I get more out of YouTube than I would get from Netflix, which costs 14€ per month for the plan without ads. I don’t regret being subscribed.

It is leading/forcing us into the new AI packages with AI, cloud storage, YouTube… mimicking Apple One; makes even more sense for Android users but also for Apple.

Easy:
Ublock origin,
SmartTube for androidtv

youtube became facebook. It shoves absolutely irrelevant videos into my preferences.
And the heaps of low effort content, like movie reactions. For that reason I won’t give up firefox with my trusty addons.

Got a 30 day trial of german Prime because of a bunch of free games. But trying to watch a show on it it’s now packed with ads. every 10 minutes it’s an ad break. On a payment subscription service. Well I mean they aren’t getting me as a paying customer any time soon if that’s how they treat ya.
Meanwhile youtube trying to charge you for something that can be achieved for free, no doubt using all that money to try and stop adblockers from working. Endless hamster wheel until it gets lobbied for and deemed illegal to block ads. I am not sponsoring any of that.

I’ve just moved to selfhosting and included YouTube in it. Works flawless.

So 15-45 minutes of watching pure ads is equivalent to a dollar. I watch youtube what like 2hours tops a day. Hard to believe the price hike is a smart move risking people quitting.

YouTube Premium has always been absurdly overpriced – I have no idea how it’s been successful enough to last so long.

I fucking hate how they keep rising prices to pay for the failing AI expansion

Blocking ads online should be government recommended and publicly funded. Forget online IDs, if you care about kids, shut down the advertising and data harvesting industry.
It doesn’t make it better when the companies rely on horrible ad experiences to push people into subscription services. And then they put ads on those anyway. Online platforms exist just to collect users to exploit. That needs to stop.

Look I understand running a service like youtube costs money, and that creators won’t do it for free.
But I need a little bit of transparency where my money would be going to. Youtube music pays pennies to artists, and that stacked on top of any publisher and label leeching absolutely nothing is left.
Youtubers have to put sponsorships inside their videos. Have a patreon. Shill their youtube members thing for exclusive content and whatnot. Where is my youtube premium money going then? Absolute farce. All the while they will also continue to keep using everyone’s data for who knows that and who knows how much money they’re making off that.

They only made 132 billion profit last year. Have some pity.

I’ve started using Brave for my YouTube needs.
I miss having the convenience of Premium but to me 15€ is a steep price for background listening to be a thing.
