So you're saying there's still a chance
Sremmos
I have it as I listen to videos driving all the time. Great to skip the ads and turn off screen
DarkMagic1516
DoctorDelta
I only got it to stop the ads on my Roku TV. That's the one device in my house I can't get an ad blocker on
vanillaqt
I’ve had YouTube premium for a while and dropped it for a week and the ads tripled. It’s not that bad. People pay for Spotify anyway 1/ 2
vanillaqt
Plus I’ve heard the youtubers get more per view from premium viewers. So it’s sort of supporting them subtly
captainpizza
Honestly it's worth it of you watch a lot of YouTube ave care about creators getting paid
aThingWithTheStufAndTheJunk
Yep, much happier they're getting money from than Disney or whoever.
Baeloro
I had a 4 mo trial to premium. Best 4 mo of my life
fessusIntellectiva
Nope. Because the chances aren’t small - they’re zero.
poochyena
youtube premium is good though
rayleon0702
Listen, I didn't pay for winrar/winzip, so I sure as hell won't pay for YouTube premium either.
carthorn
Would you buy Youtube premium for $12 for a year? If you have a vpn, vpn from Turkey and its 169.99 turkish currency = ~$12
Huor
I can’t imagine NOT having YouTube Premium.
PublixChickenTenderSub
My when I visit someone’s house and see them turn on YouTube with ads
PontiacDude
Once you go YT premium you don’t go back. I wish I went sooner.
xanderakafonz
I don't get this, as I consume much of my content on youtube, I get all my music and videos ad free for less than a spotify subscription ?
Akrilla
Use vance, it's gud.
finetoroastasimamarshmallow
YouTube: So you’re telling us there’s a chance?!
ElioNope
"Adblock" "Vanced" "Sponsor skip" "No premium" Do y'all at least tip the creators of stuff you watch?

JustALonelyUser
I’ve had it for 2 months and enjoy it. I’m 700hrs of vid and 210hrs of music in already cause I listen at work so it’s worth it to me.
FoldedCorner
i have youtube premium, i use it mostly for the music, but it's nice having no ads when i watch it on living room tv
DumbShitIsMyTrigger
I absolutely love my youtube premium, no regurts. It's 90% of my roku watching. They have MST3k there!
carthorn
You can get Youtube premium for $12 year if you VPN from Turkey, its 169.99 turkish currency = ~$12. Gotta love region based pricing
zeacorzeppelin10
Exactly
TrumpRapesChildren
I'm still using Vanced YouTube. They can pry that shit from my cold dead hands.
manymemesabound
Now that the project has been killed, they will with future updates unfortunately. :/
TrumpRapesChildren
I'm still using my pixel 4 XL lmao. Idgaf about updates.
manymemesabound
Right, but YouTube itself will update so they are no longer compatible with Vanced. Vanced used to keep up but they're shut down now.
TrumpRapesChildren
Then I shall it ride it into the sunset. For glory! For honor! For "fuck YouTube premium and you still get fucking ads with it"!
manymemesabound
FWIW There's a project called ReVanced but it's still in the early stages :)
TrumpRapesChildren
Seriously? What walnut downvoted my posts? Come on lol
wiresnake
I don't get this. It's easily the best subscription service I've signed up for. No more ads + YT Music, which is better than Spotify.
LoopStricken
I wasn't getting ads on Youtube anyway...
SilverFoxChaser
Youtube premium is great. Better than many music subs out there.
Contundo
I’m not giving Google anything
wellitseemedlikeagoodideaatthetime
Good job honey
UsernameMayBeSubjectToChange
So you are the sole subscriber!
sambaah05
I'll make 2. There's more than 20 million I believe. So theres dozens of us! If its something I use a lot I have no issue with paying for it
somethingsomethingsomethingclever
Me three
aThingWithTheStufAndTheJunk
Me4.
turtlefarm
I agree and don't get the downvotes. Ppl pay happily for Spotify but somehow scoff at YT prem. I pay for YT, music + no adds is great.
somethingsomethingsomethingclever
Yep. But it cool to hate on YouTube premium even though it offers more.
echo1echo
If you like youtube premium, you're gonna love winrar
HypnagogicHallucinations

sambaah05
Why are people so opposed to paying for something they use a lot? Or maybe you don't use it a lot?
BootsNCatsNBootsNCatsN
They got me guys, I was with all of you.. YouTube is my TV and after 3 months of no commercials no way I was going back...
ArgumentativeArguerJustBecause
This^ tried the month free payed for another month. Didn't for a month and had to go back to no ads the month after.
BootsNCatsNBootsNCatsN
Not as bad as in app / pay to play but right there with gross-ness...But I've never asked YouTube Music to play a song that it couldn't play
aThingWithTheStufAndTheJunk
Because if it doesn't officially have it, it will find it on YT from some rando. No other service can get away with that.
