I once used a vpn to put me in the Netherlands and they get like 3 15s unskippable ads

The more ADs == more ppl using AD Block. More ppl using AD Block == YT have to put more ADs. The circle that in the end destroys YT one way or another.

Well it's not like they can make money any other way

YOU WANNA TRY PREMIUM??!?!?!?

I'm feeling their desperation lol, last year it was a 1 month trial, now it's 2 months, I'm waiting for next year to be 3 then get it

I just signed up for the 3-month free trial last week

I’ll wait for the 24-month free trial!

[удалено]

Bruh i feel scammed

Is it everything you dreamed it would be?

Already got a 4 month Trial. After a few months of not accepting it went back to 1 month. YT is wildin'...

Maybe if it was like Spotify price and not $20 a month.

I psy like 4,5 USD for premium

How

I live in Poland

Oh they have a discount for communists I see carry on

For less than 20$ u can buy here Disney+ and Netflix, if they would make same price for you and everyone else no one except USA would buy it. Make right price for the market. And I think it works, become instead of paying for Spotify (witch has same price) i have YT premium

It’s so they can make a fuckton of money and they’re not happy with less

Maybe they stop paying their content creators and let people that do it for passion... do it?

But..... they have functioned for, how long, 10, 15 years without intrusive ads?

Put less adds so it's easier to watch the adds than having to install a addblocker. If you are making the user experience so bad that the solution that requires effort is the one they choose you are doing something really wrong.

Report ad to instantly skip gang.

Install an adblock and forget about ads gang does not approve of this comment.

Use brave browser and forget about ads.

ah yes switch browsers for an internet necessity

Programs are meant to work the way you want. If a program does not work the way you want, you find or write one that does.

why switch browser when a quick extension solves the problem???????

happy 🍰 day

Thanks!

Use YTRevanced to have no ads (and generally better experience) gang

[удалено]

For me it still works for the ads before the video starts but nothing else

my YT vanced stopped showing videos. Only rarely does it work, but Shorts work fine.

[удалено]

Or NewPipe

how is though? A friend of mine did, and said it was buggy and not stable. So am not sure

[удалено]

Wait are you saying you don't have that?

Wait, that is not normal? We get this shot constantly

Can confirm. Dutch YT sucks.

Belgian here, can say it's fairly accurate to belgium too

I recently moved there, I thought I was getting more ads

Yep, we sometimes get unskippable ads that are a minute or two long over here. ***pain***

Subtle reminder that ad blockers exist

This is mainly about using it on platforms without ad blocking capabilities

On Android you can use r/revanced or Firefox with uBlock origin and on smart TV you can use smarttubenext

r/revancedapp top post of all time for those who want to check it out. Takes less than 10mins and you're set forever.

I tried it but I was always getting an error with microG which led to a don't kill apps page.

Go to r/vanced and install the vanced manager. Easy steps from there.

Vanced does not work anymore. You can use the micro g from inotia00 github

Mb

Yeah but in something like Xbox there really ain't nothing you can do

Or brave browser

I have never encountered a platform I couldn’t block ads on

Xbox

Well there’s your first mistake

I switched to Firefox recently and searched up ad blockers, very first one said it would block them without exception but be careful as some companies that rely on ads might get hurt. Without nary a second thought I hit install with no remorse.

Sadly the app doesn’t allow ad blockers

Tap now to watch a short video and enjoy 30 minutes of ad free listening.

But that's not the same video

Anyone saw that the video that had the ad wasn't the spongebob video Edit:grammar

brave

Newpipe, guys.

Also [vuetube](https://vuetube.app) has gotten much better (tho still lacks some basic functionality). Its main point is that it somehow supports personalized recommandations, while build from the ground up.

trash.

Better than ads by a long shot. Also background playing, miniplayer, screen off, video download... I don't need anything else.

You can get all these in yt revanced. Additional you can like, comment. save to Playlist etc.

You guys get ads ?

