YouTubes going full send on the 90+ second ads now with no skips

[Deltron]

I don’t have Netflix or any other streaming service but YT music is just as meaningful for me. There’s songs on YT not on spotify or Apple or whatnot.

nice feature of YT music is also being able to uplaod your own shyt.

nikkas installing 33 apps just to block ads

folks paying an ad company 15 dollars per month to not get ads... and still getting ads

Price go up, still get ads


I'll install those free apps and read on how to use them properly thank you very much

 

[Mrhateeverything]

Good watch ads .
Pay for it or don't complain

I'd cancel every other subscription service before I cancel YouTube premium. It's goated

 

[Rice N Beans]

Google repeatedly tanks the service, injects nonsense ads and poisons your recommends, and then people still willingly fork over the money for a tier that is to be abused at Google's discretion?

I have been ad free YT since forever. Only times I came across ads are devices I don't own or control. You couldn't get me to pay for their continued malpractice.

 

[MJ Truth]

With all the different tools, addons, and apps there is no reason in 2026 you should be complaining about Youtube ads.
I have not seen a Youtube ad since like 2015 and have never had Premium.

And YouTube Premium is only about $15 a month, there's really no excuses at all, because if you can't afford $15 then you don't need to be spending your time on YouTube anyway.

If Google doesn't keep that platform up those people can't make a living. Google pays those creators with about half those funds.

If you're gonna shaft them don't pin it on Google pin it on the fact that you're an entitled a$$hole who has no problem consuming what they make and paying them nothing for it.

You just using Google to smooth over the cognitive dissonance of screwing them over. If you have an issue with Google you could not use their platform.

If you wanna pay creators, pay them directly.

I ain't giving shady ass google a dime!

I also use Youtube for music, a lot of unreleased stuffs over there you won't find on Spotify

 

[jilla82]

not having YT premium in 2026 is WILLDDDDD

 

[African Peasant]

Like…. LOVE! Then justify it with some BS. Shout out to indoctrination since youth.

You see those cats BRAGGING because they are giving a MULTI BILLIONS giga corporation money

Thats gotta be a Coli yt premium gang gang member

 

[85 East]

You mean you give them money? Like actual like billing?

I do. Youtube add free, plus Youtube music for the same price as Spotify or less. Gotta make sure there are no interruptions when Ms. Rachel is on.

But you'll use shady ass Google's platform and circumvent any means of the creators on it getting paid for your view.

It's like if you could take an Uber get the ride to where you're going then not pay and blame it on Uber the giant corporation that shouldn't earn a dime. You still stiffing the driver.

You know damn well you don't carry all these patreon sub for all these creators. A YTP sub is the simplest way to assure they get something from your view.

 

[Phantum]

SmartTube users don't have these problems



But yeah it's egregious.
