minus-squareA_norny_mousse@piefed.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·3 months ago Much more likely that m.youtube.com (which I believe is what SmartTube uses?) has found a way to start passing on ads. How could that happen without anyone implementing that into the app? At least it sounds like that’s what you’re arguing.
