Premium is an Adblock for YouTube so far. Not for long, though.
Yeah if Premium Lite is anything to go off,
I don’t mind paying for the service at a reasonable price. The US pricing is out of control.
But I have a VPN so I don’t pay that much. Sometimes YouTube kicked me off and I use another location.
But like why? IM TRYING TO PAY YOU, YOUTUBE. The next step is full Adblock and you get nothing.
Its like they don’t even want my money and would rather I just block the ads for free.
Wtf am I looking at
Tweet of someone saying “the best adblock for YouTube is a Premium sub” which has been photoshopped in a way to imply that the person who Tweeted has the occupation of “Slave”
Not photoshopped, a tweet reply I think
QRT or Quote Re-Tweet.
Haven’t they started rolling out ads in premium

Make sure you don’t fall for fake revanced sites, but everybody do check it out.
whats revanced
It takes the YouTube app file (.apk) that you download and modifies it to include or exclude certain features.
The premium that includes youtube music does not have ads yet. I’ve heard the cheaper one that doesn’t include music has ads, but I can’t confirm that.
Wait, really?
Yeh I’m pretty sure i saw an article talking about premium with “limited ads” to the search engines
Edit.

I use Vinegar on iOS. Has worked great
Yeah! It breaks on occasion, so clearly YT fights back, but it’s always fixed within 24hrs.
Theres also Yattee If you want a dedicated app
i’m in this picture kinda (i have yt premium for music streaming) 😔
I’m in this picture kinda (i have been castrated) 😔
I don’t have a phone except working one which doesn’t allow installation of any APKs, plus my wife also uses YT Music and YouTube family subscription
Because I use the YouTube app on Apple TV. It doesn’t have all the fancy stuff. Plus I want to kinda support the dozens of creators I watch without spending $120/month since they’d all be Patreon/Twitch.
A single month of patreon is gonna give them more money than watching all their videos with ads, you can just rotate
Paying the streaming company does not support the artist.
Donate a single dollar once to each of your favorite creators and you’re already supporting them more than by watching with YT Premium or watching ads. The creators get a tiny fraction of the ad & subscription revenue, while YouTube keeps most for themselves - that’s who you’re really supporting with premium
It’s not that I disagree with you here, but what percentage do you think a traditional production company gets out of the ad revenue a TV station pulls?
My father (or is it dad?) pays for YT Premium and our family uses it. I am honestly grateful for it. I mostly watch on a Smart TV from 2016, which means I can’t install any of those crazy craps people recommend. I’ve heard the ad situation is better in Brazil
You can depending on what OS your SmartTV runs.
SmartTube for Android TV & Fire TV
Clipious for Android TV and Fire TV
YouTube AdFree for WebOS (I havent used this one before, never had a WebOS device nor known anyone with one.)
and for any other device I’m sure you can just look up “(OS Name Here) Ad-free youtube client” and find results
I pay for YouTube Premium because I use uBlock origin and Sponsor Block.
I still want to support the creators I watch without the need to Patreon any single one.
If you want to support the creators, then donating is pretty much the only option.
Every year YouTube pays the creators less and demonitizes more videos for no reason. Almost nothing from YouTube Premium is going to creators. You’re basically supporting YouTube and nobody else.
while I agree with you, there are almost no ways to pay less than a dollar a month to a creator
Ko-fi? Pay one time?
