> YouTube ads are annoying

Just use an adblocker.

> Music catalog is sub-par and not worth the switch from Spotify.

Youtube has virtually every song ever made for free, a much larger catalog than Spotify. I can't think of anything that's on Spotify but isn't on Youtube. I never understood why people pay for Spotify subscriptions.

YouTube music quality is shit. You're watching a compressed video with music in it.

They do have a music app for subscribers which is much better.

As I grew a family my YouTube time went from mostly desktop to almost all phone/tablet. Can't Adblock that stuff. I'm betting lots of people watch YouTube on mobile devices.

Funny just had the same discussion on here a week ago, but there are many workarounds, my choice being downloading the Firefox app and installing an AdBlocker. Also lets you continue playing with the screen off.

I watch YouTube on mobile and adblock works just fine.

I guess my offense is using the app and not Firefox with Adblock installed in order to cast it to my PS3 at times.

I should see how web YouTube mobile compares!
