Or watch potentially multiple entire minute long, unskippable adverts.
Honestly part of me has considered paying for YouTube premium - but aside from not having to fight off ADs, I don’t care about the other perks, and am more than happy to just give to the creators directly without Google getting a cut.
What? 13? a month?, wtf is Google thinking 🤔, I’m really surprised of the price, I have been blocking add for years and it’s been long since researched for the price, damn.
1 dollar a month would be a great deal, we are getting to the point that the private data they are gathering from us is not enough to pay for the services.
The problem with YouTube Premium is that it’s not differentiated from NewPipe or Vanced.
You don’t get a better algorithm. You don’t get higher quality. You don’t get faster speeds.
You literally get a service that is provided by third party apps.
Until they start baking in ads with their content, YouTube Premium is essentially a paid service for people who don’t run adblock or don’t want to use a third party tool.
You can get background play via using FireFox, video downloading with extensions or other programs, and play anything on hotel TVs with a video cable from a laptop or any other device. All without paying the great beast.
I’m not going to implement multiple workarounds on our android and apple phones and plug a laptop into a tv every time I want to watch YouTube on it. YTP is well worth my few dollars a month.
lol have fun paying megacorps into perpetuity over five minutes of effort… your attitude is exactly why mega corps get to shit on everyone and get away with it.
It’s not air, my dude. You or I could just choose to live without YouTube instead of feeling like we’re entitled to it for free. My money goes directly to the creators, to each and every one of them, when I watch their videos. Are you subscribing to all your creators’ patreons or making one-time donations each time you watch their videos?
A luxury product exists for a certain cost, that cost is negligible to me, I pay it and enjoy the product.
Ah yes, experience a <15 second loading buffer…

Same, any creators that I seriously follow on YouTube also get a Patreon sub from me.
I’ll close and reopen a video multiple times until it goes straight to the video before I watch an ad.
ProTube is solid, and the SponsorBlock extension is also nice.
I considered paying for it but the cost vs benefit just wasnt there.
To prevent a few ads playing vs blocking those ads anyway for free.
yeah nah.
The number of videos I watch on YouTube amounts to maybe 3 hours a week.
At best.
On average maybe 20-30 minutes.
I’m not willing to pay
$13$9 a month for that.What? 13? a month?, wtf is Google thinking 🤔, I’m really surprised of the price, I have been blocking add for years and it’s been long since researched for the price, damn.
My bad. $9 a month.
Still too expensive.

Most people don’t care, I have tried a lot to migrate people to newpipe, SmartTube, etc. and they just don’t care.
YouTube is probably 90% of our streaming consumption.
Combine that with the music streaming, background play, video downloading, and ability to access it on hotel smart TVs.
Plus it supports the creators I like.
Really makes YTP a no-brainer for us.

Way to excuse yourself from handing money to more than problematic people…
Same. I’ve got ad blocking on our whole network but still pay for YTP because it’s actually worth it for us.
Per view, YouTube premium pays more then add supported ones. How much exactly I dont know.
But it’s all relative. For example Patrion would be a much better way of supporting a creator
