So this is some bollocks. Guess I’ll be cancelling our plan since it’s only used by two of us.

Current price $17.99/month, new price $32.99/month.

If they boiled the frog better I would probably have accepted a $5/month price rise, and then another later… But close to doubling in one go is a no from me dawg.

    I have an android phone and an android TV so I see no ads. However I have an iPad which I take away and the ads make me sad.

    Is there any way to adblock YouTube on an iPad?

      Safari has the hyperweb extension that does a pretty good job for me!

      Edit: hyperweb does a bunch of stuff, eliminating youtube ads is only a fraction of this extension

          oh damn, didn’t know that. I just knew that Firefox was installable on iOS, and extensions work great on Android, so I’d assume it’d be the same. But you’re right, apple locks browsers into using WebKit. That sucks

      Late, but maybe nextdns. I haven’t actually tried with YouTube on an iPhone/ipad, but I know they integrate pretty easily on Apple devices. Fairly customizable too with a free tier, just need to make a profile.
