edit: I swear google has some code that listens to background noise and does this on purpose
There are so many ways to watch youtube without ads. So. Many. Ways.
I used to use VPN location settings and ad blockers, but I’ve got them on quite a few devices and that became a bit of a hit-and-miss ballache. So instead, I subscribed. Of course, they believe I live in India, so I pay about £2 per month. I do not live in India.
Firefox + uBlock.

duckduckgo also and vivaldi
What amateurs still watch YouTube with ads? Every platform has plenty of easy solutions to bypass it.

I get listening to music in the shower, although I don’t. Watching videos while taking a shower? Maybe while taking a bath.
But, really, you can’t step away from media for a few minutes a day for some peace and quiet?
Suffering through being alone with your thoughts is the first step toward better mental health. Your issues don’t go away if you ignore them, they just get worse. You know this, so make an effort for yourself.
Is it really impossible for people to just watch their dicks (or equivalent) for a few minutes a day?
I mean it can be dysphoric for some but I assume that is not the reason this person needed a distraction.
I’m using NouTube on Android via fdroid. It has YouTube and YouTube Music together in one app and automatically skips both ads and sponsorship segments. Basically free premium, at least on Android.
Have you been getting any error recently? Im on PipePipe and got this error 3 times today.

Laughs in Firefox.
I got one of those phone cases thay you glue to your shower wall. Its waterproof and still works with my phone touchscreen. 10/10 can skip any adda
Getchu one of these.
For those who play YouTube or other videos in the shower, it is really nice. Make sure it fits your case though. My wife doesn’t use ours because her otter box monstrosity wont let the cover shut.
Or if you’re a poor high school student like I was, chuck it in a ziploc and set it on the caddy.
Or just get a water resistant phone. Though I would suggest caution when it’s soapy water because that affects the surface tension of the water, which could mean some can slip past the seals that normally keep water out.
Though I have a water resistant phone but have never brought it into the shower with me. It was more of a case of not wanting to be worried about my phone in any kind of a situation involving water. Like going in to one of those 3D movie attractions with moving seats that sprayed water, I was concerned about whether I should be concerned about my phone getting wet. Turned out to be just tiny amounts of water and nothing to be concerned about even if I had my phone out, but after that I wanted to remove that worry from the list entirely.
Heat and steam can also be a factor in a water breach. A phone that can be fully submerged into a pool of water may or may not stand up well to steam at its seams, particularly where those seams have different materials with different expansion rates due to heat, like glass and aluminum. Small gaps may open, even if invisible to the eye, and steam can seap in. It may not even be a problem immediately but get worse later when the steam cools and condensates.
Yeah, though at least pressure doesn’t really factor in, which I think is where most cases of steam breaching a water seal comes in to play. But if gases can be exchanged, steam is way higher humidity than air normally and can condense inside.
My guess would be the odds of a soap or steam breach on a water resistant phone is very low, but if you bring your phone in for every shower, you might be tempting those odds.
