a while since I last used invidious, but I can't imagine it being permanently broken. in the meantime -- Piped, then?
If things get real stupid, we might have to employ AI to identify and strip ads from videos before mirroring. edit: Someone has, in fact, already trained an AI to identify ads in a video, with apparently 97.4% accuracy. So, the hard part's already been done.
Piped wasn't working earlier.
