Rozay, 31 Oct 2023You guys are so cheap! Pay the creators the content you’re ... moreWhy?
Let's say you buy a premium service and the content creators still insert there hard spot ads, why should they be rewarded.
No what YouTube should do is offer individual premium subs to account holders and enforce contest crearira to stop doing their own ad sports, that would solve this issue right away, rill then, screw the content creators and YouTube for screing over viewers.

Mills, 31 Oct 2023Keep in mind that you can DOWNLOAD YouTube premium and Spot... moreWhy would I do that?
Screw YouTube and it's parent Alphabet.
If Google want to go to war with its user base it's a war they will lose.
So you pay for Premiumnnutnthe content creator pits there own ads into the video yet you paid for a premium sub which is ZERO ADS they can't have it both ways.
Also buy Pixel, unlock bootloader and install MagisK And then install Ad Away and send all 'host ads" into the either 127.0.0.1 were the system is tricked into thinking the qd has been displayed, nothing that Google can do to stop you from doing that or if you can't root then use a VPN which does the same job also VPN are not against YouTube ToS so again screw them.

Devs are gonna find out a way to bypass this shit sooner or later... probably sooner, considering Google's legendary ineptitude.
And speaking of Google, stop it. Stop it, Google. Dozens of other companies have waged war on ad blockers before you, and all of them had to pitifully capitulate, some even in front of a judge. It's a war you're never gonna win. You're not the chosen one, Google. You're not the chosen one that will succeed where everyone else has failed.

The same day that YT turns off political censorship, I will turn off my ad blocker.

Wouldn't have any issue with it if it weren't for the 6 ads in a 10 minute video, some of them now being unskippable and 15 seconds long.

Whackcar, 31 Oct 2023Already faced their stupid anti-adblocker pop-up, and found... moreI don't know man. The only real competition YouTube has is TikTok. Hear me out. TikTok is downloaded over 2 billion of times (most of those are legit) and TikTok is rolling out 10 minute recording and a full screen mode for landscape videos. Why would TikTok add these? To compete with the largest video-sharing company, YouTube.

Interesting to see a lot of this talk. I watch Youtube every day way too much. I am clearly addicted to it. I have not seen an ad in years on my own devices. After a test on other person's device, the ads is just way too excessive. Kind of like cable TV. I am 100% sure that Google's success would cure my addiction on Youtube.

People will just switch to a different platform if YouTube keeps abusing their monopolistic position. Some new app will take over and tbh I would like that. YouTube is been getting too greedy and controlling lately, especially after they disabled the dislikes counter. I'm not paying them a penny

Anyway, copy this into your uBlock filters on the uBlock dashboard:
youtube.com##+js(set, yt.config_.openPopupConfig.supportedPopups.adBlockMessageViewModel, false)
youtube.com##+js(set, Object.prototype.adBlocksFound, 0)
youtube.com##+js(set, ytplayer.config.args.raw_player_response.adPlacements, [])
youtube.com##+js(set, Object.prototype.hasAllowedInstreamAd, true)
This SHOULD get rid of the anti-adblock message. (This may be outdated but it's the one I use and I haven't gotten the message.)
