The moment I get ads in my Youtube Premium, it’s done with Youtube Premium, and done with Youtube.
…or else it gets the hose again???
Alright where are all the YouTube premium apologetics that keep appearing everytime someone discusses any sort of Ad-blocker?! What do you guys have to say now?!
No ads so far here but I definitely will cancel Premium if I start seeing ads. That’s literally the only thing I’m paying for.
As long as it have good value to me I will use it. The same as with other services.
The thing is I don’t mostly mind paying for having YouTube without ads, but I would prefer if it didn’t have anything to do with Google in the first place.
Everyone knows you need to pay for YouTube Premium-Pro-Plus if you don’t want to see ads. Only 69.99 per

The guy who took this screenshot and posted it to Reddit likely has Premium Lite, which still shows ads on music videos. The title of the video is probably cut out to hide it.
Premium Lite is hilarious branding. “Oh, it’s high quality, but like, less. Quality Lite”
It’s like when they sell a medium pizza but no small. Bitch, you can’t have “medium” if you don’t have a small and large to compare it to!
Actually I don’t know if it’s like that at all…
“All animals are born equal, but some are born more equal than others”
People who use premium should organize to vow to publicly shame and boycott any company putting adds in their premium plan.
Like anti commercials.
At what point do content creators stop creating content for this?
When they stop getting paid.
From what I understand, they’re already getting paid pennies by youtube, which is why many of them constantly shill for patreon/nebula/curiositystream/whatever on top of sponsored content. So youtube is shit for the creators, shit for the consumers, and a net loss for google. It’s the same non-business model as food delivery apps: nobody profits, yet it still somehow keeps going because modern economics is make-believe.
Does anyone even buy anything because of these stupid ads?
I think I heard it put like this once (paraphrasing):
Ads aren’t to make you buy the product. Few people are gonna see a regular commercial about chocolate and go out and buy it. That’s not their intent. They’re meant for brand recognition. They’re about that moment in the supermarket when you have 50 choices of what soda to get. 40 of them are noname and store brands. You’ll almost never try them unless you want to save some money and/or aren’t interested in what you’re buying. But then you have your coke and pepsi. The old reliables - the names that are stuck in your head since forever. And sometimes you’ll want to check out the new mountain dew or dr pepper flavors, cause you’re curious. But when you’re not in the mood for new, when you just want a soda and don’t wanna think about it, you’ll get a coke or a pepsi or one of the few brands whose name you recognize.
After 1000 raid shadow legends ads, guess what you’re gonna feel like trying in 3 months when you get bored of your current mobile game and are scrolling through their top picks for games? “Hmm, Raid shadow legends? I’ve heard about this before, maybe I give it a try”
Sure, it backfires sometimes - for example, I always make it a point to not try out a game if I feel it’s been in too many ads - I don’t wanna waste time in something that blew its entire budget on marketing. But with most people this doesn’t happen. And I’m pretty sure even I tried some item from an ad that I said I’d never get - the name probably just got stuck in my head and I got it without even realizing it.
Marketers make a shit load of money based on human psychology. They wouldn’t be doing it if it didn’t work.
Fun thing, I don’t want to get YouTube Premium because YouTube has a huge bunch of bugs and glitches and crap UI design and since they’re the only service in the niche there’s been no indication they’ll ever fix their shit.
I didn’t care about YouTube Music, so losing ads on stock YouTube apps was literally the only reason I was even considering getting Premium.
But if it doesn’t even do the one job…?
That’s fine, at least they just increased the family plan pricing by 60%. Oh, wait.
Premium+ coming in 2026 for truly ad-free experience. Premium++ coming in 2028 for truly truly ad-free experience. Premium+++ coming in 2030 for truly truly truly ad-free experience.
Ad revenue is like crack to corporations. I think Google needs an intervention.
Needs euthanization
I heard tell from a Gen Xer who said cable TV used to not have ads.
You’re lying. I can’t imagine this so it must be false!
What the heck is this “Youtube Premium”?
All I ever know was uBlock Origin.
🏴☠️
Yeah, anyone who didn’t see this coming hasn’t been paying attention.
paying attention.
They couldn’t afford to after paying for yootoob premium.
We are just one step away from YouTube being a paid only service.
I think that would be the death of the platform
I’m even wondering how people can use it as it is without ad blockers or clients like newpipe
Every time I use it on not-my-device I’m losing my nerves, because I have to watch at least 2 ads for a 1min video, when I want to show someone something
Is it a slow rollout or a experimental update thing? I don’t have it on mine.
Only in Germany in a test of a lower Premium plan so far.
What’s the point of paying for YouTube Premium if you get ads anyway?
You get amazing features like: background play (which is more of an annoyance), remember where i left off (which doesnt work whatsoever, even 5 years after it was first released), download video’s to watch offline (you need to remember to download them first or hope that YouTube’s recommendation algoritm didnt pick videos you’ve already wachted) oh, and you can get a slightly higher bitrate for 1080p. So basically it loses all value.
Yea, but your “download” f**ing expires! So it’s useless when you go somewhere with no internet.
Well, you get to pay for YouTube and see ads!
