I'm sure they are working on a youtube messaging app behind the scenes.

finally

This article is just a youtube premium ad 🤢

As far as what you get when you go Premium, you won't see any more ads within the app or the videos that you're watching. Plus, you'll gain access to background play, along with being able to download videos on the go. And perhaps what makes this plan even more worthwhile is that you get access to YouTube Music, which features over 100 million commercial free songs. Now, the one drawback is that these features don't come for free, with a subscription costing $13.99 per month in the US.

But premium doesn't have sponsorblock

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

YouTube is testing a feature where it'll pop up a button to intelligently skip ahead if you skip once, or so I've heard.

That sounds a lot like sponsorblock.

Though it won't be fully automatic.

I have premium and SponsorBlock. It doesn’t have to be all or nothing.

How does that work, do you still need revanced to modify the apk?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

I use uYouEnhanced on iOS. Also the actual SponsorBlock extension on Safari.

I would gladly pay for Premium if it actually gave you a decent user experience but it doesn't.

I use 3rd party apps because they don't fill my feed with garbage content. They just show me what I ask for.

Not to mention apps like GrayJay that integrate content from other sources in the same app.

Or that it YouTube does nothing about creators filling content with their own ads.

I was really interested in Nebula before I glanced at their privacy policy and realized that it has all the same data-mining and selling as every other modern web service.
