The moment I get ads in my Youtube Premium, it's done with Youtube Premium, and done with Youtube.

I don't think I specifically posted about it on lemmy but yeah, I also concluded youtube would be going further 'pay to win' around this time 2 years ago.
Twitch will keep getting more and more monetized / ad heavy as well, until it just gets shutdown.
I'll be amazed if it still exists by the end of 2026.
The guy who took this screenshot and posted it to Reddit likely has Premium Lite, which still shows ads on music videos. The title of the video is probably cut out to hide it.
I think you are right. And the OP look like they are in Germany where they are testing these plans. https://www.theverge.com/2024/10/17/24272930/youtube-cheaper-premium-lite-subscription-limited-ads
Premium Lite is hilarious branding. "Oh, it's high quality, but like, less. Quality Lite"
It's like when they sell a medium pizza but no small. Bitch, you can't have "medium" if you don't have a small and large to compare it to!
Actually I don't know if it's like that at all...
"All animals are born equal, but some are born more equal than others"
Oh, it’s high quality, but like, less. Quality Lite
Please sir, may I have some quality less?

A story in three parts: get an adblocker, problem solved
Better: quit youtube premium, get an adblocker and live life hassle free
Best: Download it with Jdownloader, pay for the bandwidth once, build a library.
Never heard of Jdownloader, does it offer any benefits over yt-dlp?
Don't know, I haven't used YTD in a long while.
Why would you pay for YouTube and then get an ad blocker? Seems redundant.
Also, YouTube has begun integrating ads server side, making them more difficult to parse out.
I don’t have premium I just have an ad blocker
Smart
"You've got to support the creators"
I spend so much money on Patreon and I never regret a penny of it

Alright where are all the YouTube premium apologetics that keep appearing everytime someone discusses any sort of Ad-blocker?! What do you guys have to say now?!
No ads so far here but I definitely will cancel Premium if I start seeing ads. That’s literally the only thing I’m paying for.
Same. No ads yet but will cancel and delete if they start showing up.
Been slowly moving over to Nebula anyway.
As long as it have good value to me I will use it. The same as with other services.
The thing is I don't mostly mind paying for having YouTube without ads, but I would prefer if it didn't have anything to do with Google in the first place.
I would prefer it not be owned by Google as well, though that wouldn’t really change the economics of the situation.

I heard tell from a Gen Xer who said cable TV used to not have ads.
Our national tv channel is lawfully barred from running commercials.
They just changed the definition of ads they run to "messages of commercial importance" or some dumb shit like that. And just like that, ads on the national channel are suddenly a-ok
PBS here has ads. They are short, but there are ads nonetheless. This is over and above the ads for their own shows that will be on the channel at a later date.
And some people argue against the death penalty. Argh.
