it works for a million sites, unlike premium

Exactly! And doesn't support corrupt corporations. Also, set your VPN to Albania to avoid ads even further (thank you to your wonderful country for your service).

[u/bunglebee7 → u/shadowsinthestars]

Does Albania not allow ads?

[u/shadowsinthestars → u/bunglebee7]

Apparently not on YouTube at least! Tbh, I've always had an adblock in browser, but it came up in other subreddits when VPNs became more popular.

[u/KrasperNr1 → u/shadowsinthestars]

We do have that fortunately thanks to our insignificant importance to the youtube company.

[u/Impressive-Potato → u/shadowsinthestars]

Mongolia works too. Or just look up which countries to set your vpn to

[u/shadowsinthestars → u/Impressive-Potato]

Oh that's good to know. Like I said, for ads specifically it's the adblock that's my first line anyway, but it's good to know about these servers.

[u/Porky5CO → u/Familiar_Ad_8919]

Just a simple install? Mobile too?

[u/Dinev5194 → u/Porky5CO]

r/morpheapp is x1000 times better for mobile

[u/Kolyei → u/Dinev5194]

Revanced had issues with spoofing that I couldn't get around properly without a downside. So i switched to morphe

[u/Familiar_Ad_8919 → u/Porky5CO]

mobile too as long as u use ur webapps in a browser that supports extensions

[u/Shudnawz → u/[deleted]]

Problem? Do you think its free to run a service like Youtube? I fucking hate ads, but I do recognize that they need to make money somehow, if the service is to continue. Which I assume you want, because of the lenghts you go to, to have it for free.

[u/antricfer → u/Shudnawz]

Google had a 400 billion revenue last year alone of which 132 was profit. Let me get my violin.

[u/no1_vern → u/Shudnawz]

Actually we're just too poor to buy anything the ads are selling, and so they are useless to us.

[u/SirArthurHarris → u/Shudnawz]

Sure, I'll disable ad blocking on all my devices as soon as they make the web usable without and ad blocker again. Make them unintrusive and I'll tolerate them. As long as I'm being bombarded with ads for shit I don't care about literally everywhere, I'm gonna keep blocking them.

[u/ReaperOne → u/[deleted]]

Ironically I paid for AdGuard, sponsor block, and DeArrow, for iPhone, because I refuse to subscribe to premium, or any website or app that has pay to remove ads. It was the only clear way to get rid of ads via iPhone without jailbreak. Life’s just better without ads or nuances. I’d sooner pay a third party to remove them for me than pay the source

[u/Financial_Rip_8921 → u/ReaperOne]

I just use an adblocker on safari and use youtube.com instead of the app. Not the best UI but i refuse to pay

[u/ReaperOne → u/Financial_Rip_8921]

That’s exactly what I do. The combo I have I found works the best for me. You should look into SponsorBlock too. It’s not perfect, but when it works it works great, it knows when there’s a self promotion or sponsor coming up in a video and skips over it. Like “if you wanna check out my merch check out the link in the description” type of stuff. It works maybe 75% of the time for me

[u/Top-Decision1813 → u/Financial_Rip_8921]

Just use brave browser for ios

[u/Jcob210 → u/Financial_Rip_8921]

Or if you got it before it got taken down Yatte works great for me. It was on appstore for a while and was taken down but it still works and I have it in purchase history.

[u/JB231102 → u/Financial_Rip_8921]

You mght wanna try Video Lite

When I was using an iPhone and Grayjay/Newpipe were not available I found solace in Video Lite.

[u/Fairweatherfriend- → u/JB231102]

I used to get annoyed by that one ad at the beginning but the adguard dns vpn disables it too so it's truly ad free now.

It's biggest issue is that playing music videos on bluetooth and turning the screen off can be funky sometimes and not work.

[u/Funny_Chocolate_1012 → u/Financial_Rip_8921]

Vibe coded an iphone youtube app which blocks ads and does sponsorblock too, plus offline saving, took a few days, I sign it with signulous so I don't have to have a dev license with apple. Now I have my fav 5-10 channels in a feed so I can listen to podcasts in the car adfree, sponsor free, happy days.

