YouTube is Losing The War Against Adblockers
(www.howtogeek.com)
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
You can have that by paying for youtube premium, they want you to sign up.
I'm not tempted to sign up for something if I don't even know what the features are. Maybe some of their dumbass ads should be for their own fucking product lol. I assumed that it was free from ads, and I think you can download videos and play with your screen off on your phone? Idk, Vanced has been great for me on my phone. And I wouldn't have bothered to get that set up in the first place if the ads and lack of features weren't so disruptively intrusive. If they find a way to shut down every way of getting around their overreaching bullshit, I'll opt to fund a few respectable creators directly rather than pay for the platform.
And I wouldn't want to bother building a queue in the first place unless it were in order to manage ad breaks. Putting that behind a paywall defeats the purpose of what I'm proposing. You can already build playlists all day long.
The best feature is that it auto-downloads recommended videos, but I hate how finnicky it is, and I hate how it's capped at 1080p.
