Haven't they started rolling out ads in premium

https://lemmy.world/c/revanced

Make sure you don't fall for fake revanced sites, but everybody do check it out.

whats revanced

It takes the YouTube app file (.apk) that you download and modifies it to include or exclude certain features.

The premium that includes youtube music does not have ads yet. I've heard the cheaper one that doesn't include music has ads, but I can't confirm that.

Wait, really?

Yeh I'm pretty sure i saw an article talking about premium with "limited ads" to the search engines

Edit.

Where i got the above from https://9to5google.com/2024/11/13/youtube-premium-ads-statement/

When I messaged about the Crunchyroll ads they said it was a problem. Must've got a lower level support guy, lol

There's a Premium Lite subscription which includes ads on certain kinds of videos (among which music, I believe)

Wtf am I looking at

Tweet of someone saying "the best adblock for YouTube is a Premium sub" which has been photoshopped in a way to imply that the person who Tweeted has the occupation of "Slave"

Not photoshopped, a tweet reply I think

I don’t mind paying for the service at a reasonable price. The US pricing is out of control.

But I have a VPN so I don’t pay that much. Sometimes YouTube kicked me off and I use another location.

But like why? IM TRYING TO PAY YOU, YOUTUBE. The next step is full Adblock and you get nothing.

Its like they don’t even want my money and would rather I just block the ads for free.

Premium is an Adblock for YouTube so far. Not for long, though.

Yeah if Premium Lite is anything to go off,,,,

i'm in this picture kinda (i have yt premium for music streaming) 😔

I'm in this picture kinda (i have been castrated) 😔

Why pay for what's already free?

Kreate for Android

Yattee for iOS

I don't have a phone except working one which doesn't allow installation of any APKs, plus my wife also uses YT Music and YouTube family subscription

Because I use the YouTube app on Apple TV. It doesn’t have all the fancy stuff. Plus I want to kinda support the dozens of creators I watch without spending $120/month since they’d all be Patreon/Twitch.

Paying the streaming company does not support the artist.

YouTube has a revenue split with it's creators? Ads (and therefore Premium) are often a good part of a creator's income?

It may not support them by a lot, but it supports them infinitely more than blocking all ads.

Most of the ones i like make their money on patreon.

Oh, lol, .world

I suppose that is so; but if you'd ask them whether they'd also rather have the ad revenue, I would assume most of them would say yes.

Ah, yes. Make fun of me for signing up with some domain when I was still clueless about Lemmy. Thanks. Really appreciate the generalisation.

Donate a single dollar once to each of your favorite creators and you're already supporting them more than by watching with YT Premium or watching ads. The creators get a tiny fraction of the ad & subscription revenue, while YouTube keeps most for themselves - that's who you're really supporting with premium

It's not that I disagree with you here, but what percentage do you think a traditional production company gets out of the ad revenue a TV station pulls?

A single month of patreon is gonna give them more money than watching all their videos with ads, you can just rotate

My father (or is it dad?) pays for YT Premium and our family uses it. I am honestly grateful for it. I mostly watch on a Smart TV from 2016, which means I can't install any of those crazy craps people recommend. I've heard the ad situation is better in Brazil

You can depending on what OS your SmartTV runs.

Yattee for appleTV OS

SmartTube for Android TV & Fire TV

Clipious for Android TV and Fire TV

Playlet for Roku

YouTube AdFree for WebOS (I havent used this one before, never had a WebOS device nor known anyone with one.)

and for any other device I'm sure you can just look up "(OS Name Here) Ad-free youtube client" and find results

That's impressive, though I don't like (the sound of) multiple Smart TV OSes. But the one I've mentioned can't install any if those things, it's really old.