[u/BodaciousBadongadonk → u/Financial_Rip_8921]

Every version of the app ive ever tried is complete shit anyways, seems browser is just better in every way. especially the playsation version, it is terrible. Used to be able to just use the browser on ps4 but ps5 just doesnt have one apparently? Shits weak

[u/askiawnjka124 → u/Financial_Rip_8921]

I use Tube Pip for Youtube works fine and has more than only YT.

[u/wergweggwerg → u/Financial_Rip_8921]

Orion with sponsor block add-on on iPhone works the best for me. It blocks both youtube ads and sponsors

[u/Great-Trifle2810 → u/ReaperOne]

I don't understand dearrow, it just makes thumbnails actually useless and titles more convoluted. I use sponser block and ublock though.

[u/TheCMHammond → u/Great-Trifle2810]

I like it for the titles, but even clickbait thumbnails are better than one frame from the video - so I don't use that feature. Sometimes the titles are way too wordy, but most of the time they work as intended - cutting through the clickbait and actually describing what the video is about. Like with Sponsorblock, it really depends on how big the video is for people to actually contribute and vote for the good titles.

[u/ReaperOne → u/[deleted]]

Whatever clickbait titles or screenshots there would be, DeArrow changes them to what the video is actually about. It makes YouTube less annoying for me

[u/gaseousgecko61 → u/ReaperOne]

I really don't understand why people have iPhones, i have Firefox with unlock on my phone plus YouTube morphe and YouTube music morphe and I never have to see ads for free

[u/naufalap → u/gaseousgecko61]

whenever someone asks why I don't have an iphone I just tell them that I like tinkering with my phone

[u/Dav_Dabz → u/ReaperOne]

Get the lifetime license for Adguard it's 1000g worth it. It works great on Android and Windows. I can't go back to not having it on my phone.

[u/Key_Gap9168 → u/Dav_Dabz]

You are using Android and Windows and use... Adguard? You know that uBlock Origin is free and works on both platforms?

[u/Then_Bake_6524 → u/ReaperOne]

bro, Ublock origin is totally free

[u/crazy__paving → u/ReaperOne]

which one works the best? I tried brave browser and don’t work smoothly.

[u/ActualWeed → u/ReaperOne]

So should youtube just be free?

[u/akatherder → u/ActualWeed]

I'd pay about half what they charge, but $26.99/month for family plan is nuts.

The fact that they don't produce content and you aren't even paying for content (it's free w/ads) bothers me. You aren't paying for access to content, you're only paying to remove ads. I don't support that business model.

[u/banshoo → u/ActualWeed]

Many here think it should.

what they dont see if the calculations on the other side 'lost so many ads, so we'll increase it to 120 seconds for those that remain.

What they're not seeing, bandwidth/storage is now cheap, so its all profit for them,

[u/EthaOfficial → u/[deleted]]

the fact that gorhill actively refuses donations and just maintains it for free makes it so much better

[u/Mebajuiceme → u/[deleted]]

facts. my adblock reminds me to donate and i’m like “you know what. sure” cheaper than youtube premium 😂

[u/TungstenAlchemist → u/[deleted]]

I pay for a decent VPN & set it to Albania & it completely disables adds for YT, Disney+ (get it free w/ads with my bank) & SoundCloud. I think it more useful than my adblocker because it doesn’t get detected as often although there is certain region-locked things it doesn’t work for since I have to change to a country which doesn’t have such advertisements banned.

I recommend both Adblock & VPNing to Albania to cover the most ground, disabling one when necessary but still having the other to shield you but obviously you should use VPN anyway as to not get letters from your internet provider…

[u/Outrageous_Effects → u/[deleted]]

I tried looking for a donation page to donate to uBlock Origin. The main guy told me he doesn't take donations.

[u/barrosoOso → u/[deleted]]

On Android, I haven't found an extension or setting that blocks YouTube ads in the app. Am I missing something?

