ReVanced. Youtube ads are either scams or viruses half the time, and they're exhausting mentally to deal with. I'll buy merch from people I want to support, because fuck google.
Citation needed.
If the largest ad network on the planet were regularly getting peoples devices pwned just by watching a video, that would be front page news everywhere. Like even the cover of Rachel Ray magazine.
To clarify, its less a virus running from watching, and more "check out this useless software plz click me" and the software is bloatware that wants a bunch of permissions to suck up data. Or ads for psuedo pyramid schemes or "lose weight fast" sort of shit.
So virus is probably the wrong term, technically. But bloatware, useless garbage, and scams, absolutely.
Revanced? On iPhone. Please correct me if I'm wrong since I would love to use it
https://revanced.net/revanced-for-ios
I use it on android, so I cant speak for ios, but this is their github page: https://github.com/revanced/revanced-manager
Then it makes sense, thx. I was mistaken and thought this was another(ios) magazine.
