100% worth it if you watch a lot of YouTube like myself. No ads and you can still listen to the app while its minimized. Plus it comes with YouTube Music Premium which allows you to cancel your Spotify/Apple subscription.

I can already do both of those things with ublock origin and Video Background Play Fix, even for videos that don't play while minimized in the youtube app. For free. I'm good, thanks.

There is. Log into the VPN for say, Argentina or Ukraine, sign up for Youtube Premium, get their price every month. It doesn't change when you're not using the VPN. For Argentina, it comes out to about $1.50 US or thereabouts. Worth it IMO.

I always thought it was funny that YouTube's business model is to accept money from advertisers to show ads to viewers, and then turn around and accept money from viewers to not have to watch the ads.

It's diabolically brilliant

They raised it because they saw that suckers would buy it to avoid their aggressive ad practices.

I did that even before this anti-adblock thing started because I mostly watch YouTube on my TV though the app on my Xbox, so I couldn't use an adblocker even if I wanted to. Plus, I get Premium cheap because I split a family plan with my brother and a couple of his friends.

Streaming rate for audio is even worse than the free version of Spotify, so that isn't an option.

YouTube Premium is more expensive than Disney+, Amazon video, and Apple TV. And unlike those, they don't even pay for, or originate any content!

Seems like terrible value to me.

I dont get the hate YouTube gets for wanting to protect itself from ad blockers. No one bats an eyelid about paying for Netflix. Prime and probably 6 other streaming sites at the same time but people get all uppity at the idea of having to watch ads on YouTube. I dont get it. Some people are just entitled I guess.

They said almost 2 decades. Not sure where you got "more" from there.

And the issue isn't that the ads were always there, it's the frequency combined with the aggression behind them. And the fact that they flat out aren't monitored for backdoor scripts. Back in the day, so many people got the Google redirect virus from their lack of security. Ads being present did not favors for defending users against it.

For YouTube to have had almost 2 decades of advertising... they have to have existed beforehand. Because you can't have ads on YouTube if YouTube didn't exist.

That's why I said what I said.

They first introduced ads in in 2006. Thats 17 years ago. I consider 17 years the best part of two decades.

If you want to look at it another way Youtube started in 2005. So theyve had adverts in some format for over 94% of its entire existence.

With that in mind I dont understand the bait and switch argument.

?? I don't follow. If they have videos that were made in 2005, and it's 2023, how is that not almost 2 decades??? It's 2 years off from reaching 2 decades.