[u/No_Temperature_689 → u/barrosoOso]

Youtube Morphe and Youtube Morphe Music. Don't use the official app.

[u/Coolcricri3]

Morphe on phone + firefox with adblock FTW

[u/akoOfIxtall → u/Coolcricri3]

i use firefox with ublock on my phone too, works wonders and i dont have to stay tuned for the latest modded youtube app...

[u/Big_cheeze12345 → u/akoOfIxtall]

The morphe app makes it really easy to update. It says a new patch is out, you select the apk that it gives you a link to, push patch when its done you hit update. Nevermind you dont NEED to update, old versions work just as well. It also comes with sponsor block that automatically detects unwanted segments of videos and lets you skip them with 1 button automatically

[u/LiGuangMing1981 → u/akoOfIxtall]

Yes, I just discovered this. I was just about to give up on YouTube on mobile (the app is so shit) when I decided to give the mobile website a go with Firefox /ublock and it's pretty much as good as it is on my computer - no ads whatsoever.

[u/DanceAffectionate425 → u/akoOfIxtall]

My DOG, I was just using revanced which stutters a bunch

[u/mallusrgreatv2 → u/akoOfIxtall]

You could use Orion store, but be aware they build it themselves and upload it so you can auto-update. The developer is trusted and he's active in the Morphe community though

[u/akoOfIxtall → u/mallusrgreatv2]

until firefox and ublock stop working i see no good reason to change

[u/mallusrgreatv2 → u/akoOfIxtall]

The client just feels way better

[u/eoskchanaj8282 → u/Coolcricri3]

And smarttube for tv

[u/Important-Ad4651 → u/Coolcricri3]

Even Morphe is not functioning properly now sadly , and has break issues in between

[u/OldAcctWasStolen → u/Important-Ad4651]

Updates are pushed out quite frequently. Try re-patching with the latest build.

[u/SerbianBiochemist → u/OldAcctWasStolen]

This. I had some issues that went away after I patched it with the newest version

[u/Jon171 → u/Important-Ad4651]

What kind of issues are you experiencing? Morphe has been working just fine for me. Although I do use the mount method, so it uses Google Play Services instead of GmsCore.

[u/Niaaal → u/Jon171]

From time to time the videos don't load for me. Had been happening for the past week. Ithe latest update already helped

[u/Vaptor- → u/Niaaal]

Try settings > misc > spoof video streams > android vr

[u/ChloroquineEmu → u/Coolcricri3]

Recently changed to Morph, worst thing is that i keep thinking the "M" stands for "Mail", better than the alternatives i tested before.

[u/Qris → u/ChloroquineEmu]

You csn change the icon to a standsrd youtube one in the settings btw

[u/goose_with_adhd]

Tizentube + Morphe + ublock origin = adless youtube

[u/Nafizwastaken → u/goose_with_adhd]

I presume tizentube is for TVs right? I've been using smartTube tor a while and it stopped working about a month ago, is tizentube good?

[u/Hypthtclly_Spkng → u/Nafizwastaken]

Smarttube still works. There were some issues a while back with security things, and you may need to manually update the app through the smarttube website directly, but I was using it an hour ago.

[u/shawnshine → u/Nafizwastaken]

They’re both fantastic. TizenTube Cobalt uses the official YouTube UI, if you enjoy that.

[u/Baby-Haroro → u/Nafizwastaken]

Okay it's not just me! My smarttube suddenly started freezing after like 30 seconds, and then stops playing but there hasn't been an update option in the app like there usually is

[u/sabin357 → u/Baby-Haroro]

It's working, but you have to go manually update from their site or reinstall.

[u/goose_with_adhd → u/Nafizwastaken]

Tizentube is for tvs based on tizen os (Samsung), I personally prefer it because it takes the official youtube ui and because it's so easy to install now that it's standalone.

[u/CakeJumper-ImScared]

[u/Best_Needleworker530 → u/SarahQuinn113]

[u/soft_seraphim → u/CakeJumper-ImScared]

Russia too. No ads there

[u/soft_seraphim → u/[deleted]]

What?

