The only time I've had an ad on YouTube with premium(on their site) is when I went in to invisible mode.
In my opinion it's absolutely stupid that invisible mode has the capability of detecting that you have an account because it skips the age verification blocker on content-sensitive videos, but it gives ads to people with premium. It's obviously able to see that you have a YouTube account so therefore it should be able to just do the next step of saying okay does this account have premium. The only thing people are asking for was it to not log the videos they're watching but they had to make it some Next Generation NASA level secret hidden profile shit that doesn't actually do anything.
Also it really bugs me that they've added ads for YouTube and beds on discord. If I have my YouTube account linked to my Discord account I should not receive ads on the in bed. It should be able to see my YouTube account via electrons cookie system and be able to link it to an account that has premium.
If I'm paying monthly for a service without ads and I see a single (1) advertisement, I should at least get a month of free subscription because the other party is in breach of contract.
Fucking called it
Probably the lower tier of premium that’s being tested in Germany.

Ugh, you didn't even pay for Premium Plus?
Bloody peasant...
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.
YouTube ads cost about $0.026 (two and a half cents) per 30 seconds of viewing. This is called cpv.
It's not fair that ss a viewer I'm not able to bid on my own to show myself an empty ad slot. I'm looking at the price of premium and it definitely seems like more revenue for YouTube than I'd give them from ads.
For everyone on Android, you can just patch the youtube app using ReVanced, which will remove ads, add sponsorblock, allow you to hide shorts and the "People also watched" sections. It can be pretty tricky to patch if you don't know what you're doing so feel free to tell me if you run into any issues.
If you don't care about the algorithm and your feed, you can get the third-party client NewPipe, it's FOSS
but sometimes crashes while reading some videosIt does not seem to crash anymore, so good thing!Pick one!
lol here we are, just after a few weeks when people were defending how yt premium was the best subscription plan ever on Lemmy. people deserve to be scammed like this tbh
A few years ago I got this experience on mobile and posted about it on r/assholedesign, but it was autoremoved as a banned repost even though I didn't see anything like it. Yet another ban happy subreddit, I'm glad to be out of that place. This is truly awful though, and why I'm happy to use revanced.
Those are some preem ads, choom.
These ads are preem, choom
Just keep jacking up the ad-free tier price level.

How much per ad man? I'm jealous 😀. I need my Downy and Toilet paper ads man. Maybe we could record the ads for prosperity and share them?
