Anyone using YouTube Premium? Ads have become unbearable

[RachlNicholsazz]

$140/year.. I'm about to get it, the ads on YT are so frequent and long without being able to skip, are getting to the point I can't take it any longer. 45 seconds now?

Ya I got it. They broke with me ads last year

Is there an ISH Premium?

You guys don't have an ad blocker?

I know youtube found a way around that, but my ad-blockker would constantly counter their attempts to disable it and in the end it seems like YouTube has surrendered. Haven't had an ad in months.

Before, if you have two short consecutive ads before watching your intended video, you can always skip the first one right away or after a few seconds. Now there's just no way skipping them; an indication is present that you have to watch the whole duration of the ads. Although on rare instances, you can still have the ability to skip one. But then, there's always a countdown when you get to the next ad. Which was never the case bt.

When I watch on my phone, I can't stand ads. If I get a 15 second unskippable ad, I'll close the video and re open it until I get a skippable ad or just a 5 second ad. I'm not waiting 15 seconds to watch my video.

They need to make it for smart TVs too. I have ******* which prevents YT ads on my phone but I always find myself too lazy to open the app

Edit. I guess ISH has adware blockers censored on this sight :oldlol:

I think the easier thing to do would be raise your kids telling them that advertising is immoral and to not get into marketing. After one generation ads would be gone.

Around 2010 or so, Jeff was at war with people with ad-blockers on this site. Would constantly encourage people to allow ads, he censored that word around that time frame.
