Probably the lower tier of premium that’s being tested in Germany.

Huh weird, the only reason to use Premium is to cut out the adverts.
“Would you like to buy Premium?” “Ooh, what do I get?” “YOU GET NOTHING! GOOD DAY SIR!”
Less ads I guess? Idk
Firefox with ad blocker? You are wasting your money.
My wife uses a TV to watch YouTube, My kid uses a phone, My other kid uses a tablet.
Saying just use ad block isn’t feasible for everyone.
On a TV use SmartTube. On QN Android device (phone or tablet) use LibreTube (or InnerTune for music)
And then you’re stuck constantly reminding every family member which app to use on which device when they come to you because they’re getting ads or something isn’t working right.
For a single power use that’s fine, for a family with kids, it’s nearly impossible without going crazy and killing them.
I took the YouTube app from the main screen and let only the smartube app so everyone is forced to use it. Worked
The stock YouTube app can be disabled, and they only have one choice… Works for my kids.
This. Remove/block options that allow ads and keep the ones that filter then.
i watch YouTube on my phone with ff+ubo
get youtube revanced for both phone and tablet at least
uBlock origin and Sponsorblock work for me on Firefox Android Beta.
And I don’t pay for Spotify or any other music service. Premium yt videos is just a bonus
It used to be free AND ad-free.
Sure but that’s obviously unsustainable
But something like $7 for premium without ads is absolutely sustainable. But, you know, line go up more.
Yeah the prices do keep creeping up… And they should have kept Premium Lite without YT Music
How long until that’s just made illegal?
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 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.
Same not paying a dollar if they do that shit. I’d rather become a patron of the channels I like.
What is the benefit of premium if you still have to watch ads?
Fr tho.
YT music
How is this a shitpost? Is it a fake screenshot?
YouTube is a shitpost.
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…
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.
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.
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.
Less is sometimes more honestly. Its likely you’ve got so much running that they’re fighting each other. See if you’ve got overlapping features and remove as many as possible while still keeping the same functionality.
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?
idk what browsers that is it sorry.
I have premium too once I saw an ad and complained and it turned out to be a bug. I even had engineers reach out with questions when they were fixing the issue.
Maybe that has happened here? They have announced any changes.
It’s probably a bug. And to excuse the devs at Youtube, this is the first and only Premium client.
Is it really a bug or is it just boiling the frog slowly?
Check if you still have premium?
That’s what the circled logo in the top left is for
I know, but maybe it’s related to:
If you haven’t “accepted” the new prices, maybe you get this half-assed Premium.
That’s why i never bought YouTube premium
Seeing ads in premium is ridiclous, For fuck sake!
“This is why I never bought YouTube premium”
Points out very recent issue with YouTube premium
Just keep jacking up the ad-free tier price level.
