- withinboredom 6y agoI don’t know about where you live, it’s the most expensive streaming platform here. Not worth the money for occasional watching of things people share at work. Also seeing more unskippable ads lately and it’s incredibly annoying.
- jdofaz 6y agoditto, if it won't let me skip the ad I usually just close it now
- JiNCMG 6y agoCan't skip the first ad depending on the length of the video you will get 2 in the middle and then at 30-40 secs left. It's made YouTube unwatchable for most stuff. Rick Beato did a video talking about music license holders injecting more ads into his videos because he does stuff like Top 20 Rock Drummers of All Time. That requires him playing others' songs so they can inject more ads to earn from that video instead of taking it down.
- alasdair_ 6y agoYoutube has two offerings: an ad-free version of youtube, and a version that shows a whole bunch of live local (and national) tv channels. The latter is close to 5X the cost of the former and is, I suspect, what you are thinking of.
- withinboredom 6y agoIt’s almost €20 a month for “premium” and YouTube TV isn’t available in my locale.
- alasdair_ 6y agoWow. I pay $12 USD. 20 Euro is too kuch.
- zimpenfish 6y agoUK is £17.99/month (which is ~€19/month) for Premium (Netflix is £11.99/month for comparison) - YouTube TV not available.
- matheusmoreira 6y agoPeople should simply install uBlock Origin instead.
- cookie_monsta 6y agoThat's not how you avoid being the product
- anoncake 6y ago1. That's giving in to extortion. You don't pay for the service (which is free), you pay for not being subjected to ads. 2. It doesn't work in the long-term. Paying just signals that you have disposable income and showing subjecting you to ads will be profitable.
