You can pay for YouTube and it will remove ads. i don't think drive has ads to begin with.


..and you still tracked and your data is mined like anyone else.

There is just no incentive to pay money to big corporations now. I was paying $14.99 for play music and youtube red (ad free). At this time, I don't want my data to be collected and profiled against. But that is not possible. Same thing goes for Washington Post and NY times.

I canceled my subscriptions and enabled ad block via Pi hole.


If you wanna take it a step further, setting up Wireguard on a Raspberry Pi is super easy. it gives you remote access to your PiHole. Look up PiVPN.
