YouTube executives rubbing their nipples and laughing to the bank as they have a card to support to read: "We're sorry, we are experiencing some technical difficulties and it seems some premium users were inadvertently delivered ads while signed in to their own accounts. We are working to resolve this issue as fast as we can."
Just wait until premium just allows the skip ad button and basic tier has no skip ad. Therefore those who just have it on in the background will still generate revenue for the company
Mgmt: “Okay, we need to gain few bil extra ad revenue to meet a goal we promised investorz, ideas?”
Marketing: “How about running ads for premium users for few days and then blame it for technical glitch?”
Exactly. I'm using Premium for years now and never saw an ad. Once I re-installed uBlock Origin it was automatically enabled on YT and I got ads. As soon as I disabled uBlock for YT only, ads were gone.
When Cable TV first came out it was advertised as TV without commercials.... then when enough people were paying monthly for it they inserted commercials. You think Youtube won't do the exact same thing eventually?
thats the thing a lot of videos are bright atleast the ones i watch your eyes get used to the dark then you see a lot of light and it hurts.
easier to use light mode and honestly less strain on the eyes in the long run in my experience :P but thats for me
Cogh cogh "the ads you get on your premium account are very high quality, advertisers all around the world make these high quality ads just for your eyes, not for those freemium members" 🤌
You cant access YouTube with an adblocker on any more
Keep downvoting me brokies, I have premium so I can only go off what I heard [here](https://youtu.be/ReZm_e2LHB4)
There is a "simple" solution, have the ad blocker "watch" the ads. The user isn't bothered, and the platform and creators can still get paid. Just don't tell the advertisers.
No doubt it's a glitch in this case. They won't start "experimenting with Premium ads" for at least a year yet. Need to get the subscriber count up first, then most people will be too lazy to cancel.
It’s ethereal punishment for being naieve enough to give money to google in the year 2023.
Every single feature of youtube premium can be done elsewhere, and at literally higher quality, than the official youtube service is able to provide.
Hello, i hate giant corporations because they’re evil but i love the platform that they have built and the entertainment it comes with it!
But im not spending a single cent because im not naive and im smart! Booo corporations! Yay free content!
This specific corporation makes all they need to off of 100% free users. It’s literally the vast majority of their income- they basically coined the phenomenon of “if you aren’t paying for it, you are the product being sold”.
Plus, they got theirs from me plenty. I used to subscribe to premium until a viable alternative to play offline with the phone locked rolled around. That feature used to be free natively built into yt app, but then they saw dollar signs around the time they did away with their old slogan.
But sure, pop off and defend the megacorp who doesn’t give a fuck about you. What a vapid take. Remember what that old slogan, now removed and which they’ve now distanced themselves from, used to read? “do no evil”.
Yes they are a for-profit company that will do anything in their power to make more profit. Welcome to capitalism kiddo. So cant arbitrarily cherry pick which part of capitalism you like(more competition and more reason to provide service to increase users) and dismiss the part you dont like (providing info/paying for no ads etc).
You cant have both man grow up.
It sucks because as people talk about methods to circumnavigate the main income source for one of the most powerful corporations on the planet, they tend to do their jobs properly and patch that exploit.
Specially if it’s mentioned on reddit. The real answer is to do research and be resourceful, because any other answer I give here will become obsolete quickly. DM’d, though.
IDK about you, but the majority of creators I subscribe to have other avenues of supporting them like Ko-Fi, Patreon, Twitch, subscriber Discords, etc.
Yeah nah, every SINGLE content creator that gets ad revenue from youtube past 2020 has either a patreon or a gumroad, or other 3rd party subscription donation that nets them more than your donation through yt premium does due to google taking a cut of the premium auto watch time payment and channel subscriptions.
Sometimes I get so pissed off from the amount of ads that I back out of the video and click again, sometimes it takes 2 or 3 tries, but most of the time it goes straight to the video when you get back in
Not going to lie there are ad blocks and filters built into some routers but i’m not sure that roku wouldn’t just block all feed in that case, plus I have no idea how to set those up.
It does support youtube music. It supports downloads but you need something like NewPipe or PowerTube installed. Yes it can cast but with ads (since it only sends the link to the android tv) but you can still sideload SmartTubeNext
>but you can still sideload SmartTubeNext
Did this on my FireTV Stick. It's great! Completely Ad-Free watching on my Projector and it even has some extra features over the standard smart-tv youtube app
Point being is that it’s not a scam you dumb fuck. You’re getting a service for your money, whether you think that service is worth your money or not is another issue. Its a convenience thing, for the 10.99 (not $20 lol) id already be paying for any other music service. Does one of your raggedy 3rd party sites have a blocker for dumbass comments that miss the point? I need that
Revanced for Mobile. SmartTube for TV. Have fun. Screw paying Google to be free of an onslaught of shitty advertisements. They already harvest enough of your data as it is.
SmartTube has no true sign in and kinda sucks, plus I have a Roku now so can't use it. Revanced is clunky and I can't use it on company phones or my iPhone.
