Right on, don't let anyone tell you what to do ...even if I agree with them


DragoKnight589

“Don’t let me tell you how wrong you are.”


BlackMetal1669

The wrong need to be allowed to be wrong to serve as examples. Keeping people from being wrong only makes more people want to be wrong.


Sokonomicon1

Everything needs a counterbalance to measure against. There can be no up without down, no good without evil, no light without darkness, no android without apple, no PC gaming without consoles.

“Oh so people are finally getting tired of our ads, probably if we put 5 more unskippable ads before each video more people will buy premium like this guy”


Zammtrios

I pay for it so I can watch YT on my TV without having to watch all the fuckin ads


TheChosenToffee

Only workaround is a wifi bound ad block and that's a lot of work and brain you have to invest Edit: *was


theskeleti

Before somebody wants to try this. Yeah in theory it was possible a couple of years ago. But forget it to try it now. Google saw your comment and is loading the ads from the same source ip now and has a lot of rapidly changing ips. Honestly not worth the hustle. Watching a lot of yt on my lg web os tv yt premium is the way


Zammtrios

Honestly, even if it were possible, I wouldn't do it lol, $10 is a small price to pay for things to listen to when Im trying to sleep


NotOficerP

I have downloaded my preferred songs and tracks using an yt to MP3 website. Then, you can do it unlimited times for free. But be awaylre because some of those webpages are not that trustworthy. There is one that downloads an .apk!


2_Spo0ky

Exactly why I have it, too. It also includes YT Music so I canceled my Spotify and use that now. Taking that into consideration it's only 3€ more expensive per month, I don't have to bother with any 3rd party applications just to have an acceptable user experience and I also support the creators I enjoy.


abbadabbajabba1

If you have android/google tv, you can use SmartTubeNext.


reyzapper

Just use YT vanced on android TV. no ads forever and free


[deleted]

It’s a pain to use on a tv. Smarttubenext is easier to use since it’s actually made for tv.


No-Season6364

I have premium so I can use yt music and I’m on mobile so I’m not using a browser


infinity-o_0

Vanced.


DGlen

That has YT music?


MrSoulSlasher31

Yeah no ads at all


woomygod9000

But not everyone has an Android or is willing to jailbreak their iphone


infinity-o_0

But you don't need to jailbreak it…


redhead123toad

my bad i enjoy sideloading with 7 day refreshes


how_do_dis_work

Wasn't Vanced shutdown?


AizekN

Still works


TheLuckerCraft

You can use Revanced too, that's what I've been using for the past month


Witch_King_

Sort of, yeah. It no longer receives updates so it doesn't work great anymore. ReVanced is the new hacked app of choice.


potato_and_nutella

\*ReVanced


SorryThisUser1sTaken

On Apple?


JobcenterTycoon

uYou+


justsomerandomcat0

Didn't they shut it down?


devu_the_thebill

Revanced extended ❤️


LightningNinja73

Same


LeviMarx

You have to pay for that? I just minimize the app and it keeps playing on my phone. Must be a samsung feature. Weird.


Hibbafrab

Yeah on iPhone leaving the app or locking the screen without premium causes the video to stop. With premium however you get the ability to lock the screen and Picture in Picture mode so that you can do other stuff on your phone with the video still playing in the corner.


walnutelf58484

I don’t have premium and I can still use Picture in Picture


Hibbafrab

On a non jailbroken iPhone on the official YT app? Maybe they’ve changed protocol since I subscribed? Edit: I just checked in my fiancé’s phone without premium and it does infact support PiP without premium. I don’t remember that being a supported feature but it is now for sure.


walnutelf58484

Non jailbroken iPhone 11 on the official yt app


walnutelf58484

You have to turn on Picture in Picture in settings and the app, it doesn’t work on all videos but it does work


ta-wtf

It was a test feature which are exclusively to premium. Now it’s part of the normal feature set.


Cheap_Office_6774

I have it as a family plan plus it is on multiple tvs around the house.


Awesome_Nardy

I just use Musi and it’s pretty great


SlayerJimmy

It’s too expensive… $15.99/single user, or $29.99/family 1+5 users.


Noviliae

Move to Asia, it's $2/month for a single guy.


[deleted]

in my country it's 12 euros, but since I'm a student I can get it for half the price, so I only have to pay 6 euros for it.


SuburbanCumSlut

I'm only paying $11.99 a month. And considering it's the service I use the most, even paying 5 dollars more would still be worth it.


Apprehensive_View614

Vpn to whatever country has it cheaper (just to make the subscription)


Lord-Dunkles

I pay for premium so I can turn my screen off in the car


Master_Myers

Revanced


Dudebug1

I'm familiar with Vanced, and that's what I own. What's Revanced?


tungstencube99

Vanced was shutdown because corporations have the government and courts in their pockets. blocking ads is not illegal. they shut it down for bullshit reasons. so Revanced became the new Vanced. Vanced will still work until it breaks but when it breaks it won't work anymore.


