YouTube is a free service that is used by millions. I’m okay with them advertising. And if you don’t like it, give them some money ??♂️

How long before YouTube premium has ads and you have to pay more for YouTube platinum
CaptainKipup
Foxtel (Australia) realised with no ads years ago as it was a paid for service. Now it has ads like free to air.

I am not going to lie. I broke down and got youtube premium the ads were killing me...

YouTube premium is worth it for the music service. Offline mixtapes that update on their own, best thing ever for hiking and camping

I have YouTube Premium and it's actually amazing. Once you try it the idea of watching ads will give you a mild stroke.
Sauroctonus
Yeah, you don't have to pay for that.
TacoPoweredHelicopter
Someone does. Do you think there services are free to offer?
TheBlueMuppet
You think you're not how google makes its money already?
AbsolutelyZeroFucksGiven
But it also let's YT continue playing on your phone even with the device closed and gives you YouTube music which is like Spotify...
TessierSendai
Newpipe does this on Android, and Firefox+ ublock origin gives me free Spotify and YouTube Music. Fuck paying to restore prior functionality
AbsolutelyZeroFucksGiven
Interesting. I'll have my assistant look into this for me. She's good with technology and could probably figure it out.
AbsolutelyNotTheNSA
I watch YT on my TV (watch YT channels more than actual broadcast TV) so Premium is worth it to me. Plus YT Music is good too.

I actually have YouTube Premium. I love that I can listen to music and videos while my phone is locked and the ability to download videos.
BautaStein
Dont have netflix, use premium for no ads, weird city is a cool show, podcasts, lockable screen, downloads for tutorials and lots of music
Kougeru
YouTube premium is actually worth it though. Just get the family plan. It's like $17 for 5 people or something ?
jkeezie
Exactly this. I pay $17 a month for me, my wife, family account, bro, and his wife's account. No ads, which I don't want to expose kids to.

I don't mind the ads. I understand why they're needed. But can get something different besides the SAME FREAKING 5 ADS?!?!

They're also using the "are you still watching?" autopause to annoy you into switching to premium.

Yes! Had music on background at work and kept pausing. I kept wondering "am I really losing track of time that badly?"

I have it I'll buy any extra fees to remove ads from anything.i hate ad's

Not if you have premium. I watch YT more than Netflix, D+, Prime combined do its worth the 10$. Also when you subscribe to a channel they

2) get more

and in the middle of music videos too!
charliegrs
Well it's a free service that costs a shitload of money to run. Its not surprising
CarpoolTunnelSyndrome
I haven't seen an ad on YouTube for years. Oh right, I have that premium thing.
jawsoshuell
Adblocker works wonders. Only thing it ever failed to prevent was Hulu's ad time-out. Just solid white instead of the ad, which I preferred.
ThePunishersVengefulBrother
Unfortunately, our TV app doesn't have an adblock.
jawsoshuell
That's true. It's why I upgraded my Hulu to ad-free. For YouTube, I just never select it through the TV. I cast it from my PC and get no ads
Yoghurtsson
I remember I turned adblock off once to check some stuff for work 6 years ago. ONCE. Never again.
LeSethX
U-Block origin (not just U-Block) works even better. Admittedly, I was still getting the rare ad, but merely had to repair the extension.
samuelwestphalia
Seriously. I've forgotten youtube even HAS advertising, at this point.
HumanCats
Had to set up an ad-free version on my TV. The encroach of adverts spoiling content is destroying the platform.

They will eventually make a ad light version where you have to pay like 50 cents a month and it will guarantee no more than 3 ads prolly