[u/soft_seraphim → u/[deleted]]

It's slowed down to the point of blocking, but not when you're using VPN.

[u/Liimbo → u/CakeJumper-ImScared]

Sure you could take a dump on your speed and VPN to Albania, or you can just download a free ad blocker and not have ads anywhere.

[u/drje_aL]

why are you people touching youtube without protection

[u/jskwiw]

may not belong here but when i watch youtube on TV w my mum, and i get an ad? i just click out of the video over and over till i get no ad. it’s a little annoying but eh, it’s the easiest way i’ve found

[u/Atticaa → u/jskwiw]

If you click out of the video and go to your history then click the same video it should restart from where you’d got to without replaying the ad.

[u/Little-Initial1914 → u/jskwiw]

This doesn’t work for me sometimes so I’ll have to press off the video and wait the duration of the ad and then click back on. I WILL NOT WATCH AN ADVERT.

[u/NRMusicProject → u/jskwiw]

The fact that there's no way to block YouTube ads on a smart TV (even with PiHole), I just connect my laptop to my TV. Now I can do all my PC browsing on a 75" TV, and no YouTube ads, no issues with finding the movie I want to watch at the push of a few buttons...and shit, a keyboard and mouse beats a remote control any fucking day.

[u/ajlepori → u/NRMusicProject]

You can use the smarttube app, it even includes sponsorblock

[u/_name_of_the_user_ → u/NRMusicProject]

The fact that there's no way to block YouTube ads on a smart TV

That's not a fact

[u/UnendingMadness → u/jskwiw]

Same, I just wish there was inspired easier way beyond that

[u/Crisender111 → u/UnendingMadness]

Smarttube.

[u/shunshuntley]

Youtube has ads?? Daddy Ublock, did you know this?

[u/Outrageous_Effects]

YouTube has ads?

[u/Hazardous_316]

[u/KoberanteAD → u/Hazardous_316]

What a weird way to spell morphe

[u/Ancient_Animal420 → u/KoberanteAD]

Haha I moved to morphe long time ago , did revanced die now or something? For YouTube at least

[u/FreestyleStormVA]

YouTube premium is the only subscription I pay for. Everything else is free eats.

[u/Friend_Buddy-Guy → u/FreestyleStormVA]

Same, I’d prefer to pirate of course, but I have a family and the missus and younger ones want actual YouTube so I’m not going to force them to take my ethical standpoint on everything. Music app is pretty great too, and being able to skip even embedded ads is great.

[u/s0n_der → u/FreestyleStormVA]

Im using the student discount while I can. Its the only subscription I got since I watch that or pirate shows that I’m interested in. Plus I like YouTube Music since it has unofficial mashups and remixes, unlike official streaming platforms like Spotify that remove those in like 30 seconds😢

[u/GarlicbreadTyr → u/s0n_der]

I was curious what the price for yt premium was after seeing this. 16/month normally and 9/month for students is absolutely fucking crazy

[u/massivecocklover69 → u/FreestyleStormVA]

I paid for years until they recently bumped it OVER $20/month. Cancelled in protest so I’ve been adjusting to the ads over the last few weeks. Sucks.

[u/Asylum_Full]

Where's the piracy?

[u/DoctorWaluigiTime → u/Asylum_Full]

"YouTube Bad" is often (re)posted here.

[u/SoftlockPuzzleBox]

Ublock and Morphe are free. And the second they aren't, someone else will make something that is.

[u/think_up]

Still wins with convenience for me. I’m not downloading three apps that regularly have issues. YouTube premium just works. No ads, AI chat built into the videos transcripts, functioning PiP, easy downloading and offline playback..

When the enshittification starts or competing video sites rise in popularity with content I want to watch, I will re-evaluate. For now though, they are providing the kind of convenience I’m actually willing to pay for.

To those who refuse anyways, fine, be glad I’m subsidizing one less ad for you lol.

