Oof I think this service is only worth it if you have a family plan and everyone helping. That is how I personally make it reasonable in terms of pricing.

What is the point of Youtube Premium anyway?

[–] nefarious@kbin.social 22 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It means the creators I enjoy actually get paid, whereas with adblock they don't get any ad revenue.

[–] Kyrgizion@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The creators will see jack shit of that price increase. It's all going into exec's pockets. The smart ones all have Patreon or other ways of monetising their content anyway.

Sorry, I don't see what this has to do with my comment? I was answering the question "What is the point of Youtube Premium anyway?" and said nothing about the price increase.

[–] lowleveldata@programming.dev 9 points 1 year ago

I can skip the middleman and pay the creators via Patreon or whatever, no?

Block ads without having to use an AdBlocker, but like who doesn’t use an AdBlocker these days

On mobile it allows you to continue playing videos when you close the app

And a recent addition they’ve added to it for mobile is the ability to fucking queue videos

Hard to do from a game console or Chromecast, which happen to be the two methods I use most often for watching YouTube.

[–] JuvenoiaAgent@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

On my Chromecast, I use this wonderful app: SmartTube

[–] NightOwl@lemmy.one 3 points 1 year ago

If you got an apple device safari is fantastic when it comes to just air playing YouTube videos without ads. Sponsorblock extension works too and skips them. No messing around with third party apps installs.

Although, I'm not sure if consoles or chrome cast have airplay support.

[–] NightOwl@lemmy.one 4 points 1 year ago

Yeah, Adblocker is part of internet security. Just using a regular search engine these days can be risky with the sponsored links that can lead to people going to the wrong site.

I've had premium for so long now that I forget youtube has ads and when my friends try and play anything I am shocked at how shitty the experience is.

No ads on devices where you can't block ads (like WebOS or Tizen TVs), and cba to circumvent it with newpipe on android stick or something

Also youtube music for some people I guess

[–] rodrigoswz@lemdro.id 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

About WebOS: https://github.com/webosbrew/youtube-webos

Adblock + SponsorBlock, works great! I installed it using the Device Manager app instructions

[–] liontigerwings@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I don't know if new plans still come with YouTube music but mine does. That plus ad free YouTube on device.

You can download videos with it, which is quite useful for train rides or flights.
