decided I’ve watched enough ads and finally bought youtube premium today, major life upgrade
How much are you watching normally? I’ve considered it for a minute
I'm biased but YT Premium is definitely worth it both for the lack of ads and the background playing on mobile. I'm not a big YT user but love having those features when I do use it.
I’ve oddly reversed and started paying attention more to the ads in my feed to better understand marketing lol
They increased the ads lately. Also now if you don't hit skip and the ad ends then it adds time to the countdown.
been a sub for like since day 0. ps: i was a rapidshare maxi.
It is helpful also cause now you can play music in background
Nice!! YT premium is singlehandedly the best ROI of all my media subscriptions. With the downloads with background playing 😮💨. It is the number one contributor to my increased consumption of long form interviews. Very well done sir 👏🏾
I’ve been using Youtube Premium for more than 3 years and I cannot imagine my life without it. And I’m a heavy Youtube user 😁
FWIW you also get YouTube Music, which actually isn’t bad.
Pro Tip, buy it with a VPN set to Argentina. It's only 1$ per month then.
Definitely one of those money decisions that make life vastly easier
Don’t you find so many YT creators insert ads into their content anyway?
Has anybody felt over the last years that YouTube tried to make the free option more and more clunky? Like Spotify. Freemium models are tricky…
Or you can use the Brave browser. I haven't seen a YouTube ad for 8 months.
Brave will block youtube ads the adblocker and exists outside of the extension realm. Youtube will be powerless against such tactics as modded browsers if ppl are willing to do that. Not to mention, on mobile modded apps even auto skip in-video ads not even premium will offer that.

If you like music you can download for offline use. Also any YouTube video. Plus not a single ad 💪
took me so long but i finally did it too it unlocked a new form of consumption for me -- podcast-like content (some interviews, guides, tutorials, walkthroughs) that isn't indexed on podcasting providers, but that I still want to listen to while i'm running