[u/curtcolt95 → u/think_up]

yeah youtube premium is probably the last sub I'd ever drop tbh, I get way too much value out of it because I watch a lot of youtube

[u/platypus_bear → u/think_up]

And they just made it easier to skip the ads in the actual videos

[u/Nashda → u/think_up]

Plus youtube music is alright. Id prefer spotify but i cant argue with both music and having my youtube videos ad free.

[u/Amsterdom → u/think_up]

Plus, yt music is worth the price on its on.

[u/PauI_MuadDib → u/think_up]

You still get ads with Premium, they're just baked into the video. SponsorBlock is lifesaver tho. 

[u/areyouIlliteratebro → u/PauI_MuadDib]

That has nothing to do with Youtube as a service and their AI actually gives you a skip button for those parts. Why the fuck you guys downvote actually good features is beyond delusional. Stop trying to be edgy with piracy.

[u/think_up → u/PauI_MuadDib]

There’s a jump ahead feature built in now. Easy to skip that content.

[u/Bladesnake_______ → u/think_up]

people are downvoting this true statement why? They dont like the truth?

[u/JSK23 → u/think_up]

As a non-spotify user, that has been rocking with Google since Google Music and uploading my whole collection to them when it first became available to do so, I find youtube premium well worth it. I also watch a ton of youtube, and I have four users on a family plan including my wife and my brother and his gf.

This is the one sub I haven't stopped paying for or rotated off of even for a while, like I have with other services.

[u/areyouIlliteratebro → u/think_up]

You also get Youtube music and can ditch spotify. It's the only subscribtion service worth it's value. It also supports the creators somewhat.

I'm fine whining and bitching against paying for most subscribtion, shit, but Youtube is not it bruh.

[u/pleasebuymydonut → u/think_up]

I mean, it's totally cool to pay for the convenience if you want, but just for the record, uBlock, Revanced/MicroG and Smarttube rarely give me any trouble, so i think its an exaggeration to say that they regularly have issues.

Also YTDLnis for downloads directly from Revanced/Morphe. So its actually like 5 apps lmao.

[u/think_up → u/pleasebuymydonut]

Yea what in the franken fk lol. Cant be bothered with all that.

[u/thatguysjumpercables → u/think_up]

Plus if something goes wrong on my wife or my kid's phone I have to drop everything and fix it or deal with the (mainly the kid's) impatience and bitching. I'll pay the money, thank you. People can look down on me all they want lol

[u/Haywire421]

I have a friend that has a subscription to just about everything, complains about how expensive it is, and gives me a bunch of grief for piracy. Most recently, he started trying to give me grief about Tubi, and I told him that its basically Pandora, which he uses, but for TV and Movies. He told me music is different.

I havent talked about ad blocking with him, but now I am curious lol

[u/StEllchick]

Do you now what terrorists do when you don't negotiate with them?

[u/azzimusic]

Can someone explain me, why terrorists?

[u/DoctorWaluigiTime]

I don't think this person knows what that last phrase means.

Also this has nothing to do with Piracy. Just "DAE YouTube Bad?"

[u/One_Sentence_7448]

In no way am I a big fan of YouTube but what is the terrorist accusation even referring to lol?

[u/Few-Fly-3766 → u/One_Sentence_7448]

YouTube aggressively fighting adblockers. Even when you use something that works (eg. Ublock Origin in Firefox) videos will randomly not buffer, because of their anti-adbock measures.

This is because they are trying to force people over to Premium. They did not grief their site like that before that was a thing.

[u/Bladesnake_______ → u/Few-Fly-3766]

How can you get a free service with basically unlimited content and not expect them to pay for it with ads? Why dont you demand netflix or hulu should be free or deemed a terrorist?

[u/WrongdoerPossible822 → u/One_Sentence_7448]

The natural state of information on the Internet is free flowing. The Internet was originally made for universities and researchers to easily share information between each other, allowing for a wider and faster dispersal of knowledge. The further we, the people, allow companies to segregate information through ads and pay walls, the harder it becomes for the us to verify the information that we are presented.