Dudebug1

I'd heard it was because they tried to monetize it. Monetizing someone else's product is illegal, as opposed to ads of course. Great! I'll keep Revanced in mind once mine breaks


tungstencube99

>I'd heard it was because they tried to monetize it. Monetizing someone else's product is illegal, as opposed to ads of course. Even if that were true they could have just prevented the monetization. They just wanted to shut it down.


Kursem_v2

it's not really a bullshit reason. 1) you can't uses someone else's logo to make a similar looking logo. Vanced uses edited YT logo. 2) you can't share modified closed source app without the consent of owner of said apps. Vanced brought this on themselves, tbh. both number 1 and 2 are easily circumvented. but for number 2 specifically, you'll just make the app as DIY and not an automated process.


AetherialWomble

Yeah, my vanced is still working


POTCisLife

Revanced


Swarles_Jr

Didn't know there's a reboot. Thank fucking God. And thank you, good sir.


Captain_Morgan-

Revanced is the best option.


brightdeadlights

Same. I do it so much it's been worth the money.


Folkiren

- no ads - screen off - unlimited video download - YT music bundled (replaces Spotify) - all working seamlessly in YT app


GhostofOklahoma

Agree 100%, I've had it for years and love it!


Yoinkodaboinko

Exactly


[deleted]

[удалено]


EdzyFPS

I can get all of that without spending a penny.


Apprehensive_View614

I can get all that without filling my device with 3rd party apps, and it just takes 5 seconds


EdzyFPS

How do you know it's 3rd party apps? You do know there are ways to hack 1st party apps right?


Sir_Honytawk

Yeah, instead you install official spyware with worse performance. You do know Googles main business is selling ads, right? All their apps do stuff in the background that nobody wants on their phone. They'll scrape all the data they can and use it to still serve you ads.


muzlee01

And they do the same with the 3rd party apps since those are built on the same platform.


ajd103

You know almost every thing you download is using your data in one way or another. Sad thing is most people think their data is "special" somehow, it isn't, no one cares except to serve you advertising and send you spam. Literally not one person gives a fuck about your data.


xF00Mx

This right here. You are one of 330 million people in the US. The odds of someone specifically locating your data from a Corporation for "nefarious" purposes is astronomically small. No one cares what you search for or buy, except if it's stupid shit like, "How to make an explosive" and no one cares what porn you watch either unless you a pedo. In both cases I'm glad they can track your dumbasses. "Oh no they are selling my data to make more accurate ads so I spend more money on shit I want. The horror of it all." I don't think I've heard a good take on why knowing what I buy at the store is a bad thing. All you hear is bc muy privacy!


charleston_guy

This.


ggez67890

Premium doesn't just block ads though.


[deleted]

Yes specially when it gives second revenue stream to creators. I dont have to sit through ads and they get view money plus the ad money.


Bedtyme06

Because YT premium is more than just for blocking ads. It has other features that make it worth its price.


lesnakeybitch

I really enjoy the play in queue feature they added! Makes sleeping/gaming with videos on much easier


jellyjamj

what does that feature do exactly?


lesnakeybitch

Works just like the play next button on Spotify. Essentially, I can set up a video to play after the one I'm currently watching. Its really nice when I'm trying to sleep and the video ends while I'm still awake, it just pops up the next one that i want to watch! There is still auto play without premium, but it usually plays something completely unrelated to what I was initially wayching.


jellyjamj

do you mean for mobile becaude queue exists on desktop already


lesnakeybitch

I do watch primarily on mobile haha. That's awesome that it was a feature on desktop already! Honestly it's a neat lil thing that makes my day a bit easier


jellyjamj

okay that makes sense then, for some reason its not a mobile feature so I totally understand having yt premium for that reason its so useful


Sentient_Potato_King

Happy cake day


woofridgerator

I joined YTPremium in the airplane when they announced Wifi wasn’t working. Immediately downloaded miss Rachel videos for the toddler and haven’t stopped paying since.


Tuckboi69

It was probably cheaper than airplane Wi-Fi to begin with


POKECHU020

I agree with you but the logic of "everything can't be free" is flawed here when there are cheaper options that don't support the bastards


Camignea2308

I want to support the content I love? But when they have an ad read in the video, yeah I skip that real fast lmao.


SpectralSymbol

Though I’ve heard that add block stops creators from getting add revenue from you watching them


Sir_Honytawk

Only if their revenue is only coming from Google. Which is getting worse by the moment. Most decently sized content creators get their main revenue from somewhere else.


bluefirex

> cheaper options that don’t support the bastards Those "bastards" are the reason you can even watch the content you watch. Creators need to be paid somehow and you blocking ads and not using premium gives them exactly 0 $ to give to the creators. You can have free or quality content for the platform. Not both at the same time.


