@curseofthewise: That argument doesn't get you as far as you'd like. It's not the end user, nor even the creatives, that determined the internet needs to be a shitty ad-infested place. And I don't accept the implication that it's ethically/morally required for anyone who wants to use the internet to stare at ads every second they're on it and just accept things as is. I'm sure the platforms and advertising corporations would love that, though.

Edit: And as far as I can tell, no one in this thread at least is complaining about Premium content.

@sombre: There are ways to do it. If you just want to block YouTube ads, the simplest solution would be something like SmartTubeNext. It's a custom YouTube app with built-in adblocking that you can install on Android devices (including the Fire TV stick). Haven't tried it myself since I don't really need it in my situation, but it looks easy enough to install that it could be worth a try.

@daavpuke: Just FYI, there's an open-source ad blocker for Twitch called "Twitch Adblock" that works pretty well. It's in both the Firefox and Chrome extension libraries. uBlock Origin, while effective for YouTube, doesn't handle Twitch on its own very well.

As opposed to other channels? YouTube is built around delivering ads.

Thankfully, it's not difficult to block ads on YouTube if you don't want to see them.

Seems to be working just fine for me now. I tried doing what I did before as well as playing with all of the options and nothing broke it. *thumbs up*

Fireworks bother both me and the animals, and I don't have any resonance with the ideological content. Bottom-tier holiday in my estimation.

Every day I wake up and wonder if I'm going to get another chance to feel the high of Sekiro's combat again. Until then, I sleep...
