I've also notice a huge push for youtube premium on mobile. It used to be a once a week thing. Now almost every time I open the app I'm greeted by the popup asking me to upgrade.
- dabeeeenster 6y agoI find this behaviour by Google really fucking annoying. Just leave me alone after I have said no 15 times in the last week.
- dingaling 6y agoWould you prefer that they just put up a modal banner saying 'subscription required'?
- tonyedgecombe 6y agoI would.
- dabeeeenster 6y agoYes 100%. At least that doesnt require a tap
- yummypaint 6y agoMost other companies would have deniability about doing it on purpose, but google probably keeps track of this stuff and runs A/B testing with it etc..
- a2tech 6y agoThe constant unskippable ads in the Youtube app meant I jettisoned the app on my mobile devices and just watch Youtube via the browser (even though they make it a terrible experience) because my ad blocker works in the browser.
- tomjen3 6y agoI used to do that, but my phone now has youtube vanced - it can even play stuff in the background.
- bebna 6y agoif you're using android, check out redtube. I use Firefox to browse and with long click and open in app to let redtube handle it. it also is nice to have the option of watching the vid as popup and keep browsing around on YouTube
