If it’s true and I get ads on my Premium (which… to be fair I’m not paying full price anyway 😅), it may be the last push I needed to finally start reading books again…
Nothing will ever be the push you are looking for
Hey, so I canceled my YouTube Premium subscription a couple of months back and decided to pick up reading instead. It’s a different kind of entertainment, but I’m actually really enjoying it. I’ve been finding some really great books, and I’m finding it just as hard to put them down as I used to find it hard to stop binge-watching my favorite channels.
And this is why i,won’t start paying them money. They will never be content and will just keep pushing ads further and further.
Yeah the price will increase or ads or both. But it never just stops. It’s never enough
The growth must continue!
Even when you’ve reached complete market saturation…
If you’re dumb enough to pay for youtube premium and also can’t spell “ads” correctly you deserve to have them shoved in your face, you’re probably dumb enough to fall for them and buy the crap being advertised too.
Jesus, what a miserable outlook. Maybe take a break from being online for a while.
I think what you meant to say is “touch grass.”
I was thinking more like “pursue therapy” but that works, too
Because why express a thought in your own words when you can parrot some annoying phrase everyone else says?
Why waste the effort?
Sarcasm I hope
raises the question why pay for premium
For premium ads.
i dont care how “premium” ads are im not paying for them
Maybe they’re premium ads because the advertisers pay extra for access to a pool of self-selected suckers.
Ugh, you didn’t even pay for Premium Plus?
Bloody peasant…
A few years ago I got this experience on mobile and posted about it on r/assholedesign, but it was autoremoved as a banned repost even though I didn’t see anything like it. Yet another ban happy subreddit, I’m glad to be out of that place. This is truly awful though, and why I’m happy to use revanced.
Those are some preem ads, choom.
Fucking called it
wpggDoes lemmy have agedlikewine and agedlikemilk?
Fuck you man! You gave them the idea.
Quick, what’s tomorrow’s winning numbers?
4, 8, 15, 16, 23, and 42
No
WE HAVE TO GO BACK!
Not the ones you picked
More like next years
8 6 7 5 30 9
Lol that is gold
The only benefit now, but what if they start to serve 30 non-skippable ads without premium and ONLY 5 with premium, what a deal! Right?
the “lesser evil” strategy is so hot rn
If I’m paying monthly for a service without ads and I see a single (1) advertisement, I should at least get a month of free subscription because the other party is in breach of contract.
these posts are just getting ridiculous. USE. BRAVE. OR. FIREFOX.
did not know that, thanks. well, the biggest plus for me on brave was the background play option. any other browsers you recommend instead of it that has this feature?
You mean on android mobile? Firefox for Android has a extension that works nicely to allow you to play e.g. youtube videos in the background: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/video-background-play-fix/
For iOS though I’ve got no idea, sorry :(
yes android thanks
idk what browsers that is it sorry.
What ads? (Firefox and adblocker)
Yep… although… Lately my TV PC’s CPU has been groaning under the weight of all the Firefox addons required to make YouTube usable lol.
- Web: Firefox + uBlock Origin
- Mobile (Android only): Grayjay
- TV (Android): Smarttube
- iPhone/iPad: Brave Browser
Enjoy
Why not Firefox + uBlock Origin for Android?
Web option also works for mobile.
A more bigger list:
Web: Firefox (or any firefox fork) with Ublock origin + libreredirect. Invidious,Piped(broken at this time),Poketube (my personal favorite)
Mobile (Android and Ios): Yattee(The only ios client),Clipious (invidious client built with flutter), Libretube(Piped,broken at this time),Grayjay (has a strict open source license)
PC(Linux,windows and macos): Plasmatube (fits well with kde plasma a little to quiet),Freetube (if your fine with Electron which is using chromium)Am I just an idiot or is Yattee basically unusable?
It is unusable for me aswell(I tried it on my moms iphone), I changed the reply so that people know.
Additionally, there’s freetube for android, newpipe, tubular (newpipe with sponsorblock), and safari + adguard
also grayjay is source available rather than open source
Newpipe on android also works. Also viewing YouTube via the browser with uBlock origin on mobile works.
My premium is about to run out, and I had solutions for both my TV and phone via my TV’s homebrew store and ReVanced. Didn’t know that Brave just completely shut down ads on iPad, though. Amazing tip, thanks a bunch!
- PC: FreeTube
Also available unofficially for Android.
The second I get an ad on premium I cancel my subscription. Blocking ads on apple tv wasn’t easy, but Ill find a way
Get rid of the apple TV next if that doesn’t let you.
Frying pan (Google) meet the fire (Apple)
Sideload the uYou+Extras app on your iPhone and then just use AirPlay to watch youtube videos on apple TV. Gets around adverts 99% of the time. Sometimes one will slip through, just close the video and reopen it and it’ll not have an advert anymore.
Same not paying a dollar if they do that shit. I’d rather become a patron of the channels I like.
How is this a shitpost? Is it a fake screenshot?
YouTube is a shitpost.
What is the benefit of premium if you still have to watch ads?
YT music
The logo gives you a sense of pride and accomplishment
You can get that logo for free with youtube revanced
This reference will never get old tbh.
It’s PR nightmare, but also comedy gold. We all know what they say about gold.
Thanks for the gold, kind stranger?
Fr tho.
