What the heck is this "Youtube Premium"?

All I ever know was uBlock Origin.

At what point do content creators stop creating content for this?

We are just one step away from YouTube being a paid only service.

People who use premium should organize to vow to publicly shame and boycott any company putting adds in their premium plan.

Like anti commercials.

Fun thing, I don't want to get YouTube Premium because YouTube has a huge bunch of bugs and glitches and crap UI design and since they're the only service in the niche there's been no indication they'll ever fix their shit.

I didn't care about YouTube Music, so losing ads on stock YouTube apps was literally the only reason I was even considering getting Premium.

But if it doesn't even do the one job...?

That’s fine, at least they just increased the family plan pricing by 60%. Oh, wait.

They are diversifying their plans to enhance user experience or some bullshit

[–] Daveyborn@lemmy.world 24 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Is it a slow rollout or a experimental update thing? I don't have it on mine.

[–] Kit@lemmy.blahaj.zone 47 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Only in Germany in a test of a lower Premium plan so far.

What's the point of paying for YouTube Premium if you get ads anyway?

[–] sepiroth154@feddit.nl 41 points 3 days ago (8 children)

You get amazing features like: background play (which is more of an annoyance), remember where i left off (which doesnt work whatsoever, even 5 years after it was first released), download video's to watch offline (you need to remember to download them first or hope that YouTube's recommendation algoritm didnt pick videos you've already wachted) oh, and you can get a slightly higher bitrate for 1080p. So basically it loses all value.

Yea, but your β€œdownload” f**ing expires! So it’s useless when you go somewhere with no internet.

Executive bonuses, of course. Won't you think of the poor millionaires?

Part 1: All of history from corporations becoming a thing to present day.

Part 2: The results of heartless corporate policy for the foreseeable future.
