Survey reveals how many of you are swerving YouTube ads — and how

Wait 5 sec.

As much as we might bemoan the streaming behemoth, YouTube is still where a huge chunk of our daily video watching happens. That might mean actively sitting down to watch for some people, or just letting it run in the background for others. But between ads and general visual clutter, the experience doesn’t always feel especially focused on the video itself.That’s what prompted Andy Walker to dig into the best ways to watch YouTube without ads and interruptions. He laid out a range of approaches that he has tried, from browsers and third-party apps to straight-up paying for YouTube Premium. Within that piece, Andy posed a poll question to you to see which of these options our readers actually rely on in real life and how divided opinions really are when it comes to tolerating YouTube as it is. The results are presented below and make for curious reading.
