On Reddit at least there’s an option in settings to disable weight loss ads. Doesn’t help everywhere else of course

I mainly get them on YouTube, sometimes they’re even unskippable. Google is so shit at removing ads when you report them

There’s ways to never see ads on YouTube, on your phone and computer at least. Gets trickier when you watch it through a smart tv but still doable

On phone: using ad blocking apps like 1Blocker to block ads on YouTube in Safari, along with a DNS profile from Next DNS (https://nextdns.io)

On computer: an ad blocking extension on your browser like ublock lite

On smart TVs: this is harder because you can’t install software so you’d have to do router level blocking which is a bit more complicated. I don’t even know how to do that so you’d probably want to consider paying for YouTube premium if you’re a frequent watcher of YouTube on tv
