- dfansteel 7mo agoThere are problems with YouTube and the library is free. https://dataspace.princeton.edu/handle/88435/dsp01dz010t34x https://dataspace.princeton.edu/handle/88435/dsp01dz010t34x
- nkrisc 7mo agoIs there anything you can watch on premium that can’t watch on YouTube for free?
- loco5niner 7mo agoI think not, mostly just removes ads, and a few other features
- dominotw 7mo agoits more about what you dont want to watch
- lotsofpulp 7mo agoI judge people who watch that much youtube as susceptible to disinformation.
- flohofwoe 7mo agois there a difference between youtube premium and youtube-with-adblocking?
- eru 7mo agoIf you don't watch on mobile, is there anything that YouTube Premiums gives you that an ad-blocker doesn't?
- twobitshifter 7mo agoYouTube music, higher quality video, and the ‘jump ahead’ feature to skip portions of a video that others usually skip.
- Melonai 7mo agoAlso, though not a benefit to you in particular, apparently any creator you watch with Premium gets a way bigger payout for your view. Only heard about this anecdotally but it seems to track.
- butlike 7mo agoYou can do this manually on the free plan. Mouse over the playhead and you'll see a graph. You can click the highest point in the graph which is where most people clicked through to.
- worldsayshi 7mo agoI find YT to be very sloppy nowadays. Not so much AI content as content that is over-optimized for clicks and revenue. 80% filler and maybe 20% substance. I should probably de-algoify my YT experience.
- bonoboTP 7mo agoYT is huge, and there is plenty of good stuff. You just need to subscribe to good channels that are not so easy to find. And block the clickbait channels when they appear.
- worldsayshi 7mo agoI wish we could collectively move over to some decentralized alternative. Even if we make sure to disable the bad parts, relying on these few actors that have such revenue optimized and enshitification-prone business models does not sit right. Although decentralization by itself does probably not protect from this trap in the long run.
- johnnyanmac 7mo agoNothing is really stopping us the consumer. But given that YouTube seems to be the only one in its "medium" (compared to Twitch and TikTok being different formats) that pays creators, it's hard to ask all of them to impact their potential livelihoods. Nebula as a premium service seems to be the best in terms of paying creators and keeping non-perverse incentives. But Nebula is for very specific kinds of content.
- dzhiurgis 7mo agoAsk Mode is pretty great. Wish they’d just summarise all the video titles for me so I could avoid bait.
- aghuang 7mo agoI judge ppl who are brainwashed enough to pay for youtube premium and watch videos based on their thumbnails.
- malnourish 7mo agoThat's your right; I consider myself a very curious person but I never watch YouTube (I have watched less than 10 minutes in 2026). I prefer to read news and information. What little exposure to YouTube personalities and editing styles I've had annoys me to no end.
- eudamoniac 7mo agoVideo is a terrible learning format for most information. I actually judge people who learn primarily through video as having very low information parsing throughput.
