When I click on a yewtu.be link, it goes to youtube. Then I have to pause it, change it to hooktube and enter it again to avoid those ads.
(maybe Anticlutch is right about me being a retard)
Weird. Never had that happen, but hooktube usually tells me api error over quota.
There's always invidious. (invidio.us)
unfortunatley invidiou.us (which was the best yt fork ever) has shut down, but there are instances such as yewtu.be and invidious.fdn.fr and invidious.io