Downvoter doesnt know about Eccentric Severe Tumors, or how Ford Fucks, or Mercedeez Nuts
AttackOfTheSpaceBat
Been able to find in other platforms. I also watch a ton of YouTube videos so no ads for any of it.
LoudBirb
Same. It also supports the content creators more than the ad views you'd normally have to sit through do.
LogiosHermes
Same here.
AbsolutelyNotTheNSA
I watch YouTube more than normal broadcast TV so it's worth it to me and YT Music is a nice bonus.
HunterTTP
Honestly it’s been great. Ads can die in a hole. I’m still saving boat loads compared to cable.
stevtom27
YouTube musics algorithm is hopeless, it plays me almost always the same 20 songs everytime i play music, nothing new or not a wide variety
Corrodias
Choose different seed songs. I know it's not a perfect solution, but neither is any other music service. I tried Pandora. Same result.
wellitseemedlikeagoodideaatthetime
Yeah you need to keep feeding it new likes and dislikes to change your suggestions. Play songs you like and give it more to work with
gunfrank00
Somehow it's better than Spotify
RayMC
How so?
SharkoutofWata
Some Indy bands or singers don’t put their stuff on Spotify. The ones trying to be something do, but some just like to sing a video.
wellitseemedlikeagoodideaatthetime
It has all the regular music you'd expect, and also every other weird music ever uploaded to the tube, biggest selection in my opinion
prettydumb
had it for years, best $10 a month ive ever spent. how about you guys stop paying $120 for worthless tv instead
MrJwinkyface
Have you heard of Hulu or Netflix? Way better and cheap
TacoPoweredHelicopter
If I had to cancel YouTube premium quality r Netflix, hands down Netflix would be gone first.
MrJwinkyface
No way, far more better shows and movies on Netflix.
AbsolutelyNotTheNSA
There's easy ways to watch Netflix without paying for Netflix ?
WarmApple314
Forgive me, for I have paid for the premium.

I like Google Music and they came together. We just pay the family price and then 5 people get premium and Youtube music which is ok.
sstrdisco
Same. I use YouTube a lot and I greatly dislike commercials, it's worth it to me.

ILikeToFindTheAnswers
I watch a lot by casting to the tv & I like that when I watch a vid the creator gets paid. I use yt music, which is included.
billstranger
I should really do this. I watched a LOT of YouTube to pass the time this last year (lockdown and curfew). And it's a habit now.
fletcherb5958350
Ditto. For shame.

I paid for Google family, 14.99 a month gives me YouTube music ad free and YouTube premium ad free on 5 accounts.
DankTimez4Eva
I had it for a few years just for cobra kai before it went to Netflix
Struggleofthebusvariety
I've had it since it was YouTube Red. Definitely worth it for me, ads are terrible. And the offline music is great to have.
Icreatedanaccountjusttoupvotethis
You're not alone. I do it for the music, but the lack of commercials is great.
Magus25
Same. I use the music offline play and download videos for offline viewing. The total lack of ads is just a bonus.
retrohellix
Me too. At some point the people complaining about the premium ads will become a minority.
MegaBiteMe
Me too. I also use YouTube Music though, and YouTube Premium includes music and it's only like $2 more for no ads ever. Totally worth it.

You get YouTube music as well for it. Not a bad deal really

They sent me a free google home mini and a stadia controller and chrome cast.
stoshaliss
Yeah I use it for music too. I got it to watch kobra kai in 2018 and never canceled it
AnnieGitchYerGun
No commercials. None. Except for those YouTube artists that are paid to include the ads in their shows. They have a disclaimer to tell you
AnnieGitchYerGun
ahead of time. It's not a commercial though. It's just them reading the ad. Or working it into their show. I stopped listening to some
AnnieGitchYerGun
artists bc they do put what seems like too many paid advertisements in their show. You also get YouTube Music which can be pretty great. I
AnnieGitchYerGun
stream YouTube on my TV so it's pretty great having no commercials.

No ads. I listen to ASMRvat night and it just plays my list. There's full albums, movies, Playlist I create. I really enjoy it.
mudflaprubberneck
My fav subscription
UnrustleYerJimmies
No YouTube ads, but you still have to hear the creator's ads but can also just FF through them so still worth it combined with the music.
retrohellix
I got it for YouTube Music. It's the Bing of music, but it's kinda decent. No ads on regular YT is a plus.
zeroisnothing
Correct, it's worth it.
slheeley
Sweet! I spend my day with YouTube in the background. Guess I’m joining the robot army.
AnnieGitchYerGun
Especially if you stream on your TV. (I do!)
zeroisnothing
Same. It's mostly all I watch anymore
sportbilly1979
Other than the sponsors in the video ("These guys sent this to me and it's amazing!") there are no ads. No skipping, they just don't exist
ilikethepartwiththeboobs
Me too, its definitely worth it.
zeroisnothing
Same, and I agree.
GunRack
I signed up when it was YouTube Red so I've never seen any ads for premium. I watch like 40 hours a week of YouTube. Worth it

It is SO worth it. Honestly one of the best purchases I've made.

