Rules:

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.

Those are the three choices most people will have.

LMAO

You forgot the simplest of them: Firefox, uBlock Origins, SponsorBlock. Works on desktop and Android.

Homie missed the point. using ublock and sponsorblock is equal to petty theft. Disliking a company doesn't make it morally right to steal from them.

Imagine acting like removing unwanted content from MY screen is theft. My device my rules honey

Oh baby, you don't understand what you just said, do you?

Nobody forces you to watch ads. Close YouTube, don't look back, email content creators to have em send ad free video links directly to you.

Watching ads is your obligation as consumer, if you decide not to pay for their removal.

It's not my obligation and I'm never going to stop because controlling what appears on my screen, is my legal right ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

If people decide to pay for something they have no legal obligation to because they got brainwashed, that only makes them suckers

You are mixing two things. Nobody can just blast ads on your phone without your consent. But you did give consent by accessing YouTube.
