    Probably the lower tier of premium that’s being tested in Germany.

      Huh weird, the only reason to use Premium is to cut out the adverts.

      “Would you like to buy Premium?” “Ooh, what do I get?” “YOU GET NOTHING! GOOD DAY SIR!”

      If Premium Lite was like described in the article, just ad free YouTube without other features like YouTube Music, but for half the price, then it would actually be a good deal

      But since the user is getting ads it seems like something else

        Yes, but this is german and in Germany most TV is free with ads or paid without ads.

          No, most TV in Germany is either paid and with ads (ARD, ZDF, or private stations with HD+) , or free and with even more ads (RTL, Pro7 etc. in SD resolution). Paid TV without ads (Sky) is only used by a small minority

          And the few ad supported stations that are free are only free if you use Satellite TV, half of Germany still uses cable TV and has to pay a monthly fee to Vodafone for those, in addition to our broadcasting fees that everyone has to pay

            Okay, it is possible to get them for free (except the ÖR which I forgot, because the fee is mandatory for each household) which is what I meant but yes, there are lots of ads, but american TV also has I would say as many ads.

        I went to a Regal Cinema for the first time a few months ago and they played 20 minutes of ads that began at the advertised movie start times. Insane.

          Was that the first time you’ve ever been to the movies? It’s been like that for decades. Always go in 20 minutes after the start time.

        If you use something Android based for watching YouTube on the TV (some TVs, fireTV stick, etc.), you can: https://github.com/yuliskov/SmartTube?tab=readme-ov-file

        I haven’t watched a single Ad on YouTube on TV (SmartTube), mobile (ReVanced), or PC (Firefox + uBlock origin) since it became unbearable… five years ago or so?

          Even on an iPhone, you can use vinegar to block YT ads. Or Firefox Focus.

            +1 for Vinegar. My only real complaint is that I use Firefox as a daily driver, and Vinegar only works with Safari. Even though Firefox is using the Safari engine under the hood on iOS, (because Apple doesn’t allow third party browser engines like Firefox’s Gecko, and forces everyone to use WebKit instead,) it doesn’t support Safari extensions.

            I’m fine with switching to Safari to watch YouTube… But since Firefox is my default browser, YouTube links automatically open in Firefox. There isn’t a way to specify that I want everything except YouTube to open in my default browser.

              I feel you! Firefox Focus is my daily driver, but occasionally its adblocking doesn’t work on YouTube so I have to manually open it in Safari :c

        SmartTube for TV and ReVanced/uYouPlus for Andriod/IOS devices. SmartTube can be tricky to set up depending on the TV, but the mobile apps are relatively simple to get working.

          There is no ReVanced or uYouPlus for iOS. You have to sideload that shit, cuz YouTube is too far up Apple’s ass for them to allow something like that on the App Store.

          Ironically, they allow Vinegar. But only because it’s a Safari extension (and Apple likes when people use Safari more than they like the money from YouTube.)

          And then you’re stuck constantly reminding every family member which app to use on which device when they come to you because they’re getting ads or something isn’t working right.

          For a single power use that’s fine, for a family with kids, it’s nearly impossible without going crazy and killing them.

        They do, and based on reported stats it gets them more per viewer. No idea if anybody’s audited those stats though

          Not sure about currently but at least a year or two ago creators could see the split of premium views & income vs free views and income and premium views always paid out more

            They still can. Whether premium or ad supported views pays more depends on the channel and the value of the adverts that are streamed on it. For channels / topics that advertisers are keen to appear on the ad supported views pay more, for more niche interests the premium views pay more.

      Sideload the uYou+Extras app on your iPhone and then just use AirPlay to watch youtube videos on apple TV. Gets around adverts 99% of the time. Sometimes one will slip through, just close the video and reopen it and it’ll not have an advert anymore.

        At least for me it doesn’t keep autoplaying videos/going to next video on Youtube (probably a setting I could change somewhere). Grayjay is pretty handy for other media platforms as well.

        Am I just an idiot or is Yattee basically unusable?

            I want Yattee to succeed. When I could get it to work (like 5% of the time), it was refreshing that I was searching for and finding my own videos, not just being distracted by and fed the YouTube algorithm.

      My premium is about to run out, and I had solutions for both my TV and phone via my TV’s homebrew store and ReVanced. Didn’t know that Brave just completely shut down ads on iPad, though. Amazing tip, thanks a bunch!

          Maybe they’re premium ads because the advertisers pay extra for access to a pool of self-selected suckers.

    If it’s true and I get ads on my Premium (which… to be fair I’m not paying full price anyway 😅), it may be the last push I needed to finally start reading books again…

      Hey, so I canceled my YouTube Premium subscription a couple of months back and decided to pick up reading instead. It’s a different kind of entertainment, but I’m actually really enjoying it. I’ve been finding some really great books, and I’m finding it just as hard to put them down as I used to find it hard to stop binge-watching my favorite channels.

        I did it! Canceled Premium!

        I thought maybe to change it to a sub to Nebula or something… but then I realized it’d be like trading heavy cigarette smoking for heavy vape smoking.

        Now begins the « ween the brain off overstimulation » phase 😅

          You mean on android mobile? Firefox for Android has a extension that works nicely to allow you to play e.g. youtube videos in the background: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/video-background-play-fix/

          For iOS though I’ve got no idea, sorry :(
