Nah, I'm too Gen X to watch videos on my phone, let me pull it up on my laptop.

Videos are a big screen activity.

[–] goldteeth@lemmy.dbzer0.com 39 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

For me it's more that youtube videos are a browser with an ad blocker activity.

Firefox for mobile with your chosen ad-blocker

I've found the venn diagram of those who most frequently try to get me to watch videos on their phone, and the people who watch said videos in a third-party browser on a device that supports extensions, is just two distant circles. Your mileage may vary.

I watch things all the time on my iPhone, no ads ever! Use Wipr for a couple bucks or Firefox Focus for free and no ads!

Edit: or Vinegar and Baking Soda also make for better mobile video experiences.

Wipr is the best, no ads nor problems. Frequent updates. Accepts donations!

Never heard of it but I’m going in, thanks to you both for the authentic recommendation.

And a big screen. Not necessarily 'living room tv' big, but definetly big enough that I can't fit that in my pocket.

Have you really lived until you have watched a hour long marble race while cuddling

[–] spamspeicher@feddit.org 10 points 2 weeks ago

But not a the biggest screen you have activity. That is reserved for movies and TV shows.

[–] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 3 points 2 weeks ago

At least medium screen.

[–] CheeryLBottom@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

I know, right??
