I'm watching YouTube on my Xbox, and for a 22 minute video, there's an ad at the beginning, and ads every 5 minutes during the video. It's kinda grating. How did I tolerate this in the cable era?

Does it not recognize Premium on the Xbox app? I watch it on Roku sometimes, and it doesn't have ads through that one.

I let it expire today because I was curious on how bad it gotten. I'll be renewing it tomorrow.

I'm aware some people don't want to do the same, but for me YouTube Premium has been worth it considering how much I use the site, especially with the horror stories I'm hearing about ads. Sucks it's practically unwatchable without it, but...

I used a VPN to get Youtube Premium from Argentina for like $3 a month. Well worth it.

I fly a lot or am in areas with rubbish 5G so the ability to download the videos to my phone is a god send. I probably spend way more time watching YouTube than all my other subscriptions combined so its an easy buy for me.

Doesn't YT Premium cost as much as Amazon Prime now?

That's kind of crazy just to remove ads. I got my PC hooked up to my TV so don't have to worry about it.

Do the terms of use change when you go premium?

I mean, since you're paying, they're no longer harvesting all you account and viewing data to sell to third parties? Or are you still the product?

Not if you use a VPN and sign up from either Turkey or Argentina. You don't even need to create a new account either. I signed up from Turkey and pay $3 a month for the family plan. Completely worth it since I don't need an ad-blocker on every single device I want to watch it on now. The US price for Premium is insanity though, and I'd never pay it if the other option wasn't available.

What VPN is that? Most of the free ones only give you like 500mb a day

You can use any that will get you one of those IP addresses. You only need it to initially sign up, you don't have to be connected to your VPN every time you use YouTube.

There are other benefits. I already mentioned one above.

The one downside is that ad blocking add-ons don't work for console or TV YouTube apps (and DNS blocking doesn't work because the ads are all served from YouTube's own server)
