Avoid adverts on YouTube | YouTube not what it used to be | Google is evil

Google/YouTube is now spammed with adverts. It is horrible to use and ruins anything you are tying to watch or listen to. YouTube/Google is now also highly corporatised and actively boosts, promotes corporate and partnered entities & creators over small independent ones. In short, it rigs the algorithm. YouTube/Google is also unethical, highly censorious and explicitly politically partisan (left leaning).

You can avoid adverts on YouTube by using Brave Browser or proxy APKs like NewPipe and SmartTube.
