And as a PSA: YouTube might or might not be secretly cracking down on 3rd party clients. There have been issues with Invidious & yt-dlp and I have had a few instances where NewPipe on Android bugged out. Let's see where this leads to

"Five to ten second ads are already normal what is thi- ... oh. Yeah I see what they're upset about."
I wish there would be an iOS app for Peertube. Then I could start to migrate. But without a mobile app, this is not really useful.

Oh well, I have already left Twitter and Reddit this year, I'm down for one more.
I have essentially stopped using YouTube at this point due to the ads, and the first time I get 5 unskippable ads will be the last time I use YouTube. I already essentially quit after it stopped being 1-2 20s skippable ads or 1-2 5s unskippable ads, which I thought was fair as long as it was no more than twice in 20-30 minutes. Now I get 2 unskippable 20s ads every time and there really isn’t anything on YouTube I want to watch that much.

Content industry trying increase the greed game now just like brick and mortar has been doing to us since Covid. Fantastic.