BootsNCatsNBootsNCatsN
Yep and I'll take it
Etherealvalentine
Ad blocker...
DrSleepyPhZzz
Yeah. I've had it since it was youtube red. I barely watch anything else, I don't mind paying for no ads.
Bytencoder
How long do you think this truce will last?
GuyPilot
I watch YouTube via my browser...ad back installed. In fact, my desk top and tablet have blockers too. I haven't seen a YouTube ad in yrs
snafu999
same + sponsorblock = all the shit cut out
BillHubbard
Same
Quizz25S
I went halvsies with my brother on a family plan. I pay him 9 bucks a month instead of whatever it normally is.
snafu999
$119 a year - you're paying for both of you
Quizz25S
And how is that any different than Netflix, Disney+, HBO max or any other streaming service? That's the way the world works now.
kylefromterminator
I’m in the same boat
CortexDagger
Same. I had 6 months free, and yep can't go back.
BootsNCatsNBootsNCatsN
CortexDagger
It is! And i don't like them for it. But it supports the creators better then ad revenue so kind of a win I guess.
BootsNCatsNBootsNCatsN
Thanks that makes me feel better
Bytencoder
Hmmmm, so NO commercials because you pay... "How long do you think this truce will last?" (Matrix something)
Botticelliii
I'm thinking about breaking down and getting it for that exact reason. I watch it far more on my TV than anything else.
SurgioClemente
The ads just kept getting worse and worse. You win YouTube.
TheGooey
Been subbed to it for a couple of years now, and I feel like it's worth it if you're mostly watching it on your TV
BootsNCatsNBootsNCatsN
I'd say it's a simple as if you have shows that you're excited for that are on YouTube it's worth it.. and the ability to click around fast
BootsNCatsNBootsNCatsN
Fast forward skip to the next thing without 17 ads as gross as that business model is makes it worth it
LAMovieDesign
Same. I watch way too much YouTube while I work to have to listen to commercials.
Discgolfing
The fact that you can listen to youtube on your phone in sleep mode is also pretty nice.
naikrovek
plus, YouTube content creators you watch a lot of get more money than they would have with ads if I didn't block 'em. no brainer for me
TooMuchDad
Same, I just wish the price was more comparable for other services removing ads. I don’t want all the other random shit
CortexDagger
If you have others that want in, the family plan is nice.
Bex316
As much as i hate to give google money, I watch so much youtube, and hate ads so much, that it's absolutely worth it.
TheLeanWolf
Also somewhere in that last red circle: Chances of me buying Imgur Emerald
orbitn
also in the last red circle: chances of me willingly going to the new layout. I went in and locked the cookies just to get the old layout.
JoshuaHarazin
It's totally worth it, definitely a premium experie [app crashes]
aThingWithTheStufAndTheJunk
They gave it to me for free.
kingkongkeom
Same...got it when I reached 100000 points.
SirDistic
RIP @TheLeanWolf before he was mysteriously banned.
TheLeanWolf
According to replies I should be offered Emerald for free, any time now.. ;)
simplefishy
Probably have to wait till Christmas, that’s when the gifted it last year
sanaujiram
I’ve been using Imgur daily since 2012 and I have no idea what that is.
Ryanator50
I got it for free. didn't even ask for it. all it is is special upvotes you can only use once a day.
waitwuh
It’s also no ads. I’m on imgur enough and it’s not that expensive so
Smarfx
I buy it so I can feel rich. Works out
buttcreambandit
They gave it to me for free
3nd3rwiggin
I said I would buy it over my dead body and then they gave it to me.
LoopStricken
Oh yeah, I forgot about that.
DiedAndHauntingImgur
I kinda just assumed everyone got it…. but that also doesn’t make sense so…
Kazooski
Yep, I pointed out a ad glitch so now I get no ads.
YouMayFindThisMildlyInteresting
I thought that was an April Fools joke?
Dragongurl392
Nope, it’s a thing. I was gifted it, and I get no ads.
YouMayFindThisMildlyInteresting
Imgur has ads?
Dragongurl392
I really need to get a better one of those. Are there any that aren’t picked up by the sites that ask you to turn addblockers off?
PathologicalLier
The trick is to not visit thoe sites
kwyjjibo
Well, it might be the longest running April fools joke ever because its October and its still an option to subscribe in my settings
ITellBadPuns
@BotDrawA Mr. Imgur with a spear, forcing TheLeanWolf to buy Imgur Emerald.

Tassyr
Honestly I don't get it. On mobile I use Newpipe, which gives me the adblock and background playing features for free.