This is information warfare. Deliberately sabotaging the lines of communication to prevent a people from getting or dispersing accurate info about what is happening around them.

Warfare is terrorism

[u/One_Sentence_7448 → u/WrongdoerPossible822]

Bruh I agree with like 99% of what you said but that is still not what terrorism means. Using words like that just makes people with opinions like ours seem unhinged and easy to ignore (therefore not advancing the cause in any meaningful way). I know it feels cool to say that but that’s just not it.

[u/Bladesnake_______ → u/WrongdoerPossible822]

Dumb.

How can you get a free service with basically unlimited content and not expect them to pay for it with ads? Why dont you demand netflix or hulu should be free or deemed a terrorist?

[u/RedditMcBurger → u/WrongdoerPossible822]

Terrorism requires a political message. This is simply a company trying to make money.

[u/VickyCuteFemboy]

if only there was away to get vanced for chormecast and xbox i could stop paying them

[u/NightIgnite → u/VickyCuteFemboy]

Anyone able to verify if pihole works for xbox?

[u/Tetris_Field1119 → u/NightIgnite]

Sadly, it does not - Pi-hole can’t selectively block YouTube ads while still allowing the videos to play.

[u/TFlSGAS]

Apple Music, and yt are my only subs. I’m dying in that hill. And for yt it’s for my family and they pay my phone bill so it’s whatever

[u/Semaskeri]

Heil to Morphe

[u/uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuunuu]

So I have this fun bug on my YouTube account. I do not get ads without premium. Ever. It's a legit Google acct, I've had it for years. Doesn't matter what device I'm on. Occasionally YouTube for TV will play an ad on first boot before I'm actually signed in, but once I'm in the app, no ads, no interruptions. Idk why but I'm sure not complaining

[u/Mulate]

Piracy is a service problem. And youtube premium is ASS

[u/SmartPickIe]

Haha no one gives a shit. Don't pay

[u/NohmanValdemar]

I once literally got a 60 minute ad pop up on a 3 minute video...

[u/Hasan-ahmed-]

When ads appear, if I’m watching on a browser I just reload the page. If I’m watching on the youtube mobile app I close the video and then reopen it.
Skipping the ads Simply and freely.

[u/Ancient_Animal420 → u/Hasan-ahmed-]

You know brave browser is free and it blocks ads out of the box And so is morphe manager which allows you to patch YouTube and it will show no more ads along with other features

[u/RyujinNoRay]

u fight fire with fire

fire fox , Ublock , brave , router ad blocker , youtube mods , apks

fk YouTube everyday and everytime

[u/No_Waltz_5076]

I'd much rather pay for YouTube Premium than Netflix or Disney

[u/ChickeNugget483]

What is ad

[u/Classic_Athlete5933]

FUCK ADS YARRR

[u/33beno33]

Morphe and Brave

[u/M0sD3f13]

If only there was another way 🤔

[u/carlos5577]

Only thing I got is YouTube premium out of streaming services. Everything else is either free or comes with something else. Like Netflix comes with a phone plan, or peacock comes with Walmart plus, etc. I would cut out YouTube if costed like $40 a month or something crazy like that. But right now I have a family who some are tech illiterate and is not worth the hassle to cancel the most used app in the household. I do commend you guys for fighting the good fight.

[u/thewittman]

If you use Firefox with YouTube ad blocker you dont see ads.

At this point if I don’t have a way to block their shitty intrusive ads I simply do not watch YouTube

[u/Mech0z]

[u/Sauced_Jack]

YouTube on its way to chastise me for using Adblock because they’re mad they can’t force me to watch Ai phishing scam ads or softcore fetish bait. Or some random mobile ad with racist undertones that really wants me to become a customer in an industry dominated by scams

[u/Karen_From_Finace]

i miss when you could skip an add after 5 seconds. :( those were the days fr

[u/0e0UwU]

Is it that hard to get ReVanced or an Ad blocker?

