I've had youtube premium for 2 years, but cut it off this month. I initially got it because of kobra kai, and thought there might be some other good shows and movies to watch (nope). Well anyway, I pay like $13 bucks a month, and while the benefits were intially decent (free google music streaming, some free movies to watch, shows etc), they gradually lost support to the point where I was basically paying for not watching ads.

And holy shit man its so fucking terrible.. Maybe things got a lot worse since 2 years ago.. I certainly didn't mind the ads back then.. But now, notably people that put in ads for ads for their user created videos putting ads every minute and half for 10+ minute videos is god damn insufferable. I can' even get through it. FB is annoying as it is with their videos too... But man youtube.. this just scummy.

How many people have youtube premium and think its actually worth paying $13, for basically only an add free experience?

I've had YouTube premium when it was still under the YouTube Red banner, so I'm grandfathered into the plan for $10 and that's exactly because of what you said: watching it on anything besides a browser without AdBlock is unusable.

Refusing a connection from an untrusted host is perfectly legitimate.

There's this neat thing called an adblocker, and if that still hasn't become apparent to you in 2021 you deserve every ad you sit through.

1. For fire stick and nvidia shield, use smart youtube tv
2. For phones and tablets use youtube vanced
3. For an adblocker on fire stick, use blokada

I got premium to watch some video then I forgot I had it until I canceled last month.

It feels like the ads are more ruthless than before I got premium. Nice try, Google.

I assumed that most people have fire tv sticks or nvidia shields by now.
