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!"

Imagine paying money to see 2 fucking ads before a video.
As another reply said already
Imagine cable tv! (in the US at least, and, it seems, Canada, too)
It is so absurd until you realize people already accepted that shit.. wtf!!!

Fucking called it
The only benefit now, but what if they start to serve 30 non-skippable ads without premium and ONLY 5 with premium, what a deal! Right?
the “lesser evil” strategy is so hot rn
Does lemmy have agedlikewine and agedlikemilk?

Firefox with ad blocker? You are wasting your money.
My wife uses a TV to watch YouTube, My kid uses a phone, My other kid uses a tablet.
Saying just use ad block isn't feasible for everyone.
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?

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.

It used to be free AND ad-free.
Do creator even get any real amount of money from the money collected through premium?
Buying premium seems like the dumbest shit imaginable to me.
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

Ugh, you didn't even pay for Premium Plus?
Bloody peasant...
And this is why i,won't start paying them money. They will never be content and will just keep pushing ads further and further.
Yeah the price will increase or ads or both. But it never just stops. It's never enough

This is why you get anti-anti-adblock userscripts in tampermonkey inside of your browser and/or the same inside of adguard for windows. Along with an adblocking DNS
Give them an inch and they'll take 1000 miles. No more money for google, ever.
Don't disable uBlock Origin, even when you have YT premium. Using Chrome counts as disabling uBlock Origin
Also, don't pay for youtube premium if they're going to serve you ads either way

I feel like you don't fully understand that the line can go up. At the expense of everything...
Line MUST go up.
What is the benefit of premium if you still have to watch ads?

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..

these posts are just getting ridiculous. USE. BRAVE. OR. FIREFOX.
YouTube ads cost about $0.026 (two and a half cents) per 30 seconds of viewing. This is called cpv.
It's not fair that ss a viewer I'm not able to bid on my own to show myself an empty ad slot. I'm looking at the price of premium and it definitely seems like more revenue for YouTube than I'd give them from ads.
