As another reply said already
Imagine cable tv! (in the US at least, and, it seems, Canada, too)
It is so absurd until you realize people already accepted that shit… wtf!!!
Black616Angel@discuss.tchncs.de 4 days ago
Yes, but this is german and in Germany most TV is free with ads or paid without ads.
NarrativeBear@lemmy.world 4 days ago
Its like going to the local cinema, ads before the movie.
gmgmgm@lemmy.world 4 days ago
I went to a Regal Cinema for the first time a few months ago and they played 20 minutes of ads that began at the advertised movie start times. Insane.

Imagine paying money to watch YouTube.
Resonosity@lemmy.world 4 days ago
Imagine not using NewPipe, which has no ads and can play music in the background while you use other apps simultaneously (Samsung only feature I’ve heard, but still)
Black616Angel@discuss.tchncs.de 3 days ago
I use vanced, but NewPipe is also great.
greencactus@lemmy.world 3 days ago
Or imagine installing uBlock and not seeing ads at all ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
YouTube really promoted uBlock more than uBlock could even promote itself

The only benefit now, but what if they start to serve 30 non-skippable ads without premium and ONLY 5 with premium, what a deal! Right?
the “lesser evil” strategy is so hot rn

Firefox with ad blocker? You are wasting your money.

My wife uses a TV to watch YouTube My kid uses a phone My other kid uses a tablet
Saying just use ad block isn’t feasible for everyone.
Lichtblitz@discuss.tchncs.de 4 days ago
If you use something Android based for watching YouTube on the TV (some TVs, fireTV stick, etc.), you can: github.com/yuliskov/SmartTube?tab=readme-ov-file
I haven’t watched a single Ad on YouTube on TV (SmartTube), mobile (ReVanced), or PC (Firefox + uBlock origin) since it became unbearable… five years ago or so?
Funkwonker@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 days ago
SmartTube for TV and ReVanced/uYouPlus for Andriod/IOS devices. SmartTube can be tricky to set up depending on the TV, but the mobile apps are relatively simple to get working.
JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee 4 days ago
On a TV use SmartTube. On QN Android device (phone or tablet) use LibreTube (or InnerTune for music)

DogWater@lemmy.world 4 days ago
And I don’t pay for Spotify or any other music service. Premium yt videos is just a bonus
unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 4 days ago
Do creator even get any real amount of money from the money collected through premium?
Natanael@slrpnk.net 4 days ago
They do, and based on reported stats it gets them more per viewer. No idea if anybody’s audited those stats though
morrowind@lemmy.ml 4 days ago
They get 2/3, as opposed to 55% of ad revenue and nothing from adblock users
driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br 4 days ago
I have ad blocker on my pc, but pay for youtube premium for the TV app and the youtube music.
JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee 4 days ago
Use LibreTube or InnerTune, no need to pay. I’ve heard good things about SmartTube too

Blackmist@feddit.uk 4 days ago
Ugh, you didn’t even pay for Premium Plus?
Bloody peasant…
JigglySackles@lemmy.world 4 days ago
And this is why i,won’t start paying them money. They will never be content and will just keep pushing ads further and further.
AWittyUsername@lemmy.world 4 days ago
Yeah the price will increase or ads or both. But it never just stops. It’s never enough
Blackmist@feddit.uk 3 days ago
The growth must continue!
Even when you’ve reached complete market saturation…
EmperorHenry@discuss.tchncs.de 4 days ago
This is why you get anti-anti-adblock userscripts in tampermonkey inside of your browser and/or the same inside of adguard for windows. Along with an adblocking DNS
Give them an inch and they’ll take 1000 miles. No more money for google, ever.
joyjoy@lemm.ee 4 days ago
Don’t disable uBlock Origin, even when you have YT premium. Using Chrome counts as disabling uBlock Origin
EmperorHenry@discuss.tchncs.de 4 days ago
Also, don’t pay for youtube premium if they’re going to serve you ads either way
EmperorHenry@discuss.tchncs.de 4 days ago
Brave still allows uBO to work.

What is the benefit of premium if you still have to watch ads?

The second I get an ad on premium I cancel my subscription. Blocking ads on apple tv wasn’t easy, but Ill find a way

Get rid of the apple TV next if that doesn’t let you.

If it’s true and I get ads on my Premium (which… to be fair I’m not paying full price anyway 😅), it may be the last push I needed to finally start reading books again…
Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 4 days ago
raises the question why pay for premium
JackbyDev@programming.dev 3 days ago
YouTube ads cost about $0.026 (two and a half cents) per 30 seconds of viewing. This is called cpv.
It’s not fair that ss a viewer I’m not able to bid on my own to show myself an empty ad slot. I’m looking at the price of premium and it definitely seems like more revenue for YouTube than I’d give them from ads.
vordalack@lemm.ee 3 days ago
Books don’t have intrusive ads. Stop consuming YouTube slop.
RagingRobot@lemmy.world 3 days ago
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.
Treczoks@lemmy.world 4 days ago
What ads? (Firefox and adblocker)
Klnsfw@lemmynsfw.com 3 days ago
It’s probably a bug. And to excuse the devs at Youtube, this is the first and only Premium client.
bitwolf@lemmy.one 3 days ago
I get ads on premium sometimes. I think it’s a fluke but def unacceptable
LuuTuyen@lemmy.world 3 days ago
That’s why i never bought YouTube premium Seeing ads in premium is ridiclous, For fuck sake!
veganpizza69@lemmy.world 3 days ago
Check if you still have premium?
helloyanis@jlai.lu 3 days ago
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. Pick one!

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.
tomcatt360@lemmy.zip 4 days ago
Those are some preem ads, choom.
emrsmsrli@lemmy.world 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
Pika@sh.itjust.works 1 day ago
The only time I’ve had an ad on YouTube with premium 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.

I thought they didn’t target children with their ads. Did I imagine that or is a barbie a product aimed at adults in Germany?
nek0d3r@lemmy.world 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.
simplejack@lemmy.world 4 days ago
Probably the lower tier of premium that’s being tested in Germany.

Huh weird, the only reason to use Premium is to cut out the adverts.
“Would you like to buy Premium?” “Ooh, what do I get?” “YOU GET NOTHING! GOOD DAY SIR!”

Anivia@feddit.org 3 days ago
If Premium Lite was like described in the article, just ad free YouTube without other features like YouTube Music, but for half the price, then it would actually be a good deal
But since the user is getting ads it seems like something else