asanaustralianwhyareyourpostsupsidedown
Also the cost is vs a Spotify account.
DetectiveGaff
And you get YouTube Music, which is way better than it was now than at launch
BigDaddysMeatWagon
For like $15 me and my family get no ads on a service we use more that Netflix. You can use multiple accounts.
LuncheonsAndDragons
I use it more than any other service. No ads, plays with screen off, download a video for offline play. Good for working with kids.
DefinitelyNotMadeOfBees
For any other reason than they stop asking if you want to join?
SunBelly
Besides no ads and YT Music, I love that it keeps playing with the screen off. I listen to tons of audiobooks on Youtube at work.
itsimpossibletofindausernamethatisnttaken
I was already paying for google music when it converted. The fact that youtube doesn't have ads now is kind of just additional perk.
phil1d
Creators get direct support from your views instead of the ads, or so they tell us. I hope it is true
Badprenup
It is true, and usually more than they get from ad revenue.
golddragon2000
I just don't like ads at all, so I pay to skip them
Mickp81
Also, you get YouTube music, which is a decent music streaming service.
knifepartty
I second that. I pay for the family plan which you can add 6 people to.. it's pretty economical if you all chip in.
DefinitelyNotMadeOfBees
That's my problem with it: they created a problem, and then asked you to pay for the solution.
Jellyrabbit
I mean the movie theater created a problem by requiring a ticket to watch the movie, and then asked you to pay for the solution.

More like double dipping I would say, getting money from advertisers and users all the same.
PoppinLochNessHopster
I mean... How else would they make money? Youtube costs a fucking giant shitload of money to run.

Music library and offline playlists, shows (very lacking but still), no ads, ability to turn off screen while listening to video.

The last is the best, until you realize Spotify and Nugs is a thing.

Except when it won't work. I haven't had YT Music work even halfway decent since late ,19. Or, YT's background play. Both shut off at random
BorkBork7
Got to the point that I uninstalled YT Music and shifted to Apple Music which is at least adequate.
LogiosHermes
No issues for mw honestly. I believe that it happens, their app should be improved (YTMusic).
SenfinaZeit
Pay for free features they decided to put behind a pay wall? Not in my god damn life.
LogiosHermes
Your idea that you are entitled to have it for free baffles me. You don't have to use it, it's not essential.
BluPenguin
Right? I also hate how restaurants put their food behind paywalls when it grows on the damn trees for free! What a load of bs.
LittleAngelTgirl
How entitled can you be smh. Content creators even get a much larger amount from premium then ads. YouTube is a business you're not owed it
FalcorTheUrinator
Ok
thtguyjosh
back in my day you used to be able to turn off the screen while listening to a video
SenfinaZeit
I also remember.

Last one is the big one for me. Makes it much easier to listen to D&D live-play games in many cases.
Onsvaltti
Right?? I listen to R/Slash, CribCrab, And stuff like that. DnD horror stories, entitled people stories, stuff. ??✨
FiveShiftOne
Did not actually care about the ads but being able to shut off the video and listen to audio with the screen locked is worth it on 4h vids.
MadeMyAccountJustForThis
I use it for music instead of spotify.
DetectiveGaff
I grabbed Google Music in 2013, and didn't realize I had YouTube Premium at some point. I just thought it was my ad blocker
PeterPanPeanutButterAlert
That's how I initially got hooked. My kid went to show me a video on his Switch and I was reminded why I keep paying for it
InTheTimeOfChimpanzeesIWasAMonkey
Same
DetectiveGaff
YouTube Music doesn't have that same media player vibe, but I'll take ad free YouTube
NateintheNorth
Same. I do consume a lot of YouTube so it's definitely a perk. YouTube Music is as good as anything else.
memeseeks
Agreed. I only use it for YouTube Music.
SantaPanda
Its good and I have it but I hate how you cant create a playlist out of your "Now Playing". Makes tweaking playlists beyond tedious
fakieflip180
Google play music was way better.
NateintheNorth
I don't know about WAY better, but I wasn't super happy when they made us switch. I've mostly gotten used to it.
AndThenThereWasChris
I disagree for a weird reason: YouTube Music has far more video game soundtracks. I was surprised.
McVear
agree! noticed it's been slowly getting better. also still can't believe it can't play from the cache offline, deal breaker right there.
TheUseriestName
You can, I think? Just gotta hit 'download' on whatever track/album/playing you want and it's available offline.