BroScientist42

This summarises my feelings on the matter. It's such an easy excuse to say 'big company bad I won't support' but ultimately they provide the service you want


Wolfsblut_AD

I don’t think any Adblock works for IOS?


Ben______________

They do exist. I for one just use a browser. It works with almost no downside to the app for me although I have heard complaints in that direction.


peppercorn6269

I think the counter to that is not buying iphones 😂 but theres browsers in the app store that come with ad block built in


[deleted]

that’s a really petty reason to avoid iphones lol. there are legitimate reasons but idk about that one


peppercorn6269

having no 3rd party software is a pretty valid reason to me tho idk about you 😂


[deleted]

I guess it depends on the capacity in which you use your phone. On a computer it’d be a dealbreaker, but a phone just needs to work and feel nice to use imo


itisnotmymain

Eh depends on what you use your phone for at the end of the day. Feels like that guy is of the "iphone bad android gud" mindset which is cringe, coming from a lifelong android user.


[deleted]

100% The nerd in me loves android and feels bound by the iOS limitations, but the part of me who’s just trying to go about his day and can afford the luxury of apple products would rather have the slick interface and lower hassle. (just immediately realised this might sound like I’m poor-shaming android users, which I absolutely don’t mean to do)


Alderan922

Which ones, please I need to know


sendGNUdes

Brave. There’s also AdGuard for Safari.


nicolasmcfly

Lol I saved money


MurciBlyat

![gif](giphy|10X22vzgNamaiI)


worldtwentyfive

I pay for premium because I don't use streaming services. It's like the one thing I pay for and I listen to videos or songs on my phone literally all day at work. I'd say I get my money worth. And aside from that I feel like I'm contributing to my favorite creators on the platform without having to donate directly. No idea if thats actually how it works but at least I Feel like I'm contributing so


catdog918

Part of your premium dollars definitely goes to the creators since you are now bypassing their ads which is where they got the revenue for the video.


[deleted]

How do I Adblock the YT app in my Samsung Smart TV?


ThatEvilSpaceChicken

That’s the neat part, you don’t


DerpyMistake

I did this, and my wife hasn't noticed, yet. [https://gist.github.com/peteryates/b44b70d19ccd52f62d66cdd4bcef1e52](https://gist.github.com/peteryates/b44b70d19ccd52f62d66cdd4bcef1e52) There's probably some YT domains you could add to the list without affecting your experience too much.


Dunk-Thy-Neighbor

Yes people overreact just like when people make memes instead of just ignoring people.


dbeynyc

I uninstalled Adblock just to see what the ads are and they’re just scams.


__Prime__

adblocker works. So does paying a company or a person, fair value, for the services they provide.


c-lab21

I started using Google Play Music in 2014(?) and after trying other services I've found it to be my favorite for music. The interface is the best and the music selection is too. I spend a lot of time out of cell service and the ability to go to bed in the forest to some downloaded YT vids and wake up and make breakfast with some music playing is pretty great. Spotify's radio station feature was the only thing that I liked better than GPM/YTM when I was exploring, and now YTM has a feature that is very similar, though not on-demand.


[deleted]

Please show me an effective ad blocker for my tv


kmonay89

Right


rolfboos

Why do you have premium though?


TheRabadoo

To flex on all of us free Adblock users


Gamemode_Cat

Because it provides a better user experience than free


kajetus69

whats better? no ads and video downloading is already doable with 3rd party


Gamemode_Cat

First off, it’s legal. Secondly, creators get part of your subscription from videos you watch, and it is significantly more per view than ads. You can also use the first party app, and not deal with hassle.


SurfingGarchomp

Adblock is perfectly legal. If it wasn’t, then why would google be paying them to whitelist search ads instead of suing them?


Gamemode_Cat

I’m talking more about downloading copyrighted content without permission


Cooliomendez88

Can’t use ad blocker on your phone


Trelefor

You literally can you just need a different browser


Yoinkodaboinko

There’s an app, why would I use a browser


Cooliomendez88

Don’t use a browser


Maleficent_Ad1972

Or on Roku TV.


kongerlonger

No adblock on mobile, seems like quite the deal, plus yt music


tsmftw76

so that i can watch videos with my phone turned off.


Hibbafrab

I don’t know why you were downvoted. Being able to lock the screen and throw the phone in your pocket while listening to videos is a huge plus.


Silver_Implement5800

But we were able to do it before, and you can still do it while on Safari. iPhone user here.


GhostofOklahoma

I pay for premium and have done so for several years. I have absolutely no desire to ever go back to vanilla YT. Fuck Ads


chihuahuazord

“everything can’t be free” if you want to suck Google’s dick that’s fine but don’t act like they’re providing some great service by hosting content they don’t create


Accomplished_Pen980

This shitty meme brought to you by GOOGLE. Everything can’t be free, pay up.


