My credit card has expired and thus my youtube premium with it.
I received some alerts from YT before it happened and now the subscription has been terminated and the first video I watched without the premium had 3 ads in 5 minutes.
3 ads. In 5 minutes.
I’m disgusted. My hatred towards the greedy corporations has been gradually exceeding the boiling point for the past couple of years and now I experienced how YouTube tries to force it’s users to pay the tribute.
I’m using YT a lot so I’d take no issue paying if it just improved the experience, but not if it’s the only way to use the “free” app. I’m not gonna get my money extorted by a fucking corporation.
Fuck them, intalling ReVanced now.
Firefox + uBlock Origin = no youtube ads
Add SponsorBlock and Enhancer for Youtube and you will have (some) peace. There are also addons that remove suggestions, but you can do that with UBO anyway
DeArrow, from the SponsorBlock creator, fixes thumbnails and titles of videos too.
Also Grayjay
No longer working for me. Only way it now works if I’m not logged in to YT.
Don’t log in to youtube
not everyone hates yt reccommended algorithms
I log in because it keeps a history of previously watched videos as well as playlists. It’s a useful feature to give up for many folks.
“doctor, it hurts when I do this”
“then don’t do that”
