For me the Revanced app is so bad. It leaves a .sh file that gets out of date and causes all kind of issues. I just changed my ways to start using Magisk modules instead.
Youtube is driving me loco with the ads

I've never had that problem. I use uBlock Origin and SponsorBlock.
And also ReVanced on mobile (which does need manually updating sometimes when it stops working)
On PC it has been problem free, I haven't seen a single ad, nor have I seen the adblock nag that many people got.
Maybe try Firefox.
It was just a simple misunderstanding, jeez. I could have sworn last time I looked in like 2022 it was root only, but looking at archives I was wrong. Didn't think it was that important to update my post because like, the next post down someone had already corrected me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I'm not paying to watch videos online. I'd boycott Youtube first. Easy decision.
People don't seem to mind it because it's ad-free, but ReVanced offers so many more options and it's free of charge.
YT Premium should allow to hide Shorts, right? It doesn't.
hmmm... there are quite a few shorts that I enjoy watching. But... just looking in Chrome right now on my desktop (and I don't have premium, mind you), I go to my "home" in YouTube, scroll down to shorts, and off to the right there is an X that says "not interested" when you hover over it. I wonder what that does?
I don't think you can block shorts officially. IIRC the "not interested" button is just to say "not interested in that set/the content of them".
On desktop blocktube is your friend and can completely remove them.
This is why I won't pay for premium. Pay for it, but then still need to run a load of addons or use a third party client anyway to make youtube usable.

I use uBlock Origin with SpoinsorBlock, and never see a single ad or sponsorship. I don't even get tricked into Linus Sebastion's segways into his sponsors anymore.
I have honestly forgotten what seeing an ad in Youtube is lmao. Like when somebody tries to show me something in a non-ad blocked device all I can think is "You really live like this?"
The skip ad button becoming useless was the final nail In the coffin for me. You could tap/click it as much as you want but the ad will just finish playing its whole length
I ended up signing up for Maple signer(15/year) to get a dev cert for my iPad and iPhone so I could sideload a youtube app with adblock and sponsorblock built in. Now I can install this or any IPA without having to worry about it getting revoked
Youtube got greedy
This is the way! I mean if you pay for Youtube Premium. You still don't get rid of all the sponsors (also use Firefox)