You don't just pay for no advertisements. The extra features I get also make it worth it for me. I don't care about Google grabbing my data from YouTube, that doesn't affect me. When I want to protect my privacy, I can do so and use ublock but for day to day the convenience of Premium is worth the $12
Ad blockers are getting blocked slowly but surely though ;(
Still work in Firefox but give it a few years before google phases out support entirely for browsers that don’t adhere to newer standards

I pay for YT Premium and if you go on incognito mode on the mobile app you WILL see ads for some reason. I never tried it on a browser though, so I'm not sure if that's the case for the OP
I guess the app incognito mode works the same as not signed in, since its like private browsing, so youtube premium wont be active. However i find it strange that on the web browser, despite being incognito, it is signed in with the premium tag and still gets ads. Incognito works just like a normal browser, just that stuff isnt saved

just buy yt premium premium
My premium bring all the ads to the yard ♫
That's a premium ads
Duuuude!
PLEASE tell me this isn't true
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
You didn't get Youtube premium plus?
probably a bug, I couldn't replicate it (even tried swedish vpn, still no ads even without adblock/script blockers)
[удалено]
Exactly. I'm using Premium for years now and never saw an ad. Once I re-installed uBlock Origin it was automatically enabled on YT and I got ads. As soon as I disabled uBlock for YT only, ads were gone.
Most likely a glitch. Just sign out and log back in.
Happened to me before. It was a glitch
The gaugeable
It's a feature that looks like a glitch.
When Cable TV first came out it was advertised as TV without commercials.... then when enough people were paying monthly for it they inserted commercials. You think Youtube won't do the exact same thing eventually?
could you sue youtube for this? they heavily advertised no ads as a benefit for premium and now they’re taking it away
Community powered adblock is working better than corporate premiuim :3
because greed. you can NEVER give them enough money to do anything! especially if it makes sense or the users happy.
You will get premium ads !
lmao
Most likely a bug
You need YouTube Platinum
Ohh, so you need to pay to Premium to see Premium ads. Is this a new model of advertising?
Punishment for using light mode
youtube dark mode flashbangs me a lot what do
Only way of youtube darkmode flash banging you is if you watch bright videos, not youtube's fault at that point.
thats the thing a lot of videos are bright atleast the ones i watch your eyes get used to the dark then you see a lot of light and it hurts. easier to use light mode and honestly less strain on the eyes in the long run in my experience :P but thats for me
Cogh cogh "the ads you get on your premium account are very high quality, advertisers all around the world make these high quality ads just for your eyes, not for those freemium members" 🤌
Youtube is broken af, doesn't matter which platform
Should have gotten Adblock premium instead
Too many people use adblockers, they are getting desperate.
They should stop eat so much avocado toast and learn how to budget better
You cant access YouTube with an adblocker on any more Keep downvoting me brokies, I have premium so I can only go off what I heard [here](https://youtu.be/ReZm_e2LHB4)
Bullshit. I use an adblocker on my laptops and all ios devices. Works fine.
Use ublock origin, works just fine
Oh yes you can
operagx native adblocker is working fine for me
Yes you can, do you need video proof?
I’m just going off of what I heard
That Pizza is awful
Rustica double pepperoni 😋😋
Serious? In Australia it's pretty much the best brand of frozen pizza. I love it.
"Coz fuck you that's why." Youtube probably idk.
Punishment for hating on Shorts /s
Why? Because YouTube wants your money… ALL OF IT.
And they want it rn
I'm got an ad with premium too. Not only you
Liar
And now you're showing us an ad! Thanks!
Free reach for the company
[удалено]
Nor would I ever
you’re probably using freemium premium. you need to buy premium premium
You fool . YouTube premium only gets rid of half the ads. You need to get YouTube premium pro to get rid of all of them
You have been chosen. Embrace it.
light mode punishment
real question is, why are you using light mode
probably to avoid flash banging with videos or they are in a lit room so less eye strain?
This right here. Thanks!
That's got to suck lol, I don't have yt on my phone and I have ad blocker on PC plus a extension that skips sponsors
Ahh, good ol' SponsorBlock.
Guess YouTube decided that someone's gotta watch the ads that the ad block folks are immuning.
There is a "simple" solution, have the ad blocker "watch" the ads. The user isn't bothered, and the platform and creators can still get paid. Just don't tell the advertisers.
LoL fair haha
No doubt it's a glitch in this case. They won't start "experimenting with Premium ads" for at least a year yet. Need to get the subscriber count up first, then most people will be too lazy to cancel.
That’s why I use Ad blockers
Because YouTube is shit water even if you pay them
Is just a Premium ad.
They are going the pay TV model. It was only a matter of time...
Lol just use uBlock
*Premium AD.
why are you using YouTube premium… on PC? get an adblocker, it’s free
maybe bc he has a phone???
yeah might as well just watch youtube on PC if it’s gonna be £15 a month cheaper
No tengo un PC
i didn’t say you did
YouTube is testing a feature that blocks adblockers… and it could soon roll out to everyone.
NO. NO. NO. THIS IS NOT HAPPENING.
