YouTube is reportedly testing a feature that prevents users from using ad blockers on the platform.

The best part about YouTube premium is you can keep YouTube on even when your phone screen is off so you can listen to music or podcasts from YouTube while you are walking around or in your car.

You can do that without premium.

I copped that YouTube Premium a few years ago. Y’all will fold eventually.

Youtube premium is the adblocker I use, so as long as they don't block that, i'm good.

Only ad i've seen is the one for pink horse power
"SHE WANNA BE FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE"

Me too. It’s the goat.

Broke boys gonna be mad though lol

Just get YouTube premium. It's not that much and it's 10 times better.

I think it's better than having to deal with ads.

You can get ad-free content with the feature of turning off the screen while playing videos (plus many other features) for free by using the NewPipe app

Also, you wouldn't be supporting an evil soulless corporation, or in Coli terms, be a c00n

For the longest time I didn't even know YouTube had ads because I automatically got YouTube premium from my old Google Play Music subscription. Watching YouTube while not logged in is awful, nonstop ads and horrible recommendations

 

[Mrhateeverything]

Good, people should pay for it or watch ads. Simple concept

Yt premium best subscription service. I pay for it gladly. Have the family plan and 5 family members of mine get a profile(they don't have to live at same address either) . Split it with homies or fam. Plus youtube music to top it off. Worth it

The newest version of Brave plays it without doing anything. I know it won't work sooner or later, but for now whether you turn the phone off or go to the home screen the vid dtill plays.

Also in 2023 how fukking stupid is it that this is supposed to impressive. I lowkey hate YouTube for all this stupid nonsense.

Youtube is the only website I use adblock for.

• 15 second ad for a 20 second video
• two unskippable 5 second ads back to back
• ads will play in the middle of a song
• unskippable, unbelonging ads play during an intense video that completely ruins the momentum
• used to have a lot of hour-long ads anytime I watched a long video

The only thing worse than Youtube ads are the ones from certain sites that pause if you try to leave the tab, but that'll probably be Youtube soon.

Now this will set a lot of people off

exactly Youtube is unwatchable they have several ads in even short videos. nikkas are gonna start discovering New Pipe and Anime pipe.

 

[Sad Bunny]

Brokies in here really typing paragraphs over a $10 a month subscription

 

[Breh13]

Minor. Someone will figure out a workaround.

I don’t use YouTube enough to get 5 ads in a 10min video.

PC will always have a work-around.

Brave Browser on mobile solves most issues, although you lose some features.

Honestly, just use a VPN and buy foreign Premium for a dollar. You should be doing this for most streaming services, anyway.

 

[Matt504]

Premium user here, I cannot relate.

 

[AquaCityBoy]

I got Premium

 

[Hersh]

do it. it will push development for better ad blocking and mods.
