  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.

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

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

    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“.

      Do you mind sharing at least a part of that exquisite movie list?

      You should think about posting some of those images you made to themoviedb.org so that others can enjoy them.

    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.

      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.

  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!

    It’s the taking of money for both and only doing one that’s the issue, friend. Breathe.

      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?

    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.

  How about I just not pay youtube to not show ads?

  What’s this “we” bit? I’ve never paid them anything, and I still don’t see ads.

  AdNauseam + SponsorBlock works wonders.
