    Why would you pay for YouTube and then get an ad blocker? Seems redundant.

    Also, YouTube has begun integrating ads server side, making them more difficult to parse out.

    Better: quit youtube premium, get an adblocker and live life hassle free

    The third part is youtube keeps implementing more sophisticated ad blocking to the point you can't block ads..

    I think its the opposite, the more they tighten the noose the more innovative our solutions are for getting around them. I got so pissed off at seeing half my video watching time go to ads that I found a youtube alternative that goes right on my firestick (smarttube). I wouldnt have bothered doing all that if they had not pushed it too far, which they obviously have.
