Youtube recently emailed me to say that they are cancelling the Youtube Premium Lite plan (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37649777 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37649777) that I've been on for 3 years. This looks interesting.

This is to skip in-video sponsorships/ads (based on community tagging them as such), not YouTube ads.

  It actually works for both. It will skip/mute YouTube ads. Only ads that have the ‘skip’ button will be skipped

    Which is pretty much none these days.

      I’ve found that having ads muting is much less obstructive. It’s not ideal but it improves it a bit

        I wonder if they can overlay a GIF of a cat on top of the video when the ad is playing...

Yea, they recently doubled the price of their ad-free version so back we go to ublock and sponsor block.

That’s a shame, I was waiting for this plan to be available in my country to get it.
