I don’t understand why people don’t pay for YouTube premium. Best streaming service I pay for. No ad blockers required. When I watch YouTube at someone else’s house the ads drive me nuts.
(a) because it’s too expensive, and (b) it didn’t take a lot of DDGing to find “why am I still getting ads with YT Premium” and it turns out there are a bunch of exceptions that the YTP page doesn’t tell you about.
I’ve been having an excellent experience with premium as well. I like knowing that I’m directly materially contributing to the people I watch. The only problem I have with YouTube premium lately is that it keeps trying to suggest fucking 8 hours long music streams to my TV and seems as though it’s REFUSING to learn that I don’t want to see that shit unless I’m deliberately searching for it. Get that shit the FUCK outta my feed. Otherwise, it’s the way YouTube was meant to be used.
If I had my way though, I’d nuke YouTube’s ad system from orbit and replace it with this: for ads, NO VIDEO, NO SOUND, ONLY A SLIDE SHOW, CONTAINING ONLY TEXT. 15 Slides or 15 Seconds, MAXIMUM, whichever runs out first. If the user clicks anywhere but the product link, it advances the slide or closes the ad. PERIOD.
it’s too expensive to begin with. 14$/month ? Netflix is more expensive to run and is cheaper. I would be fine paying 5€/month tho.
at this point YouTube made a point I was not an acceptable client for them (5s delay because I’m not using the company mandated browser) so I’m not supporting that.
You want my money Google? You already did. I bought a fucking pixel 8 pro because it’s a goddamn amazing phone. Do the same with YouTube.

If it was less expensive and provided some privacy i would probably happily pay for it.
