  Damn I just have ublock origin, so I never get ads and I don’t pay a cent. Hope your premium membership works out for you tho

    Thanks, I’m still grandfathered in at the beta price, but I mainly use it for discovering music to add to my Plex collection. The free YouTube is a bonus for me

      I didn’t realize that they still had grandfather’s subscriptions, I was the same where I got it at a lower price, but they decided that they weren’t going to honor that price 2 years ago and raised it anyway. I’ve told myself I’m dropping the sub if it goes up again because honestly it’s current price is a little outrageous. But I watch over a thousand hours of YouTube a year so therefore it’s worth it to me.

        The thing is I don’t think I’m supposed to be. They said they’d terminate it so I’m just grateful for the borrowed time I have.

        I’ve been subscribed since the minute GPM launched the beta.

  Is it really a fluke or just boiling the frog slowly?

    Oooh, like when the whole purpose of paying for cable television was no ads?

  I get ads on premium sometimes. I think it’s a fluke but def unacceptable

  That’s among the reasons why even with premium an ad blocker is required.

  It’s a bug with the android app.

  I’ve seen it maybe 3 times in 8ish years on my phone. Never once in the TV app.
