True, holy shit if they wouldn't completely bomb you with ads everywhere it might change something, but I accidentally used the official app on my smartphone and I can't even make out content between the ads in the UI.
Not to speak of the 50s ads for a 20s video, nah won't ever go back to the official experience.
It reminds me back when ad blockers came around, nobody cared for the one banner or some pictures on the site, but they ripped your arm out and cried when there were finally solutions for solving that harassment.
Revanced stonks
I used the official app up until we got two ads before every video and the first one is always unstoppable. Now it's unbearable to use so I use an adblock.
