I have such mixed feelings about this. I can't stand to waste the time on ads so I started using an alternative client that doesn't have any ads.
However, I do recognize that I've been using youtube for 15+ years without paying a cent or watching any ads - which is pretty unreasonable. No streaming service or television channel has ever been free with no ads. I can't really justify it.
And yet, I'm not willing to pay for youtube. It having been free all these years makes that a hard pill to swallow, somehow it just feels wrong now.
- dvngnt_ 3y agoi would buy for 5 a month for ad-free, but newpipe + revanced is better on mobile and on desktop kodi, or SmartTubeNext i don't want to pay for a worst experience.
- kazinator 3y ago> without paying a cent You mean, YouTube has not paid you a cent for your attention.
- blacksmith_tb 3y agoI'm even willing to pay but with sponsor messages being baked in even paying for Premium means having to take extra steps to avoid ads. I'm also not sure if I pay for Premium if YT will still shut me down for running uBlock origin? I guess I could allowlist it at that point...
