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!"
The add is German for sure so that would make sense
Imagine paying money to see 2 fucking ads before a video.
As another reply said already
Imagine cable tv! (in the US at least, and, it seems, Canada, too)
It is so absurd until you realize people already accepted that shit.. wtf!!!
Fucking called it
The only benefit now, but what if they start to serve 30 non-skippable ads without premium and ONLY 5 with premium, what a deal! Right?
the “lesser evil” strategy is so hot rn
Does lemmy have agedlikewine and agedlikemilk?
Ugh, you didn't even pay for Premium Plus?
Bloody peasant...
Firefox with ad blocker? You are wasting your money.
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?
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.
Yeah the price will increase or ads or both. But it never just stops. It's never enough
What is the benefit of premium if you still have to watch ads?
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
The second I get an ad on premium I cancel my subscription. Blocking ads on apple tv wasn’t easy, but Ill find a way
I feel like you don't fully understand that the line can go up. At the expense of everything...
Enjoy
I have premium too once I saw an ad and complained and it turned out to be a bug. I even had engineers reach out with questions when they were fixing the issue.
Maybe that has happened here? They have announced any changes.
YouTube ads cost about $0.026 (two and a half cents) per 30 seconds of viewing. This is called cpv.
It's not fair that ss a viewer I'm not able to bid on my own to show myself an empty ad slot. I'm looking at the price of premium and it definitely seems like more revenue for YouTube than I'd give them from ads.
these posts are just getting ridiculous. USE. BRAVE. OR. FIREFOX.
I get ads on premium sometimes. I think it's a fluke but def unacceptable
If I'm paying monthly for a service without ads and I see a single (1) advertisement, I should at least get a month of free subscription because the other party is in breach of contract.
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..
Hey, so I canceled my YouTube Premium subscription a couple of months back and decided to pick up reading instead. It's a different kind of entertainment, but I'm actually really enjoying it. I've been finding some really great books, and I'm finding it just as hard to put them down as I used to find it hard to stop binge-watching my favorite channels.
For everyone on Android, you can just patch the youtube app using ReVanced, which will remove ads, add sponsorblock, allow you to hide shorts and the "People also watched" sections. It can be pretty tricky to patch if you don't know what you're doing so feel free to tell me if you run into any issues.
If you don't care about the algorithm and your feed, you can get the third-party client NewPipe, it's FOSS ~~but sometimes crashes while reading some videos~~ It does not seem to crash anymore, so good thing!
Pick one!
It's probably a bug. And to excuse the devs at Youtube, this is the first and only Premium client.
