Are you on iOS or Android? I use Musi (iOS) and while it's geared more for music, you can still watch videos ad free.

Half the content of most YouTube videos now is just the creator reading ads anyway. Theyre inescapable.

Nah, use YoutubeVanced or Revanced. It's not worth giving Google money for fucking up their own service with ads.

Premium doesn't have sponsorblock, which trust me, it's the next best thing to ad blocking

It is socially acceptable to use an ad blocker.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

It's making its way across the entire spectrum of creators.

I'm mainly salty about all the beat writers I follow for admittedly valuable sports info. They're part of various networks and between their personal sponsor reads, the network's sponsors, each 45 min video is literally 25+ min of ad reads. Not even counting the YouTube ads every 5min.

Like at what point as a sponsor do you look at this level of saturation and realize no one could possibly listen to this show without elite skip skills and Adblock.

Don't reward them for increasing the number of ads. Their goal is to squeeze us until we pay for premium.

I mean, it's basically bullying, or even mob level racketeering at this point . 3 ads in the beginning of the video, an ad in the middle of a video, 2 ads immediately after the video ends especially if you forget to pause 1 second before so it doesn't trigger the ads...

My free trial ended a few days ago, and going back to having ads was a lot easier than I thought it'd be. Maybe it's just the people I watch, but I rarely have to deal with more than the 1 or 2 at the beginning of most videos, and 15-30 seconds isn't a big deal for me.

I've had it for a while, split with 3 people. I really enjoy it. For the ads, obviously on a computer it doesn't matter much, but on phone it helps. If you have Android you can use vanced, but the feature I really like is downloading videos to watch when I don't have data.

YouTube makes a music Playlist for me that I listen to but its annoying to have back to back ads after every song

You don't even need to view the desktop site. All that still works on the mobile site.

And a good thing, too. Whenever I need to watch Youtube on my phone, I always go through my browser. The app can go fuck itself.

For those that actually have youtube premium, can you change the layout of shorts or are you stuck with the overly cluttered layout that covers half the screen regardless if you pay or not?

Knowing I can adjust shorts layout is basically why I'd get it but it doesn't seem like paying for youtube gives that benefit so I might as well go with vanced

Ive been pimping this out for months but I dont know if anyone has actually taken me up on it since all the responses it get is, rofl paying for yt xd, but if you VPN to Argentina and sign up, you get Premium for less than a dollar. Ive been doing this for half a year now with no signs of stopping.

I watch a lot of YouTube on my phone and tablet, so this comes in super clutch for me.

I dont think the cost is the problem. Even if its just 1 dollar, people aren't gonna pay for something they can get for free.

Me I just want to be able to customize my YouTube layout on phone
