"Sponsored by You Tube" 15 second full screen Ad on You Tube Premium account Android device

about 2 or 3 weeks ago it began popping up taking over the whole screen and not allowing me to close it until 15 seconds with countdown clock on the top right corner. Ive gone into my apps, i can not find the culprit. Can someone please tell me why supposedly you tube sponsored ads are taking over my whole screen JUST on You Tube when i have a Premium Account? Can someone please tell me how to remove this from my device?

Quick and easy: Add uBlock Origin on Brave Browser

Mostly a reminder for myself because I keep forgetting, but this is the easiest way to activate the integrated uBlock Origin extension in Brave:

brave://settings/extensions/v2

^ put this into your Brave Browser address line. Flick the toggle on "enable Ublock Origin".

Done!

What’s your current setup for reducing ads in native mobile apps?

I mostly use the native YouTube, YouTube Music and Spotify apps on my iPhone, and the number of ads has become increasingly frustrating.

Firefox with uBlock Origin works reasonably well for browser playback, but I’d prefer to keep using the native apps. I’m interested in device-level or network-level options that don’t require jailbreaking or constantly changing settings.

What are you currently using on iOS or Android? Does it still work after app updates, and are there any drawbacks such as battery drain, slower loading, broken playback or missed ads?

Please mention your operating system and actual limitations. I’m looking for real experiences rather than referral links.

Hot take

Mobile Wifi should come without advertisement.

I am on a train, no wifi except mobile data, I strongly believe that youtube and similar sites should not have ads while I have to oay money. I won't buy your shitty service and pay money on top of that.

So sick of unlimited unwanted ads in my message box.

I get atleast 10-15 ad messages every single day its so infuriating to report, unsubscribe and delete.

I have stopped giving my numbers in any outlets for discounts, offers and what not.

I can atleast convince myself to tolerate it if it was from the website i purchased but 90% of it are services i didnt even sign up for, not sure which company sold my number. Is there a way to fix this other than just changing my Number.

I built an open-source AdBlock & Tracker testing website. Looking for feedback.

Hi everyone!

I have been working on an open-source project called AdBlock360 Test.

The goal is to provide a simple way to test how well ad blockers, DNS filters, and browser protections block advertising and tracking resources.

Current features:

• 100 ad & tracker test domains

• Privacy score

• Progress bar

• Mobile-friendly UI

• GitHub Pages deployment

• Open source

Live Demo:

https://mireli5656.github.io/Adblock360-test/

GitHub:

https://github.com/Mireli5656/Adblock360-test

I'm looking for honest feedback.

What would you improve?

Any bugs, ideas, or feature suggestions are welcome.

Thanks!

How are you blocking ads in YouTube, YT Music, and Spotify mobile APPS?

Is it just me, or have mobile ads on YouTube, YouTube Music, and Spotify gotten completely unbearable lately?

Right now, my only workaround is using Firefox with uBlock Origin, but that only works for web browsing and doesn't solve the issue for mobile apps.

I’m looking for a solid mobile setup on iOS(or Android), so what setup are you currently using that actually works?
