How to disable ads from videos on Youtube
YouTube is a massive platform that features a truly staggering amount of online video content. Whatever type of entertainment you're looking for, there's a good chance that you'll find a decent supply on YouTube. Those so-called free videos come with a cost though, and it comes in the form of advertisements.
YouTube is plastered with banner ads that clog up the site, pre-roll ads that play before videos, mid-roll ads that play during longer videos. Often these ads interfere with or compete for your attention while watching.
The good news is that you can block ads on YouTube regardless of the type of device you use to consume your online video content. Modern web browsers on Windows PCs and Apple computers are all compatible with ad block plug-ins that are capable of disabling even the most stubborn of online ads, and standalone ad blocker web browser apps can wipe out YouTube ads on both Android and iOS devices.
Is Blocking Ads on YouTube Legal?
Blocking ads on YouTube, or ads on any other site on the Internet isn't illegal. Website developers are able to detect when a browser has an ad blocker installed, and implement countermeasures like blocking out content. Most sites don't do this because it results in a very poor user experience.
The main argument against blocking ads on YouTube is that some content creators rely on ad revenues to support the creation of more content. When viewers block ads on YouTube, the creators don't get paid, which may result in less enjoyable content down the road. However, there is no law that says you absolutely have to sit through an unskippable three-minute pre-roll ad before every video you watch.
Paying to Remove Ads From YouTube
If you want to continue supporting content creators on YouTube, but you really can't stand watching ads, then YouTube has a paid service that removes all ads. This service is called YouTube Premium, and it also provides access to exclusive shows like Mind Field and the Karate Kid sequel series Cobra Kai.
YouTube Premium is available as a standalone subscription, but it is also included as a bonus for Google Play Music All Access subscribers.
Other ways to support your favorite YouTube creators include donating directly through services like PayPal and Patreon, or via YouTube's Superchat feature that is available during live streams.
