The rise in generative AI technology has made scamming people online much easier, with fake versions of Tom Hanks, Mr. Beast, and other celebrities often appearing in online ads. YouTube still has a problem with fraudulent advertisements, as I've learned from my own YouTube feed over the past few months.
What about DNS level AdBlock + FOSS front ends? NewPipe x SponsorBlock and ViMusic.
Doesn’t play nice with the Roku Ultra. And can’t.install NewPipe.
The problem there it’s your hardware, my humble opinion it’s grab a cheap Mi TV Stick 4K(don’t get fooled by the general opinion of Chinese stuff)from AliExpress and pirate all the way up. I personally didn’t like Roku cos their Hardware and Software it’s so closed you can’t do anything with them unless you pay and you will have to eat up all the adds.
well, YouTube (specifically RedLetterMedia) is the only thing with ads. I specifically avoid the ad laden shit, and am gonna (yeah right. Eventually) get a headless Plex set up downstairs. I’m fucking drowning in blurays and DVDs. Lol
