More than you think, actually. My wife recently signed up. I'm like, Babe! I already have uBlock Origin to block ads on desktop! On mobile, Firefox also blocks ads and allows listening to videos with the screen off. π«
But, we still get ads on our smart LG TV. So. That's apparently enough to throw the money away.
It's okay to pay for a service that you use daily.
I don't, but I disagree it's "to throw money away".
Especially if you can finagle a subscription out of one of the cheaper countries, too!
Exact same story. It's frustrating.
We csncelled all streaming and use plex but we watch too much YouTube and am tired of having to keep up with versions of pirate apps every time they break. I already deal with having to keep patching the newest youtube apk with vanced on my phone. Not gonna bother for all the other devices.
Look into getting SmartTube for the TV. Works pretty great for me
I was paying for it until it got to like $16.99 on iOS. As much of an annoyance to use a work around like AD Guard. I can now afford it but refuse to give those greedy mofos a dime.
That is because you are paying for the premium of signing up through ios; apple takes a cut so to make money they raise the rates. It's extremely common signing up to any service through ios, that you will be charged higher than if you went to the website on your browser and sign up for it there. First link has link to Hank Green who does a great break down and investigation but provided many more examples.

Apple fan boys down voting me? I make a valid point with proof without bashing apple products and even a solution to get the same rates as everyone else and i get down voted. That makes sense...
Is that why I am getting about one ad for every 90 seconds of video ?
Is that how bad it is? Fuck...
Just recently it has gotten worse. The good thing is that I don't watch TV at all any longer because I used youtube. Now I'm watching less youtube AND no TV so win win for my free time.
I'd try it if they finally offered us a one year subscription period here in europe. they don't. their loss π€·ββοΈ
My girlfriend said the same thing about Korea. Google keeps getting in their own way of selling a good service
That actually makes more sense to me compared to most premium features. Higher quality directly costs more money to stream.
Cancelled YouTube Premium, YouTube TV, and Netflix this month. Prime is up next. Will keep Spotify unless they decide to jack rates up again soon.
Spotify is an evil company. They've started adding fake songs in to pay themselves instead of paying royalties to real artists.
Yeah, I agree about them being evil. Unfortunately, I got outvoted on which services to keep.
YouTube already randomly drops me to 360p on my big-ass broadband sometimes because it just feels like it. What are the guarantees YouTube Premium won't do that? ANSWER ME YOUTUBE, THIS IS CRUCIAL PRE-PURCHASE INFORMATION.
If your internet is flaky, thereβs nothing YouTube can do about it. The alternative would be waiting for the video to buffer at 1080p.
On mobile, many videos will start at 720 and I have to specifically select a higher resolution but it will stay there. It will have me wait for buffering if my internet isn't capable but it won't drop the resolution.
On pc it remembers the resolution you set last.
I pay for premium but would love to use peertube instead since it's decentralized. It would be great to have all the people I sub to upload there as well then I'd bail.
As with most things in the modern world that have gone to shit. It is not the monetization scheme in of itself that is the issue. It is the never ending desire for more profit this quarter than last forever.
If it was acceptable to stop trying to make even more once the cost to operate is covered and some healthy profit is made predictably then a lot less people would have issues. And enshitification would slow down.
I don't care that enhanced Bitrate is premium only. I do care that you still need to click "advanced resolution settings" to access this even for premium users on mobile.
I paid for premium recently which helps a bit except now the problem is a lot of the content I watch ppl are doing sponsored segments which I get but at the same time fuck off.
Last I heard it also pays the creators more per view than standard Adsense, and a portion of each individual subscription is always divided among creators you watch. This info could be out of date.
