Fuck Subscriptions
Naming and shaming all "recurring spending models" where a one-time fee (or none at all) would be appropriate and logical.
Expect use of strong language.
Follow the basic rules of lemmy.world and common sense, and try to have fun if possible.
No flamewars or attacking other users, unless they're spineless corporate shills.
Note that not all subscriptions are awful. Supporting your favorite ~~camgirl~~ creator or Lemmy server on Patreon is fine. An airbag with subscription is irl Idiocracy-level dystopian bullshit.
New community rule: Shilling for cunty corporations, their subscriptions and other anti-customer practices may result in a 1-day ban. It's so you can think about what it's like when someone can randomly decide what you can and can't use, based on some arbitrary rules. Oh what, you didn't read this fine print? You should read what you're agreeing to.

Edit: I’m really sorry I just noticed that you posted this MONTHS ago. I’m an idiot
A lot of people watch videos on their phones, and ad-blocking is a lot more of a pain there. The official YouTube app is pretty much the only app on iOS that I know of and no ad-blocker works for that, I don’t think - though a good ad-blocker and Safari works quite well to watch YouTube on iPhone.
No real options on Apple TV though, that I know of.
uyou+extra is a custom youtube app for ios, so ios users can use that. It isn’t on the app store so you gotta sideload it via developer mode and a signing app.
Awesome, thank you for sharing! I'm going to look into this. Really appreciate it! <3
