Between the age of my account and the fact I pay for premium, if they ever ask for ID they can go fuck themselves and I'll go back to as blockers and fresh accounts
I still have the original Google Play Music All Access intro deal of $7.99/month from 2013.
They contractually can't raise the price on me ever. 12 years so far.
You pay each month that amount for music ,😂
That's how much I pay for YouTube Premium.
I also buy CDs, or Bandcamp downloads directly for those I really like, and want to donate to.
I "curate" whole discographies of stuff that I want to "archive".
But when someone recommends music I haven't heard of, I load up their most popular stuff on YouTube Music and listen to a bunch there, ad free. Then decide if or how I obtain more.
I use newpipe or metrolist on my phone,freetube on my PC , never have I seen ads from yt.
As a newpipe user myself, are we now pretending this doesn't happen for 90% of videos?
Have just tested it with totally random subjects, such as grapheneos, supertramp, Hollywood undead, interstellar, trump, everything in working order. Tested with mullvad VPN on (exit zwitersland), or off (belgium)
Try reinstall newpipe
Also do research about changing DNS
I've tried those. They aren't as good as YouTube Premium.
