If you are tired of annoying ads, you can install the SkyTube application to limit the situation.
SkyTube is an open source Android app that users can install to replace the official YouTube app. SkyTube offers a watch-only experience, which means it doesn’t support signing in with a Google account. However, you can still subscribe to channels, bookmark favorite videos, etc.
Besides, SkyTube also supports a lot of useful features that the official YouTube app does not support, including the ability to block malicious channels, block ads (in and out of videos), allow users to download videos for offline playback, play videos in the background (when the screen is off)… SkyTube is currently available for free at https://skytube-app.com/ or you can install the app through the F-Droid app store. SkyTube’s interface is quite simple. Photo: MINH HOANG SkyTube’s interface is quite simple, the application will display videos by category, such as Featured (featured), Trending (trending), Bookmarks (marked videos) or downloaded videos. To search for a video, you can click on the magnifying glass icon, then enter the corresponding keyword or paste the video’s URL (link) directly. Next to it is the option to block malicious channels (the shield icon). When opening any video, you can use gestures to control. For example, swipe from the right edge to the left to open the comment section, swipe up from the bottom to open the description, slide up and down on the screen to increase or decrease the brightness, volume, etc. SkyTube supports ad blocking in videos.

Note, if you have enough money, users should buy YouTube Premium to not be bothered by ads on YouTube.
