Here's what I do using Chrome (b/c youtube nerfs Firefox by throttling it)

Add these extensions:

Unhook - Hide youtube recommendations and other garbage

Clear Skies - Ad skipper

Ah.. youtube is usable again

I really appreciate all the solutions that are being offered, but I don't think a paying customer should have to go through all that.

I was pretty happy with the YouTube music app, it was working great. I don't get why the main app must insist in forcing something that I don't want to watch.

You vote with your wallet. Stop complaining. seriously. OP just provided you the info. 1+ for Unhooked. For Ad-blocking I use uBlock Origin.

I already cancelled my subscription. I'm trying to get more people do the same by talking about the issue.

I can't find Clear Skies. Can you please link?
