Who the fuck pays for YouTube Premium? Literally NewPipe/Tubular/PipePipe and all other FOSS apps with free Premium features exists.

I got a buddy of mine who spent thousands of dollars on a brand spanking new server just for Plex, and a 40 TB hard drive set up. A VPN, a gigabyte ethernet connection, and I spent the last year filling that hard drive up full of an exquisite collection of movies, television shows, documentaries, docu-series anime, comedy specials, so much stuff… the amount of time I spent in Photoshop creating custom collection posters for every library… I mean, I’m getting paid for this, too, but seriously…
And he still prefers to watch stuff from YouTube premium. I just don’t fucking get it. He says it’s because he’s “used to it“.

You should think about posting some of those images you made to themoviedb.org so that others can enjoy them.
shweddy@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Do you mind sharing at least a part of that exquisite movie list?

… and a 40 TB hard drive set up.
Pffft. Amateur.

Not on my TV, unfortunately :(
I’ve tried pihole and pfblocker and several forms of Adblock plus casting, and eventually decided it was worth the $. I’m not proud of it, but YouTube premium is my only paid streaming service.
CubitOom@infosec.pub 4 weeks ago
Smart TVs are dumb.
Get the oldest cheapest pc you can find (you may already have one in storage) and slap Linux on it and you’ll have a better experience.

I literally keep an Android TV box around for this reason. My smart TV is aging anyway and doesn’t have a Jellyfin app either - unless I compile it myself and then install it.

I pay for premium lite to support the creators I watch.

I pay nobody to use Firefox with uBlock Origin. 🤷♂️

Unfortunately, I desperately want to but the dev doesn’t want money
fuck_u_spez_in_particular@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Likely a legal issue.
Venat0r@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Unrelated 😉, is anyone working on Firefox for Android TV?
boonhet@sopuli.xyz 4 weeks ago
Have you updated it? That usually helps.

Yes…? YouTube wants to get paid. Companies pay YouTube to play ads. You pay YouTube not to play ads. If you do that, then the companies obviously won’t be paying for that. So either you pay or the advertisers pay. Mind blown!
chris@l.roofo.cc 4 weeks ago
Exactly. Someone has to pay for it. The infrastructure, the bandwidth the creator payouts. That all costs money. A lot of money. We can talk about if the cut Google takes is too big and if they could do with less ads or cheaper premium but someone has to pay something.
Also happy cake day.

Hey thanks, I had no idea!

It’s the taking of money for both and only doing one that’s the issue, friend. Breathe.
whatsisface@sh.itjust.works 4 weeks ago
Do they not get paid by advertisers per view? Wouldn’t they only ever get paid for for either premium or ads for a user, never both?
jonsnothere@beehaw.org 4 weeks ago
But they’re only getting paid by advertisers for actual ad views, so premium users don’t make them any money from advertising.
deegeese@sopuli.xyz 4 weeks ago
How about I just not pay youtube to not show ads?
fun_times@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
This is similar to the old Italian mercenary system. Get paid by one side to siege a city, then get paid by the other side to end the siege.
WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Maybe that’s what Trump’s trying to do with Netanyahu and Putin.
magnue@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Don’t forget that even if we do that we still have sponsored segments from the creators themselves. God forbid we go a single day without a product being shoved down our throat.
Luminous5481@anarchist.nexus 4 weeks ago
What’s this “we” bit? I’ve never paid them anything, and I still don’t see ads.
Gobbel2000@programming.dev 4 weeks ago
Which makes total sense given that video hosting is insanely expensive, especially at the scale at which YT is operating. I forget the exact number, but I heard that over half of the global internet bandwidth is used for video streaming from just a handful of websites.
That said though, I still choose Ublock Origin.
jnod4@lemmy.ca 4 weeks ago
What if half of our ISP bill went to subsidy websites based solely on how many megabytes/GBs you’re using towards or from a certain source.
Gobbel2000@programming.dev 4 weeks ago
I get the idea, but it seems hardly reasonable to pay companies for the bandwidth they use. Wouldn’t that incentivize wasting bandwidth?

YouTube revanced 👌👌 been having premium for 4 years lol

AdNauseam + SponsorBlock works wonders.

uBlock Origin and Revanced go brrrrr
cRazi_man@europe.pub 4 weeks ago
Gray Jay with Sponsorblock included is the best.

Yondoza@sh.itjust.works 4 weeks ago
Noob here, what does revanced do?
bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 4 weeks ago
Revanced is the normal YouTube app on Android along with a ton of patches on top to add great features or get rid of annoying ones. You need the ReVanced Manager to patch the YouTube app.
