Yes. On android there is an app called YouTube revanced that is ad free. Don't know about pc though

If you are using a desktop computer, you can use Firefox with the add-on uBlock Origin. It's an ongoing battle as YouTube keeps pushing updates that break it, though it's not usually long before it is fixed.

a week after i had accepted their terms they deleted my account ..... i knew it was coming they been trying to give me strikes for the past 3 months .... they are culling the platform again ... yeh on my other account i noticed the add's wanna play like it pauses for a sec then just plays without adverts ... yeh so all good for now ,, thanks for the input stevengw

Weird. I only got some annoying popups a few days complaing about the adblock i use. Then it went back normal again. Adblock was even praised by google for helping with spam and spyware with popups. Cant see myself using a web browser without it.

adblock doesn't work with youtube as it use to, luckily on phone i use dns.adguard.com in private dns, blocks all the ads on chrome or ingame

i've had to accept there ads again seems to be no way out if you're using a pc because they know you are using sum kind of adblock ....

mine still works on chrome. Does act up sometimes tho.

I use Smart Tube on my Nvidia Shield

Same

A bit off topic, but private browsing mode in firefox reduces the amount of ads on some sites.

Youtube, though? As this is the topic

Totally did not mark my post as off topic... oh wait!
