The only time I've had an ad on YouTube with premium(on their site) is when I went in to invisible mode.

In my opinion it's absolutely stupid that invisible mode has the capability of detecting that you have an account because it skips the age verification blocker on content-sensitive videos, but it gives ads to people with premium. It's obviously able to see that you have a YouTube account so therefore it should be able to just do the next step of saying okay does this account have premium. The only thing people are asking for was it to not log the videos they're watching but they had to make it some Next Generation NASA level secret hidden profile shit that doesn't actually do anything.

Also it really bugs me that they've added ads for YouTube and beds on discord. If I have my YouTube account linked to my Discord account I should not receive ads on the in bed. It should be able to see my YouTube account via electrons cookie system and be able to link it to an account that has premium.

If I'm paying monthly for a service without ads and I see a single (1) advertisement, I should at least get a month of free subscription because the other party is in breach of contract.

Firefox with ad blocker? You are wasting your money.

[–] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 19 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (4 children)

Do creator even get any real amount of money from the money collected through premium?

Buying premium seems like the dumbest shit imaginable to me.

[–] morrowind@lemmy.ml 1 points 4 days ago

They get 2/3, as opposed to 55% of ad revenue and nothing from adblock users

How long until that's just made illegal?

I have premium too once I saw an ad and complained and it turned out to be a bug. I even had engineers reach out with questions when they were fixing the issue.

Maybe that has happened here? They have announced any changes.

  • Web: Firefox + uBlock Origin
  • Mobile (Android only): Grayjay
  • TV (Android): Smarttube
  • iPhone/iPad: Brave Browser

Enjoy

[–] Mwa@lemm.ee 3 points 3 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (5 children)

A more bigger list:

Web: Firefox (or any firefox fork on apple tech you can use safari + adguard) with Ublock origin + libreredirect. The yt frontend sites: Invidious,Piped(broken at this time),Poketube (my personal favorite)

Mobile (Android and Ios): Yattee(The only ios client, broken can only stream local downloaded content or from Poketube servers.),Clipious (invidious client built with flutter),Libretube(Piped,broken at this time),Grayjay (source available not strictly youtube client),Vlc media player (Ios and android not strictly a yt client it can play downloaded videos or stream from poketube servers),Tubular(Newpipe with sponsor block and return youtube dislike not strictly a yt client you can use regular newpipe aswell.),Freetube(unofficial).

PC(Linux,Windows and Macos): Plasmatube, (fits well with kde plasma a little to quiet),QTube(Yt client built with qt,Embeds yts site),Freetube (if your fine with Electron which is using chromium),Vlc media player (said above).

I feel like you don't fully understand that the line can go up. At the expense of everything...

For everyone on Android, you can just patch the youtube app using ReVanced, which will remove ads, add sponsorblock, allow you to hide shorts and the "People also watched" sections. It can be pretty tricky to patch if you don't know what you're doing so feel free to tell me if you run into any issues.

If you don't care about the algorithm and your feed, you can get the third-party client NewPipe, it's FOSS ~~but sometimes crashes while reading some videos~~ It does not seem to crash anymore, so good thing!

Pick one!

[–] Hadriscus@lemm.ee 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I don't think I've ever had NP crash. What do you mean by "some videos"?

[–] helloyanis@jlai.lu 1 points 2 days ago

Strange, I've had a video that crashed newpipe every time but now it seems to play fine. Maybe because it was a "Coming soon" video? Anyways it seems like it works fine now, I also had a bug where leaving the app would crash the app instead of doing background play but I also can't get it to occur again. I'll edit my original comment.

[–] ziggurat@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I use gray Jay instead, it has become really good the last wave of updates. Wife is on revanced, I'll change her over if gray jay adds shorts.

There is still a few paper cut issues with it, but over all I prefer gray jay over the official YouTube app.

[–] helloyanis@jlai.lu 2 points 3 days ago

Well, thanks for sharing! The more options the better!

[–] nek0d3r@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

A few years ago I got this experience on mobile and posted about it on r/assholedesign, but it was autoremoved as a banned repost even though I didn't see anything like it. Yet another ban happy subreddit, I'm glad to be out of that place. This is truly awful though, and why I'm happy to use revanced.

[–] emrsmsrli@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

lol here we are, just after a few weeks when people were defending how yt premium was the best subscription plan ever on Lemmy. people deserve to be scammed like this tbh

Imagine paying money to see 2 fucking ads before a video.

[–] greencactus@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Or imagine installing uBlock Origin and not seeing ads at all ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

YouTube really promoted uBlock more than uBlock could even promote itself

[–] Faresh@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

Don't use ublock, use ublock origin, the latter is open-source and trustworthy.

[–] greencactus@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Thank you for the correction! I meant origin and forgot to write it :)
