Who tf is actually paying for YouTube premium?!

[-] x3n0s@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

I do since YouTube music is included and dislike Spotify UI.

What about YouTube Revanced?

[-] x3n0s@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I really only care about the music subscription.

[-] Emi621@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 year ago

Revanced is also for YouTube music

[-] vita_man@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

I do. I watch a lot of YouTube videos, I hate ads and use YouTube music as my primary source of music.

[-] Samuel255@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

I do as well. It includes YouTube kids and I get music.

Have any of you heard of an adblocker?

[-] TheQuantumPhysicist@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago

It's all about the economics. Is your time more valuable than that wasted by the ads?

If you're watching YouTube 10 minutes a day, then it doesn't make sense for you. Cost/benefit analysis should be done.

[-] moreeni@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

You can just use an adblocker and/or a custom front end

[-] Zappy@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Eh it's not that much if you use YouTube Music, and unlike Adblock creators get paid.

[-] moreeni@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago

I'd rather give creators one time donations, tbh. $5 most likely would cover everything, creators gain very little from ads per viewer/listener

Restrictive corporate environments who do not allow for custom software installation. I pay for it but with the VPN trick. I am on vanced and sponsor block as soon as I leave the work place. Sucks but that is one of the use cases.

I was forced to subscribe because iPad doesn't support any kind of adblock...
