I really like the app, but I wish it would let me load ads on creators I wanna support, I realize it's worth less then peanuts, but if it could allow only 30s ads or less that would be perfect for me
Sign up to their patreon or buy their merch. They'll get a bigger cut that way.
if only I had the funds to do so lol
Yeah understandable, good on ya for wanting to pay it back tho!
Just open your favorite creator on the main app or through your browser with AdBlock off
that is a terrible UX lol, the main youtube app for TV is absolute dogwater, it's slow and it even crashes fairly often. im not going to swap apps for this. browser is even worse
Oh I agree that it's terrible, and that's what you should be expecting with ads, as a majority of the money goes towards funding the terrible YouTube experience. If you really want to support your content creators, send them money directly. $5 directly to them will improve their lives more than 3¢. If you don't want to go as far as directly funding them, try patreon even.
It’s not really possible because api requests don’t include ads AFAIK
I am aware, just find it kinda sad
If you are that concerned why not just run a playlist of their videos on desktop in the background with the tab muted and Adblock off while you do other things.
