Fucking called it
This is why you get anti-anti-adblock userscripts in tampermonkey inside of your browser and/or the same inside of adguard for windows. Along with an adblocking DNS
Give them an inch and they’ll take 1000 miles. No more money for google, ever.
Don’t disable uBlock Origin, even when you have YT premium. Using Chrome counts as disabling uBlock Origin
Also, don’t pay for youtube premium if they’re going to serve you ads either way
At that point, you’re just paying for YouTube Music.
Another rip off
And this is why i,won’t start paying them money. They will never be content and will just keep pushing ads further and further.
Probably the lower tier of premium that’s being tested in Germany.

Huh weird, the only reason to use Premium is to cut out the adverts.
“Would you like to buy Premium?” “Ooh, what do I get?” “YOU GET NOTHING! GOOD DAY SIR!”
Firefox with ad blocker? You are wasting your money.
Do creator even get any real amount of money from the money collected through premium?
Buying premium seems like the dumbest shit imaginable to me.
My wife uses a TV to watch YouTube, My kid uses a phone, My other kid uses a tablet.
Saying just use ad block isn’t feasible for everyone.
If you use something Android based for watching YouTube on the TV (some TVs, fireTV stick, etc.), you can: https://github.com/yuliskov/SmartTube?tab=readme-ov-file
I haven’t watched a single Ad on YouTube on TV (SmartTube), mobile (ReVanced), or PC (Firefox + uBlock origin) since it became unbearable… five years ago or so?
Even on an iPhone, you can use vinegar to block YT ads. Or Firefox Focus.
If it’s true and I get ads on my Premium (which… to be fair I’m not paying full price anyway 😅), it may be the last push I needed to finally start reading books again…
Nothing will ever be the push you are looking for
I did it! Canceled Premium!
I thought maybe to change it to a sub to Nebula or something… but then I realized it’d be like trading heavy cigarette smoking for heavy vape smoking.
Now begins the « ween the brain off overstimulation » phase 😅
Imagine paying money to see 2 fucking ads before a video.
Or imagine installing uBlock Origin and not seeing ads at all ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
YouTube really promoted uBlock more than uBlock could even promote itself
Imagine paying money to watch YouTube.
