Ironic that Revanced, an app that claims to block YouTube ads, injects its own ads.

Edit: I downloaded the wrong version.

if you must use prepackaged, !revancedapks@lemmy.ml I’ve found works.

Maybe you have downloaded the wrong APK, there are some bad actors providing “pre built YouTube Revanced APKs”. Be sure to only download the Revanced Manager from https://revanced.app/ and the unpatched YT APK (version should match the recommended one in the manager) from a trusted source like apkpure etc.

Does it actually? Genuinely want to know. I’ve been using Revanced since vanced stopped working and haven’t seen a single ad but maybe that’s because of other things I’m doing with my phone

I have no idea what that person meant. The only thing that Revanced “injects” are info and updates of the app. The only thing I can think of is if they’ve installed it from a sketchy unofficial source.
