Mobile game ads are the worst now. I could not turn ads on and watch with others because its soo bad.
It's not the first time I stopped paying for a service that use to be good. If it effects me I'll drop the service and stop using the platform altogether.
Would they make it worse than watching ads?
of course that's infuriating, but you want to know something else that's infuriating? I've been paying for YouTube PREMIUM all these years, and one of the perks has been that we could hear the audio from videos even when our screen is off, or while multitasking on different apps.
Well imagine my DISMAY over the last few months, that is no longer true for me. The video stops playing after exactly 120 seconds if my screen is off. I'm paying for YouTube PREMIUM! I should be able to hear the audio from the videos when my screen is off!
As far as I know I'm the ONLY one experiencing this because other people on Lemmy have told me they can still hear YouTube audio when their screen is off.
someone please help me. You know how there is no YouTube customer service.
And yet- Everyone will continue to bitch about this while NO ONE will do the right thing and just stop using the service.
Part of the problem is there are effectively no alternatives to YouTube. The other options are either just front-ends or completely lack enough creators to have the enormous wealth of videos and information.
