Google is using AI to create posters and write ads in the form of topics and shill posts

It's going too far

Other than no ads, what does it do?

You also get access to YouTube Music (there's a separate app you can download too). It's good if you don't have Apple Music or Spotify. If you do subscribe, make sure you use a VPN to sign up from Turkey or Argentina. I pay about $3 a month USD after signing up for the family plan in Turkey (although there will be a price increase to $4 a month beginning next month). You only need the VPN to register for Premium, you can use your current YouTube account too, you don't need to create a new one. After you sign up you won't need the VPN anymore.

You still have sponsors.
Easily skippable. Still no downside to Premium

I get no ads on iOS without paying for premium. Paying for it YouTube premium is like giving my money away for free.

YouTube does not have enough quality content to justify me spending the price of a Netflix subscription just to remove ads. Particularly when I can do that for free, perfectly legally, but also if I could not.

YouTube Music streams at a lower rate than free Spotify, so it isn't for me.

It's only $14 a month which isn't bad at all. There's also a 1 month free trial period. Try it out and you won't go back to free youtube.
Really, $14 a month for a service that doesn't make the bulk of their content? That's an absurd price. That's $168 for a year. Give me $5 a month that doesn't have their music or self made movies and maybe I'd actually consider it.

I'd rather put in the little bit of effort it takes to keep on top of their attempts to stop ad blocking. Especially with them working so hard to earn my spite.

What websites do you visit to get that many >_>

Like I said that is just from Youtube. Currently on my liked videos list at Youtube uBlock is sitting at 21K (21,000) blocked ads/items.

Folks give it up as it is painfully obvious around here that some people just can't be told, have more money than sense and would rather piss away their money on a shit service like Youtube Premium created by a greedy company that doesn't give a shit about you billion dollar company in Google than do what us smart people with brains do and that is use our browsers with ad blockers installed.

Oh look Billyionaire I can watch 1080p/4K videos for nothing or listen to the perfectly acceptable music videos on Youtube for bugger all as I have uBlock. Ad Block, Sponsor Block, Ad Blocker For Youtube and Privacy Badger stuffed into Firefox desktop. I see ads nowhere on the internet.

I mean....if you watch a lot of YT, it is worth it.
Hardly any of the content in YT is worth paying for honestly. I would rather support the few creators who interest me directly.

For people wondering.....

It's worth it if you pretty much live on YouTube. I have a feeling the people who call people like me a shill, probably do not use YouTube even remotely close to as much as I do. I have it on almost 24 7 sometimes. I sleep with it on. I like to listen to long OneyPlays videos as I fall asleep

It's a small fee for a very freeing experience

I havent seen an ad on YouTube in 7 years.

Buddy got on the family plan when it was Google music and added me.

That's the best way to do it IMO. Everyone chips in 3 bucks a month and you're done.

No ads, extra content, playable while your screen is off, YouTube music.

I watch my news and often watch documentaries and biographies on YouTube. It's the most no brainer of streaming services for me.

Use NewPipe or something similar instead of paying for YouTube Premium.

No ads plus no tracking by Google at no charge to you.

Is the experience with Premium different from the experience with a functioning adblocker?

I mean, even if you have Premium, you're still using adblockers for other sites.

Aren't you?

If you're not getting promoted, it's not because you're not good at your job. It's because you're good at ONLY your job.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

YouTube Music streams at a lower bitrate than even the free version of Spotify.

So you aren't really getting what you get from Apple or Amazon (both a lot cheaper), never mind Quobuz and Tidal.

What kind of YouTube content is exclusive to subscribers?

I have never read so much bullshit in my life!

Let me translate @Zikten post for you folks: "I am being paid by Google to say that"! "Also I have no idea how to install an Ad Blocker"! "Also I would rather piss away my money and give it to a greedy multi-billion dollar corporation in Google"!

Is that translated correctly Zikten?

Er Zikten I am one of Youtube's most prolific users. I currently have FOUR tabs up on Youtube. I couldn't live without Youtube. I do not need disgusting penny pinching shit like Premium because my Ad blockers give me EVERYTHING on Youtube for free!
