The moment I get ads in my Youtube Premium, it's done with Youtube Premium, and done with Youtube.

The guy who took this screenshot and posted it to Reddit likely has Premium Lite, which still shows ads on music videos. The title of the video is probably cut out to hide it.

Alright where are all the YouTube premium apologetics that keep appearing everytime someone discusses any sort of Ad-blocker?! What do you guys have to say now?!

Everyone knows you need to pay for YouTube Premium-Pro-Plus if you don't want to see ads. Only 69.99 per month week.

Premium+ coming in 2026 for truly ad-free experience. Premium++ coming in 2028 for truly truly ad-free experience. Premium+++ coming in 2030 for truly truly truly ad-free experience.

I don't think I specifically posted about it on lemmy but yeah, I also concluded youtube would be going further 'pay to win' around this time 2 years ago.

Twitch will keep getting more and more monetized / ad heavy as well, until it just gets shutdown.

I'll be amazed if it still exists by the end of 2026.

I heard tell from a Gen Xer who said cable TV used to not have ads.

Fuckingcapitalists

A story in three parts: get an adblocker, problem solved

What the heck is this "Youtube Premium"?

All I ever know was uBlock Origin.

🏴‍☠️

At what point do content creators stop creating content for this?

Me on my home lab Invidious instance: What are “ads”?

People who use premium should organize to vow to publicly shame and boycott any company putting adds in their premium plan.

Like anti commercials.

Yeah, anyone who didn't see this coming hasn't been paying attention.

Fun thing, I don't want to get YouTube Premium because YouTube has a huge bunch of bugs and glitches and crap UI design and since they're the only service in the niche there's been no indication they'll ever fix their shit.

I didn't care about YouTube Music, so losing ads on stock YouTube apps was literally the only reason I was even considering getting Premium.

But if it doesn't even do the one job...?

Is it a slow rollout or a experimental update thing? I don't have it on mine.

They are diversifying their plans to enhance user experience or some bullshit

Part 1: All of history from corporations becoming a thing to present day.

Part 2: The results of heartless corporate policy for the foreseeable future.

They even said it was a mistake when someone said they got ads before and it went viral. Google is evil.

A year before they start serving ads then a year later to the month they start serving ads. Either that's a lucky guess which happens or he's got insider info lol
