How do you think the unthinkable? With an ithberg.
Why do people pay for this? Are there any real advantages?
They believe creator should be paid. That’s about it.
Theoretically it lets you skip the occasions when Noutube/[insert youtube front end]/uBlock origin has issues blocking youtube ads, but that’s rare nowadays.
You can also download videos, for offline playback.
Or right I forgot they added officially endorsed piracy and no rights group thought to challenge it. But then again anyone with a web browser can do the same.
Here I am using firefox and ublock or newpipe, I haven’t seen a youtube ad in years. 🤷
I only see ads when I go to a friends house and they have that on the tv app blasting 1min ads every 5minutes.
I was going to comment this. Having super tech illiterate friends is painnnnnnn . they’re so bad with tech.
Introduce them to SmartTube for Android TV
They don’t care. I’ve tried with Vanced, blockers, DNS, everything. They’d rather just watch the ads. Blows my balls off.
Friends with benefits, just not necessarily the good kind.
Last time I saw a youtube ad (on my devices) was when it was a small picture ad on the right side of the video.
“the unthinkable”
Hyperbole much?
Unthinkable is signing up in the first place
They though the titanic unthinkable until they hit an itheburg.
thanks Mike Tyson
Incontheivable!
Was about to say the same. Unthinkable, I never even thought of subscribing in the first place!
Inconceivable!
They’re ’Muricans. You gotta give them some slack. Thinking doesn’t come naturally to them.
Sorry to interrupt the circlejerk, but the author is a Brit
I’ve made up my mind. Don’t confuse me with facts!
This article is hilarious.
First off - “Trust among users is waning”. Dude, it’s been waning and most people didn’t trust YouTube Premium in the first place because of years of having watched on YouTube with as little to no advertisements. It was glorious. The fuck are you on about?
Second, the second paragraph in, author is citing Reddit as the source of information. This is to imply that we can’t see price hikes a mile away? When, even if we didn’t, we know services like Netflix has been doing it for a while now and YouTube Premium had a price hike before. But now we need Reddit users to know anything? Fucking lol.
This is a case where just having the headline would’ve been good for us.

You have to frequently do some shenanigans to get things working because shit keeps breaking. I still do it, but it’s honestly annoying AF that i need to tinker with my apps like that all the time.
Is this a good moment to post a link to revanced?
I thought revanced died?
Vanced died, ReVanced is alive and…there’s internal conflicts but it’s working
I miss the days when companies would grandfather your price in, so price hikes only effected new users… Now days everyone pays.
Now is the time for peertube to shine
Yeah if you have to compare a service with Netflix, and Netflix comes out as the better value proposition, the other service is doing something really wrong.
Lol, the poor suckers who ever paid for premium in the first place.
What’s the point of YouTube premium again? uBlock Origin works on laptops, tablets, and phones. Smart Tube works on TVs.
Is there some live sports thing that it’s bundled with or something?
unthinkable? Coordinate an attack to kidnap families of high executives?
me: can we have ad free videos with uBlock Origin + SponsorBlock?
google: we have ad free videos at home.
at home: YouTube Premium
“unthinkable”???