FierceAndAdorable
If you’re not paying for a product, then you are the product
Tassyr
Newpipe is entirely made by a guy who got pissed at youtube and made a workaround. It's the reason it's not on the app store.
FierceAndAdorable
Thanks, learn something new every day
ohnoitsavikingchick
YouTube Vanced does the same for me. I love it.
TotallyNotKimJongIL
They've ended vanced support and it will slowly die out over the next several months :(
r4nt
It still exists in other ways. Also it will be usable at least 2 more years even without support.
TotallyNotKimJongIL
Hopefully it stays up till Revanced starts up.
HearMeFart
I watch a loooot of YT on my Nvidia Shield (android TV) so no ad blocker available that I know of. Premium lite is cheap.
Bytencoder
People love throwing money... crazy, I know.
sambaah05
If it's something I use a lot, I have no issue with paying for it.
ArgumentativeArguerJustBecause
This^ I dont see people bitching about Spotify premium and that's arguably worse then yt premium.
aap71
like a hooker?
64645
That too.
BISHPLEEASE
Seems like a weird thing to waste money on when you can turn ads off with a click of a button...
layinginbedfeelinglikeaquesarito
It’s only for android and like half the people out here have iOS. I’m sure those users want it as well
Tassyr
Welp, then they're going to have to pay extra. But as they buy iProducts, they should be used to that anyway.
AmazinglyCoolNameHere
There are ios alternatives.
ghostofdragon
For me, I’m a music therapy intern and it has been invaluable as an iOS user. I can log in on any device my placement has and not be lim->>
ghostofdragon
ited to what the placement has access to recording wise. I’d imagine (music) educators at all levels also appreciate that.
Rustbelt
I didn't choose YouTube Premium, but my google music now self identifies as it and I don't really mind.
Memnoch112
I thought that as well, it turns out that there is a difference between YouTube premium and YouTube music premium.
aThingWithTheStufAndTheJunk
YT Music premium comes with YT Premium. Or maybe the other way around. Either way, worth it.
Memnoch112
Other way around, I just upgraded since I didn’t know?
luciferrex
I, too, basically got it free by having had Google play music.
BobHubert
But they have a FaMiLy PlAn now lol
Throwawayheyya
Same, but boy do I miss google play music.
UWAGAGABLAGABLAGABA
Me too. I used to use it for my locally stored songs. It's so much harder to play my own music now.
luciferrex
SAME, especially on Android auto. It was so much better.
vonkeswick
Best streaming app I've ever used and worked flawlessly. YT Music is fine I guess, but I miss the ease of "downloads only" on GPM
itsmesanchez
Same, YouTube premium is definitely a nice perk for the family plan though. No ads for me, my gf, or my parents!
unclekeenanfromthe603
I do too my dude, it has the best UI. No music player for Android has come close since. I hope one day it makes a comeback in some form.
the9mm
Have you looked at Plex Amp? Would require a server setup of some sort by honestly a $35 raspberry pi runs it perfectly.
TheLastBootyBender
I use VLC player for android and it works great
Dondarian
I do every single day as well. Because when I search for music in my YouTube play, it absolutely insists on not finding my uploads first.
steveohnoes
Add a thumbs up on all your uploads then it will search that first
Dondarian
I've already done that, and I have a "likes" playlist, but whenever I search for any of the artists or any of the songs, it defaults to YT >
Dondarian
Music, and I have to select uploads every single time. Or I have to deal with ads every time I choose something to play.
TA2019
This is like when I have to type out my full home address into the GPS when everyone already knows google knows perfectly well where
TA2019
I live already but it'll still not even show my place on the suggestions until I'm mote than halfway through typing it. It's like it's
TA2019
Actually trying to pretend it's not big brother
AgainstMethod
Unpopular opinion, but I think the YT Music app is decent.
JoshuaHarazin
It's OK, but too much of the music is weird unofficial uploads, volume is wildly inconsistent, and if you don't create a whole new...
JoshuaHarazin
..."channel" to sign in under, it screws up your YouTube recommendations.
AgainstMethod
Honestly, I use the subscription feed and I don't really want it to "recommend" stuff to me, so filling the home page with music is fine.
AgainstMethod
Yeah, I have a grand total of 4 playlists that I occasionally edit, so I guess I'm easy to please.
YouCanCallMeCal
YouTube music has the best music selection. The best library storage and the worst fucking ui lol
rokidsyndisd
This
UnremarkablyInteresting
I fucking HATE that the auto-play turns back on whenever you select a new album. Drives me nuts.
Rustbelt
IS THAT WHATS HAPPENING. I thought i was crazy.
JoshuaHarazin
Best selection, but so much of it is sketchy unofficial uploads with inconsistent volume.
YouCanCallMeCal
That depends on your playlist selection via user created vs official
JoshuaHarazin
It's what comes up in autoplay.
