NewPipe from Android saves me from this
Ublock Origins on desktop browsers. Or Freetube.
That’s wild. I would never sit through that. I’ve been a YouTube premium sub for years because it’s bundled with music. Never knew it was this bad
Careful, lots of people take issue with paying for a service these days. /s but only kinda
YT premium has been by far the most worth it subscription for me. I spend a frankly unhealthy amount of YT, even have it running in the background while not watching actively, and I listen to YT music for hours every day. Really easy value sell for me.
But somehow people expect YT to host and deliver literal exabytes of data for free.
These kind of unsolicited reports from users prove a really important point, and one that Spez and company would prefer to ignore. If you have good enough content people will pay for an ad-free experience.
When I canceled my Spotify subscription, I did the same. I get music and video w/o ads
Christ I love the Revanced project
There’s a Revanced? I’ve been clinging on to Vanced hoping YouTube API will not change anytime soon
Yes, instead of an app you install, you patch the app yourself using a separate app. Kinda like xmanager if you’ve used that before. I’d point you to their official reddit, but… yknow… Here’s their official Discord https://discord.gg/revanced
Dude I had vanced and it died after YouTube got them to stop updating. You’re saying it’s still going!?
As far as I know, not the same team, at least officially. Unlike vanced, they don’t provide the app themselves, you have to build it yourself, but that isn’t too hard. Your given the patches and the app that writes them patches to a stock version of YouTube downloaded on APKMirror, all that plus vanced MicroG and you got Revanced
Don’t forget SmartTube for Android TV!
Oh no! Anyway…
continues using an AdBlocker
Not when they disable ad blockers like twitch
This aged as expected 😓
I have YouTube ad free for a while now. Quite expensive, but I also watch it a lot, so it makes sense.
I bit on the 3 free months offer awhile back, and they got me. I just couldn’t go back to the ads. $11.99/mo feels expensive, but like you I watch it all the time.
Do you guys not use AdBlock and revanced?
You can’t on many devices.
Proper source or GTFO, please
They really want to tv-ify web content huh? People left TV because they were sick of ads.
I only have YouTube premium because I do not want a TV license and one is definitely cheaper than the other but the fuck man.
Cable TV did not originally have ads. That was part of the reason that people started paying for it.
What you are seeing is the natural cycle of content and greed.
This is why we use Piped and Newpipe/Libretube.
reddit and youtube really shouting out how much companies don’t give two farts about its users. there’s so much wholesome and educational content on youtube but, dogs forbid, youtube make $5 fewer in revenue than yesterday 🙄 i can’t wait for grassroots decentralization of the internet, including video
“i can’t wait for grassroots decentralization of the internet, including video” 🍻
PeerTube needs more traction.
R.I.P Invidious. Good ol’ enshittification.
Don’t forget, on a “free” platform, you are the product.
You’re the product on paid platforms, too.
Can someone create frontend app for TizenTv? I feel like it will be annoying as fck or i’ll just stop using yt on tv for good.
Must be the season of boycott, youtube about to do a reddit moment.

They’re trying everything to get us to buy YT premium. At what point do they start becoming full-on commercials? Lol