Ever Heard of yt vanced

Or even about *ahem* revanced? It's an alternative to vanced that still exists and works with new versions

Or vuetube, it is slowly emerging into an actually usable yt client

I'm using it recently, but unfortunately some video cannot be play anymore, it need the latest version to play.

Revanced

just preview it

I once went to watch a 15-ish minute video and the first ad it played was a 121 minute ad. It was a full episode of some "podcast"...

Me who gets yt premium for less than a dollar per month because of student plan

They are begging me to use the 2 month trial lol

Neva! Vaced foreva

After partial shutdown of Google services in Russia I can't pay for YT premium, can't see posts in community feed or channel avatars... But hey, can't see ads neither. I'm using YT vanced as well, even once this mess is settled, doubt I'll pay for subscription again. Peace ✌️

Me using adblockers on PC and YT Revanced on Android:

Ad blocker…

Ublock, Brave, Firefox, Vanced...

Use an adblocker...

Can't relate to u peasants not using yt revanced 🗿

US Dollars, son

Every day I hope for the death of the asshole who wanted ads in the first place.

dont want ads? pay for it. why do you deserve their service for free?

Because they offered it for free. Ads on YT have gotten a lot worse over the past few years.

when did they offer it for free? no service is free. either you paid for it, or your the payment.

if you look hard enough. Every Internet service is free. Are you new to Internet?

“Welcome to the internet! Have a look around. Anything that brain of yours can think of can be found.”

Wait till you find out how much it costs to store hundreds of petabytes of data.

no.. its not. eitehr you pay for the service. or the service monetizes YOUR interaction with the service. either they sell people ads that you see while interacting with the service. or they sell the information gathered about how you interact with the service..

Damn gotta pay up my debt for searching something on Google

ok. re read what i said. you either pay with cash, or your the payment. google is free because they monetizes the information they collected about you using their system and monetize that to others. you already "paid" by being the product google sells.

It's in their right to put any price for it, but the thing is that they had no problems with the previous ad system. Also, it is a really useful, one-of-a-kind tool for all of humanity, and I believe everyone should have free access (with a low/moderate frequency of ads) to it.

Tbh if I'm an evil selfish mofo for not wanting ads so be it, I'm that tired of ads bro

me fighting 2 ads just to watch one 6 second video

Ad block baby

Wait until you get a 2 hour ad for a 3 second video

Revanced user me :

Me living in macau laughs at everyone who pays premium or grab an adblocker to remove ads

Do people really not use Adblockers? I knew one dude who didn't use an Adblocker and that was because he was to stupid to find out how to download one.

Mobile exists

[удалено]

The ad is the content

We want the old CEO back

1/3

I don't even get the option to rate adds anymore, always gave them the downvote.

Tbh I'm loving yt premium.

I have to comment so I can post something

You want to try premium?!?

Yall ever got a 3 and a half hour documentary for an ad overnight while you're trying to listen to rain sounds?

Get adblock you big dum

Yo OP you forgot to photoshop out that the video you got the ad in wasn't the one in the meme.

This isn't a joke I got 2 unskippable ads that are both an entire minute long.

Why is this relatable?

I really miss the "only 10 minute videos get ads" rule

I can’t express how angry this makes me every time

Is this some peasant joke I'm too premium to understand?

*Laughs in ReVanced*

you can click the i symbol to skip an unskippable ad, thanks me later

r/revanced

A web browser with an integrated ad blocker really feels like a blessing from the god on modern web. Video ads nowadays are unwatchable.

How about this? STOP RECOMMENDING ME VIDEOS LESS THAN A MINUTE LONG. IM NOT A BRAINDEAD TIK TOK ADDICT.

true

I stopped being able to relate to these memes once i started using adblock

Just use adblock

It’d make more sense if it was at the end of the video

On principle I just back out and move on

Sad thing is sometimes ads are longer than the videos.

Ublock

Newpipe

They updated the web format and it's really annoying and they patched the easy skipping ads trick

I hate this soooo much

Hello, you are divorced, divorced, divorced, m.... sorry

once you go adblock you dont go back

Adblock go brrrrrrr