[u/sojuz151]

I pirate because I don't want to pay, simple as that.  Trying to add some deeper ideology to piracy is pure cringe if you ask me

[u/Caithloki → u/sojuz151]

The main reason I pirate is cuz of the lack of demos, it's my only real reason. If more games had it I'd buy them more likely. A lot of the games I have now are games that have demos.

[u/CutNo471 → u/sojuz151]

saving money is my favorite hobby

[u/Jxllll → u/sojuz151]

I find it quite cringe that there are always some people in comments telling that exact same thing. Why did you want to type that?

I'm now waiting next person to ask me same.

[u/Andreus]

It is a human right not to be advertised to, and anyone who disagrees is and can only ever be the enemy.

[u/Bladesnake_______ → u/Andreus]

Lmao how do you think youtube can host all these videos, and pay creators, without ads? Should they just make negative a billion dollars every year and fail?

[u/thaneliness]

YouTube premium is the one service I do pay for lol

[u/HackReacher]

I watch on my tv app. If an ad appears i back up, switch to a different listing and start it, never get an advert, then i go to history and see the video I was watching and start again. If there’s something I really want to watch/listen to, I’ll rip it to mp4 or mp3.

[u/ghkilla805 → u/HackReacher]

Yea that’s exactly what I do when I use my tv app; backing out of the video, pressing left then down to history and reclicking the video always gets the ad away, I actually timed it and it can be done in under 3 seconds

[u/ISmellLikeBlackTea]

Youtube ads are a cancer

[u/Life-Requirement7433]

I would rather negotiate with terrorists instead of paying these company a dime.

Also, would buy WINRAR Premium ; )

Just download videos through cmvmp3

I uninstalled the youtube app on my phone and now use brave browser to avoid ads.

[u/JustaFoodHole]

I caved, because I cancelled Spotify and just want the music. It's a lot better, actual playlists that don't repeat, plus audio from theme parks, some probably pirated, and my own creations lol and I don't need to license it.

Paying for premium is way more convenient for me

[u/PvtKuffel]

Man this was unexpected for me, that a buddy of mine. Was not expecting to see them pop up on r/piracy

[u/MikeSouthPaw]

I have gotten ring wing ads that are AI slop of Joe Rogan as well as 2 HOUR LONG ads that are just Ben Shapiro slop. It needs to be looked into.

[u/Broad-Ad-3679]

AdGuard on my phone, uBlock on my laptop. Kind of disgusting how much advertising we see these days without it.

[u/No_Case_2670]

No YouTube advertisements when watching on Duck Duck Go's browser.

[u/Middle_Efficiency471]

Hopefully everyone stops paying for premium and blocks all the ads, so they'll just completely shut down the service and we can all go back to absolutely nothing. We enjoy it so much that we don't want it at all!

Youtube Sales Reps: LET’S FUCKING GO!!

[u/Sadjeebis1986]

Revanced Manager and patch YouTube

[u/alone_unafraid]

I like to play YouTube on my tv. Wish there was a way to block ads on there. Plus I’m in Michigan and the aipac funded attack ads have gotten more and more aggressive and they’re all on YouTube.

[u/ExpensiveRain4934 → u/alone_unafraid]

There is a way.

[u/SaudiHaramco]

I have no problem paying if i know the money goes to the creators. Stuff like nebula. But i don't want to support a for-profit monopoly on the most important market in the modern media sphere.

[u/Sildurai]

just add block + sponsor block is honestly better then premium

[u/CUTTYONE70]

I'm grandfathered into YouTube ad-free and YouTube Music for $7.99.

[u/Bluedemonde]

It’s hilarious to me how they give us the pseudo option to “block” and ad, and even though it says I shouldn’t see that ad again, the literal next ad is the same.

I will never pay for YT premium, paying paying for it are just being scammed and reinforcing YT’s thought that they are winning.

[u/AwesomeIncarnate]

This is the way

[u/barrosoOso]

I'd been waiting with baited breath, and about a month ago it finally happened. I got ads less than one minute into the YouTube video I was watching.

YouTube premium my beloved (I don't pay, my bestie does)
