For me the Revanced app is so bad. It leaves a .sh file that gets out of date and causes all kind of issues. I just changed my ways to start using Magisk modules instead.
Youtube is driving me loco with the ads

I've never had that problem. I use uBlock Origin and SponsorBlock.
And also ReVanced on mobile (which does need manually updating sometimes when it stops working)
On PC it has been problem free, I haven't seen a single ad, nor have I seen the adblock nag that many people got.
Maybe try Firefox.
It was just a simple misunderstanding, jeez. I could have sworn last time I looked in like 2022 it was root only, but looking at archives I was wrong. Didn't think it was that important to update my post because like, the next post down someone had already corrected me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I'm not paying to watch videos online. I'd boycott Youtube first. Easy decision.
People don't seem to mind it because it's ad-free, but ReVanced offers so many more options and it's free of charge.
YT Premium should allow to hide Shorts, right? It doesn't.
hmmm... there are quite a few shorts that I enjoy watching. But... just looking in Chrome right now on my desktop (and I don't have premium, mind you), I go to my "home" in YouTube, scroll down to shorts, and off to the right there is an X that says "not interested" when you hover over it. I wonder what that does?
I don't think you can block shorts officially. IIRC the "not interested" button is just to say "not interested in that set/the content of them".
On desktop blocktube is your friend and can completely remove them.
This is why I won't pay for premium. Pay for it, but then still need to run a load of addons or use a third party client anyway to make youtube usable.

I use uBlock Origin with SpoinsorBlock, and never see a single ad or sponsorship. I don't even get tricked into Linus Sebastion's segways into his sponsors anymore.
I have honestly forgotten what seeing an ad in Youtube is lmao. Like when somebody tries to show me something in a non-ad blocked device all I can think is "You really live like this?"
Funny thing about YouTube. It really isn't yours. It should be TheirTube.
The skip ad button becoming useless was the final nail In the coffin for me. You could tap/click it as much as you want but the ad will just finish playing its whole length
I ended up signing up for Maple signer(15/year) to get a dev cert for my iPad and iPhone so I could sideload a youtube app with adblock and sponsorblock built in. Now I can install this or any IPA without having to worry about it getting revoked
Youtube got greedy
Could have simply used Brave or uBlock Origin with Orion Browser.
I also use Brave(its low key the only usable way to use gbatemp on mobile now) but I dislike the mobile UI version of the Youtube app. Especially on smaller screen devices. You also cant cast to another screen from them
Firefox v3.0 got so bloated, I switched to Chrome and never looked back. Still don't.
It will never be "fixed" Manifest v3 was made to diminish adblocker (and general addon) capabilities.

I'd quite enjoy a life of taking it easy. But I haven't reached that life yet.

if you have a habitable basement, the heat shouldn't be down there and that's where you should hang out
