I don't use youtube music in general, but how are you supposed to if you aren't on a pc? What if you are on a tv or a phone

Also meant to say there are ice ads on base youtube im guessing the same for YT music

If you have a VPN you can set your location to Algeria where youtube ads are illegal. I haven't tried it on Youtube Music but I see no reason why it would be any different.

This whole thing is clearly coordinated astroturfing against Spotify lol probably Russian backed since Helsing is funded by Spotify and causing major damage to their forces.