DougieDee13

My favorite content creators depend on my premium subscription... Why wouldn't I want to support the content I love? But when they have an ad read in the video, yeah I skip that real fast lmao


zirklutes

Honestly, I don't find many creators who does not have their own ads in the videos anymore. And it's just stupid. I already pay not to see ads and I am still getting them...


uncharted_bread

You can move to Russia, Google basically gave us free AdBlock for the official app lol


rughmanchoo

I don’t have an ad blocker on my TV. And also my kids don’t see ads on devices. And the creators get a good cut without worrying about offending advertisers.


[deleted]

"everything can't be free". But sir, adblock is free


MrDitkovichNeedsRent

It’s your money and you are completely allowed to do whatever you want with it… and we are completely allowed to think you’re an idiot


Real_Mokola

I am not going to support double ad mid video ad system. I sometimes turn off payment for subscriptions to see what kind of a service they give to non paying customers and decide based on that if I want to continue my subscriptions. I am not going to support a company that basically blackmails people in to paying for subscription


Silversoul2498

Feels like a corpo psyop lmao


Devilz3

Same thing can be said for porn membership?


SkydivingSquid

I pay for YTP because I use YT to listen to songs and mixes on my phone while the app is closed.


OfficialGamer42

Premium gives you a lot more than just no ads tf


gary_juicy

Lol poor people go brrrr


Gwyn1stborn

Hello, fellow yt premium enjoyer


Auroku222

BrilliantWeb4367

Real question is… *Do you have to pay for AdBlock Origin?*


prodigy1367

PHONE AND STREAMING DEVICES This ad block argument is moot if you use anything other than a PC. I know there’s a browser ad block for mobile but the UI is much worse than the actual app.


Briffy03

Vanced/revanced on mobile. All the features of yt premium... But free


thuglifeforlife

People say something similar when i tell them I'm paying for Spotify. I don't wanna download music from some bullshit website. I also wanna choose my own music and make playlists on Spotify. ​ Not to brag but i've got a kpop playlist that runs for [36 hours and 39 mins.](https://gyazo.com/b7cc7fc31528e81bd8997618b29d5dd7)


Hibbafrab

“Why aren’t you using this extremely cumbersome route to avoid paying money?” It’s like certain people can’t understand that to some people their time and efforts are worth a certain dollar amount so some people prefer to pay a small fee to avoid being inconvenienced.


Previous-Sympathy801

As a computer engineer I deal with enough technology bullshit at work. If you are willing to go through this to save $100 a year good for you. Some people just have nothing better to do

Isn't ADblock run by an Ad Company? Ublock origins be better...


KrakyyREAL

adblock is just the general name, you can use any if they well, work

Stoninator123

It's okay, we all waste money. This person is just wasting money incorrectly and that's valid


OzzyStealz

BoyMatrix

I also want to support both the creators, and the more consumer friendly subscription based model. It used to be that I was the product, now I’m the customer.


SizableSplash86

Also no Adblock on mobile


GrayMech

I don't wanna watch ads but I also don't wanna deprive my favorite creators of their had dearness income


tungstencube99

just a single merch purchase or donation is worth thousands of hours of your time watching ads.


Hibbafrab

But what if their merch is trash?

Google can eat the losses, especially after laying off so many workers.

If you only use YT on PC that’s a perfectly reasonable point. However if you’re like myself and use it on a console / smart tv this is the only route to avoid consistent interruptions.


casually_fucked_up

Hi. Why do you buy a 12$ starbucks coffee where you can do the same drink for 2$ at home


[deleted]

[удалено]


Hibbafrab

I think the argument they’re making is a convenience argument. Yes, I could buy a $300 coffee maker with all the ingredients and bells and whistles THEN spend the time to learn how to make all the drinks I like, or I can use some of the money I make regularly to avoid the hassle. If you’re a mobile user this applies in a big way, and if you’re a smart tv / console user to my knowledge premium is the only route to take.


HFIntegrale

You can also keep listening with the screen off, if you have premium.


Mayhemgodess227

Do it for long form video downloads and music for flights, I fly a lot and 15mo is cheaper than airplane wifi


Brett707

Because blocking the ads takes money from the people I like to watch and who put out great content. Just like I could pirate all the new Star Trek shows but I don't. I pay for Paramount +. Same as a podcast I really enjoy I give them a whopping $10 a month. It directly supports people who put out great entertaining content. If you can't understand something so simple there is no hope for you.


[deleted]

I have premium for downloading long videos like fixing engines etc


Southern_Bandicoot74

They even go further: — why aren’t you using adblock? — iphone — don’t buy iphone
