YouTube is running an experiment asking some users to disable their ad blockers or pay for a premium subscription, or they will not be allowed to watch videos.

    There’s a good fork of NewPipe which has SponsorBlock, but a good portion of what I use YouTube for (say like 80%?) is ASMR videos.

    And they make those damn sponsor ads so relaxing!

      Yup, it’s this one. I personally use it, and it makes the YouTube experience so much more enjoyable. It takes a second to get used to the UI, but it’s amazing once you get the hang of it
