  If you use YouTube enough that ads annoy you then just pay for YouTube Premium.

    You only need to use YT a couple times to already be annoyed by the unskippable and numerous ads, plus inline advertisement, that your face will get slapped with.

    uBlock is better, free, available in more regions, and you don’t have to login to your Google account to use it.

    Would not mind paying if I knew what to expect from the start of their service. Now they are abusing more and more their market position to fuck their customers. No way I'm paying for that shit.

  uBlock origin still blocks YouTube ads. Google is highly profitable, take the subscription fee and donate it to someone who will help people instead of just develop more sophisticated ads and ways to remove blocking from browsers…

    LTT has said in one of their WAN shows? Or their financing show? That YouTube Premium members get them more money than ad watchers. I’m happy to help support YT creators in this way.

$15 per month is a little nuts - I don't know anyone who pays for Youtube Premium - Though they piloted Youtube lite overseas for $5 per month but it's seems unlikely they will bring it to the states - If they do roll it out, I will subscribe

  Quick note: $15.99 through in app purchase, $11.99 through the website.

  Also includes YT Music, making it not much more expensive than other streaming music services if you're willing to use it over something like Spotify.

    I really really wish I could love Youtube Music. But I just cant. It is even worst than Apple Music.

      I've been using it. It's gotten a lot better than when it first came out. Super annoying that they released a product that was far inferior (and probably still is inferior) to Google Play music and forced everyone to switch.

      Google has been trying to diversify outside of search + Google Apps but everything they try just feels janky and doomed for the graveyard in a couple of years anyway. Stadia, Chromebooks, Google Home, Wifi, Fiber, all of the Nest stuff post-acquisition, Fi… they all seem like they start off with a bang, then go nowhere and just fizzle for a few years before getting the axe. It makes it hard to get excited about anything they announce. I think Facebook has been doing this too. At the end of the day, they’re advertising companies trying to be something more.

Funny thing Youtube doesn't accept my money. It says my region is not supported for Youtube Premium. I would not mind paying 5-10 bucks a month for that, already does for Netflix and Apple TV.

YouTube premium removes one layer of ads. The content still has ads, but you stop needing to watch ads so you can watch ads
- npteljes 5y ago
  Well it removes YouTube's ads, no? Of course it doesn't do anything about sponsors, etc.
- Infinitesimus 5y ago
  That's not entirely within their control though. They provide a platform for people to host things. If someone pays you to talk about their product, no one will stop you unless the thing you're selling is against their ToS.
