Nah the fraudulence is on YouTube for charging so much here but not there.

Good. Pay the correct price of your country or deal with ads.

Bro, I cant even get mad, that shit was super fraudulent. But man, I watch the hell out of YouTube on my phone and tablet, I dunno if I can go back to ads.

Tbh I don't think it's much worse than getting ads forced down your throat unless you pay up, especially since this wasn't the case in the past.

I mean, if you're going to go through that kind of means to pay as little as possible, there's far easier means of paying zero.
This topic is so funny. Like adblockers exist and TC is lamenting over "defrauding" youtube lmao

The whole "set region to a place with monopoly money for currency" always seemed like a bad thing to do versus just running an ad blocker

Like that shit just eventually gets platforms to crack down, you're not being clever

To get around it don't you just use a VPN to watch from I think it's Macau? No ads there.

Its not just ads, I also have a blue collar job that involves doing monotonous shit thats juuust engaging enough to where I cant have my phone out watching a video, but braindead enough to where I can just vibe out with a video essay. Locking your phone and still having the video going in the background is a major thing I used Premium for. Its bullshit that its locked to Premium for something that simple, but also not having to worry about taking my phone out my pocket to skip them ads too is also a luxury I dunno if I can give up.
Yeah, there are far easier ways to do that, at least on Android. Thats what ReVanced is for. On iOS its more of a pain as I think you have to use iTunes to install AltStore, then use AltStore to install some YouTube Premium alternative. This should get better once the EU forces Apple to properly allow sideloading.

Largely depends on the VPN. PIA is fast for instance.

A company I worked with got blacklisted by Cisco for daring to import a couple of switches from the EU at a fraction of the cost instead of buying it from a disti in the UK. It was literally 80% cheaper. Whole world is fucked.

I tried multiple times to use that trick but I couldn't get it to work. I pay for a family plan with some friends, and yes it's expensive, but I watch hours of Youtube each day so it's really worth it to me.
How quaint.

PIA or NordVPN (and I'm sure others) are fast enough to stream video.

I can do this in a browser by setting the browser/tab to desktop mode.

I use premium so I can watch videos offline.

I use Nord. I'm going to try again. I just remember trying on Netflix and it wouldn't load anything.

idk, I do this on my Pixel 3a, using Brave Browser.

it has to be on Wi-Fi/using 5G and from the YouTube website rather than app, though.

Netflix has software to fuck with people on VPNs. If you have issues on Nord or PIA you best try to choose a different server and try again. Netflix is always looking for and killing access to VPNs. YouTube on the other hand does not care currently.

So far, Im still good. Id imagine my time will be running out soon.

Problem I have that neither AdBlock or ReVanced can solve: casting. I'm constantly Chromecasting YouTube and YouTube Music to my TV and kitchen speaker. Only way to do that ad-free is with Premium unfortunately.

The only way you know. You can block them trivially with stuff like a VPN.

I'd love to be proven wrong, but every fix I've tried still has ads that show up when casting even if they're blocked on the phone.

If the web traffic is running through the VPN then blocking the ad server's IP's would, by default, block it.

Though it would still leave iframes and the like.

Google's DNS for Google TV is hardcoded into the Chromecast so regardless of what's getting blocked on your phone, ads show up when casting. I just did another search and the only way to tackle this appears to be tinkering with one's router.

You keep on bringing up a phone as if it was the only thing that would be behind a VPN. Put your router behind it if that would work, you aren't required to have only your phone behind a VPN. Proxy servers were how people blocked ads back in the early 90's and they would still work now.

Acces youtube via your browser, set the tab to desktop mode and the videos will continue to play with the screen off. Still have to manually skip the ads. But I see far fewer of them in the browser than with their app. I've been doing it this way for years and now my head is filled with way too much 40k knowledge. I don't even play the game.

It's not a war crime the first time.

Np.

You can also do it with your router, but requires that you actually kind of know how to set up your router to do it.
