Google confirms more ads on your paid YouTube Premium Lite soon
It is a well-known thing that browser adblockers often fail to play nicely with YouTube these days. However, even if you paid for Premium Lite, Google says it will soon push even more ads.
You're viewing a single thread.
Christ, premium light is still fucking 8 dollars a month and you don't even get rid of ads. The greed is fucking astounding.
I'll stick to an adblocker, dickheads.
I truly, truly don't get it.
Ublock Origin + Firefox still works.
Works just fine.
Been that way for over a decade.
Yes, if you're more privacy concerned (and there are good reasons to be) you can use some other browser, something like NewPipe, or Invidious...
But I just don't get why any normie, ever, goes for YT Premium...
Ublock Origin + Firefox
YouTube started detecting and complaining about that yesterday (for me).
It complained about it for me as well.
And then kept working.
I am currently crippled and basically just do PT, shitpost on lemmy, and watch youtube... all day long.
If it was gonna block me after 3 videos, it missed it by about 100.
Newpipe is all I have. I signed up for a couple creators patreon to support those I really like. Fuck Google. They are here for the investors bottom line not our shit. But people just want their shit and it perpetuates this behavior. My friend said he pays to support the creators he likes. He supports the giant corporation holding these creators ransom. Just send them money directly. Use new pipe or whatever. Quit supporting this shit and let the whole thing die until we realize there has to be a better way.
Why think of the consumer when you have practical monopoly on online video content distribution. If the creators are on youtube so will their audience and vice versa. Where will any of them go if you squeeze?
Firefox+uBlock Origin on the computer.
ReVanced on my Android phone.
SmartTubeNext on my Android TV.
I haven't seen a YouTube ad in years.
In case anyone is reading this and using an iPhone, Orion is the only iOS browser afaik to currently support uBlock Origin. I haven’t had a single ad since discovering that. Picture in Picture mode works too, as long as you go full screen with the video before swiping home. Hope this helps someone.
As of yesterday YouTube is blocking videos for me. Until that's solved, I'm just not watching YouTube. Not a big loss.
I've gotten some home page ads on revanced lately, but they'll surely be patched out soon again
This is the way!!
I even subscribed to youtube premium when it came bundled with music streaming as well. back then it was a good deal. They kept raising prices and making the end product worse. Now it just seems obnoxious.
