I don’t understand how anyone can put up with youtube without premium. Every time I visit a friends house I am shocked at the level of bullshit they are ok with. I’d pay a lot more than 10 bucks.
Youtube is my reminder on new browser installs to install Ublock Origin. And I saw this newest effort to block it once. Updated Ublock, restarted the browser and it was gone again.
I’d happily pay for premium as I use YouTube religiously. But it’s Google so fuck them, they already process my information in order to show me ads. I think that’s payment enough, so I’ll just find any free way possible to watch YouTube without ads.
A couple of five second ads doesn’t bother me at all.
I’m from a generation that had no pause or fast forward on the TV before the internet. Every fifteen minutes or so you’d have near enough five minutes of ads. YouTube ads are nothing by comparison.
$10 a month isn’t a huge amount, but it’s $120 saved by the end of the year that I’d rather spend on something else.
Exactly. Starting from the premise that these services deserve the revenue from ads is completely wrong. As advertising has grown, so has corporate greed in extracting more value from users while providing a worse service.

I’m from a generation that had state television where there were no ads at all. I liked it that way.

Me too, but using ublock for a while it’s easy and quick to become intolerant of ads.

Easy: Just use the right browser and adblocker, and you basically have premium, but without the ads they still throw at you.
Or just use an adblocker and save the $$
