    IMO blocking ads is a form of piracy. You are circumventing there form (ads) of monetization. But yea Newpipe is great I personally use Tubular

      Did you enter into a contract saying you must watch ads to use the service? Is ad blocking against ToS? I don’t think either are true, and a “click to consent” isn’t legally binding. Either way, I will never not block ads as it is important from a privacy and cyber security perspective.
