Ways to Watch YouTube Without Ads
YouTube generates revenue through the display of advertisements. Advertisers pay YouTube to showcase their ads, and a share of this payment is passed on to the video creators as a method of monetizing the platform.
The ads you view on YouTube can be affected by your location, past search history, and the type of videos you frequently watch. This information is utilized by YouTube to present advertisements that are more relevant to you.

An ad blocker is a software application, typically a browser extension, that eliminates advertising content, including annoying ads, from websites.
It is important to exercise caution when installing ad blockers as some may contain malicious software. To safeguard your computer from any potential security threats, ensure to only add reliable ad blockers to your browser.
