No I won't pay for premium because even if I pay for it I still get ads in the content itself.
Fix that and then I'll pay.
Until then I just block the ads and the sponsors.
- driverdan 10mo agoYT makes it easy to skip embedded ads now. They mark places where people skip past and shortcut it so you don't need to watch them.
- Imustaskforhelp 10mo agoSponsorblock exists as well.
- driverdan 10mo agoSponsorblock is great but only works in the browser. Most people view YT on other devices.
- Imustaskforhelp 10mo agoRevanced Youtube's app support sponsorblock as well.
- wolvoleo 10mo agoYes and Tubular and SmartTubeNext (Android TV!) and Grayjay too. Many options Tubular is a clone of Newpipe by the way, newpipe's devs didn't want to allow the sponsorblock plugin so it had to be forked.
- anthonypasq 10mo agoso you just dont think people making video content should make money in any way? if you hate ads that much dont watch any creators that have sponsored content. oh wait, the only way they can make videos that good is because they make money and are professionals. doh!
- wolvoleo 10mo agoNo, I think they shouldn't be double dipping. If I pay for premium I want no ads whatsoever. Not for the content creators to sneak some in anyway. And no I don't tend to watch many with sponsor crap in them because they aren't actually very good (think the low-quality crap from LTT etc). The best channels (EEVBlog is one notable one) don't have sponsors at all because they're made for love. What I am not doing is watching the sponsorship segments anyway. So yeah I use sponsorblock. And I use Ublock origin or revanced to remove the ads too because there's way too many now.
- anthonypasq 10mo agook so you actually dont think they should be single dipping because you use ublock origin and sponsorblock?
- wolvoleo 10mo agoNo but if they weren't double dipping with the sponsors I'd pay for premium. It's just that as it stands it makes no sense to do so. I still get ads so there's nothing in it for me. And if I use sponsorblock I might as well go the full way. It's really on YouTube that they have let this situation be created. They should have stopped sponsor segments the moment they arrived.
- platevoltage 10mo agoI don't like ads either. Who does? I really don't mind unless they are hard-cut and aren't made by the creator themselves. What's your solution here? A new policy that prevents creators from doing sponsor spots? We all know what the result of that would be.
- wolvoleo 10mo ago> A new policy that prevents creators from doing sponsor spots? We all know what the result of that would be. Well or not show the sponsors to premium users. They could simply upload a separate premium version. Don't forget, these content creators are already getting a lot more money from YT when a premium user views their vids. So they're not entitled. They can walk away but where would they go?? Besides, more and more people are using sponsorblock since it's become totally insane with these.
