Increasing prices, increasing ads and ad times, overall quality worsens…. a timeless classic

Its the only worthwhile subscription service tbh.

Still worth it’s weight in gold. Haven’t seen a single add in 6 years have access to all the music I like at high quality while playing it in the background or with the phone case closed and what not.
I see people complaining about long adds and i don’t even know what the actual fuck they are talking about.

Sucks but still not in a place, at least for me, where I unsub due to lost value. This is still worth it to me. YouTube and YT Music are my most used apps by far.

Big tech company raising subscription prices while raking in billions in profits. Nothing new to see here.
Edit: Nobody’s going to convince me that paying for anything on that platform is worth it. Sorry this is the boomer Hill I plan to die on, I remember when it was free and without ads. 🙃

If i could not sub any harder I would. Fuck youtube

I’ve never gotten into YouTube.
Just movie trailers and occasional clips.
I’ve never made an account and subscribed to a channel.
It’s the biggest cultural relevance thing I fail at.
I’ve never seen a Mr Beast challenge or anything I just know he has chocolate bars nobody likes

Use YouTube without a subscription and install an ad blocker

I miss YouTube Lite that let me just get rid of ads. Got no need for all the extra fluff that Premium brings.

Is it Algeria or Albania for VPN use? I always get it mixed up which one blocks ads

I finally cancelled after years of having it. I mainly watch on my TV, and it’s absolutely garbage on there. History tracking must be turned on to get any recommendations (otherwise you have to manually search ALL videos), the algorithm is super narrow, videos I’ve already watched fill half the screen, channels I mark as “do not recommend” still appear, you have to manually skip in-video ads, etc.
YT without a subscription is absolutely horrendous, so it’s actually nice being forced away from the platform.

Thanks everyone for supporting Google enough so they do not clamp down that hard on adblockers and such.

I canceled YouTube premium and started using the website in safari with sponserblock and Adblock and it’s the best version of YouTube I ever have had.

Anyone know of a YouTube “alternative” available for apple devices?

Ublock origin, revanced and smarttube. 😎

This is bonkers! Premium is mostly to remove ads. Paying $16 a month to see no ads on one website is ridiculous.
oz81dog on
Just wild. It’s only worth $2 a month total. Max. And that’s how much they increased it above what was already charging! No way, Jose!

YouTube uBlock Origin has much more competitive pricing

On my ship, the plan that I use is going up $0 this month.
justifun on
I keep getting ads from them saying „now with less ads and cheaper premium“
dogzi on
They’re increasing the amount of Ads in normal YT and at the same time increasing the price of premium?
Then they wonder why people won’t stop using ad blockers. Zero incentive to go premium, especially with how prices keep increasing $2-3 every six fucking months, and the algorithm isn’t even any good so what exactly is the value proposition here?

I’m still pay $7.99 a month. Lol.

I would consider getting YouTube Premium if it was 1/3 of the current price.
skwander on
$200/year to watch YouTube.
Lol not fucking happening. I use brave browser and get no ads, suck my balls google.
TheRedditHasYou on
I’ll just keep on stealing my YouTube thank you very much (adblocker & Morphe)
wookiewin on
Surprise. They recently deployed even more annoying as fuck ad tech so more people will pay to remove ads, so why not raise prices.
WhiteLama on
It’s honestly the only subscription I still use and still think is worth every penny.
Fusken on
I’ll pay any price for YouTube premium. It’s the only subscription I never feel bad about.
WhiskeyFeathers on
Fucking grift. Adblock is a great thing.
harlotstoast on
Unfortunately they’d have to double it before I’d consider dropping it.

Mozilla adbock still works fyi
