I mean, it's not necessarily wrong. That is one way to block YouTube ads on Android.
It's just that if you're savvy enough, you can also do it for free
Firefox + Ublock Origin + Ghostery.
Not even sure if Ghostery is necessary.
Yes, there are a slew of NewPipe derivatives and what not, but this is not really that complicated.
Ghostery got bought, and is now selling your data, while tracker blocking has become a default on Firefox and ublock.
Just Firefox and Ublock are all you're gonna need, for a long time
Fuck me, I didnt know ghostery sold out, thanks for letting me know.
