Comment on YouTube: 5 ads the norm now?

easy fix: don’t use the app on your phone.
instead use youtube via your browser with adblock (for instance safari + adblock pro) and create a shortcut on your homescreen. you can use youtube just like in the app, you won’t have any ads and you also can play videos with your screen turned off

This is exactly what I do also, but it’s worth admitting that it’s not the same as the app. For one, I have to take care to open videos in new tabs, otherwise when I’m done and try to go back to my list, it starts me back at the top of the page rather than where I left off.
