YouTube is finally cracking down on third-party apps like ReVanced - Pawb.Social

I’m sure they are working on a youtube messaging app behind the scenes.

I have YouTube Premium but I have to use ReVanced to block shorts because it’s terrible for my ADHD. My mental health has improved ever since I ripped that fucker out of my life.

I want to control what I see, and this isn’t even about them being paid anymore, it’s just about forcing me to see what I don’t want to see.

I know it will eventually be blocked by YouTube like Twitch did but you could try ublock Origin with this filter list or another custom filter list. Works pretty well for me.

Another good one I use! As well as AdNauseam and SponsorBlock, obviously :P
i would recommend you the “freetube” client, it works very well, with no recommended feed
You can hide them with the normal app. Just click the “x” on your main feed.
They always re-appear and I’m tempted to click on them, that’s the main issue.