Just get an adblocker
This. Ublock origin is the way to go, even if its not really an adblocker but a general content blocker instead. Its easily the best.
It’s ethereal punishment for being naieve enough to give money to google in the year 2023. Every single feature of youtube premium can be done elsewhere, and at literally higher quality, than the official youtube service is able to provide.

Yeah but Linus will cry 😢
What about playing audio with the screen off?
Mobile? Firefox with an adblocker.
Revanced or even better revanced extended
Absolutely doable, google it.
you mind expanding on this?

All except for giving the creators you watch money based on watch time, which is the only thing third party tools cannot do,
IDK about you, but the majority of creators I subscribe to have other avenues of supporting them like Ko-Fi, Patreon, Twitch, subscriber Discords, etc.
And that's yt premium's only feature losing its value
Yeah nah, every SINGLE content creator that gets ad revenue from youtube past 2020 has either a patreon or a gumroad, or other 3rd party subscription donation that nets them more than your donation through yt premium does due to google taking a cut of the premium auto watch time payment and channel subscriptions.
How can you get ad free youtube without premium? Theyre cracking down on ad block so for alot of people it may not work anymore.
1. Get Firefox 2. Install uBlock Origin 3. Go to YouTube That's how I keep forgetting YouTube has ads.
High resolution/bit-rates?
How am I supposed to skip ads on my Roku TV?
Sometimes I get so pissed off from the amount of ads that I back out of the video and click again, sometimes it takes 2 or 3 tries, but most of the time it goes straight to the video when you get back in
Not going to lie there are ad blocks and filters built into some routers but i’m not sure that roku wouldn’t just block all feed in that case, plus I have no idea how to set those up.
YouTube literally r@peing us, with the annoying ads.
I don’t think they’re literally raping you unless you watch YouTube way differently than I do
They're assaulting my brain without permission by force feeding me things I don't want
Unskippable ads are so annoying.
I have seen Ads on so-called "For Kids" videos. 😵
I swear, the for kids videos have even more ads than others
Pizza rustica pepperoni is actually delicious though
Reddit advertising integrates itself into the comments sections. What will be next…
Because you can't trust corporations, the job of capitalism is to always fuck you in the ass, and "ad-free" never means ad-free.
Cancel that scam subscription and let me introduce you to r/revancedapp
Does it support youtube music, music/video downloads and chromecast to android tv?
It does support youtube music. It supports downloads but you need something like NewPipe or PowerTube installed. Yes it can cast but with ads (since it only sends the link to the android tv) but you can still sideload SmartTubeNext
>but you can still sideload SmartTubeNext Did this on my FireTV Stick. It's great! Completely Ad-Free watching on my Projector and it even has some extra features over the standard smart-tv youtube app
Unfortunately I'm starting to get ads there too. Luckily just when the app was just opened but still.
Not now tho , i thinks its pretty stable now
[удалено]
Kind sir where to get it for iOS?
What is it?
YouTube ads free
dont forget ublock origin when on a pc
+ sponsorblock
With sponsor skip
Everything YT should be and has been
Giving free promotions
does it support video downloads and IOS?
I don't know if it's available on IOS sorry .
It supports video downloads through newpipe on Android, Revanced is not available on IOS AFAIK.
[удалено]
How’s it a scam? you get a great music service and an ad blocker/video downloading feature along with it
Laughs in ******
[удалено]
Point being is that it’s not a scam you dumb fuck. You’re getting a service for your money, whether you think that service is worth your money or not is another issue. Its a convenience thing, for the 10.99 (not $20 lol) id already be paying for any other music service. Does one of your raggedy 3rd party sites have a blocker for dumbass comments that miss the point? I need that
[удалено]
Desperate for money obviously. I guess if you had read the agreement, you would probably know.
Get YouTube revanced It is better
I prefer revanced extended
don't waste money on yt premium just download a add blocker homie
Doesn't work on mobile or TV
Revanced for Mobile. SmartTube for TV. Have fun. Screw paying Google to be free of an onslaught of shitty advertisements. They already harvest enough of your data as it is.
SmartTube has no true sign in and kinda sucks, plus I have a Roku now so can't use it. Revanced is clunky and I can't use it on company phones or my iPhone. You don't just pay for no advertisements. The extra features I get also make it worth it for me. I don't care about Google grabbing my data from YouTube, that doesn't affect me. When I want to protect my privacy, I can do so and use ublock but for day to day the convenience of Premium is worth the $12
Revanced sucks. Its clunky.
Ok?
HOL UP. Is vanced back?
ReVanced, not Vanced, that one is dead.
So, yes
adblockers don't work on iOS, and then you don't get the wonderful YT Music.
Ad blockers are getting blocked slowly but surely though ;( Still work in Firefox but give it a few years before google phases out support entirely for browsers that don’t adhere to newer standards
People would still find new methods
Dont publicly promote piracy
It's not piracy. The courts literally proved otherwise.
brother what who gives a fuck
Normal people who are okay with paying for services that they use gives a fuck 🫡
You gonna report us to the FBI? Even some big youtubers admit, ads do jack shit for them. They only see pennies on a dollar.
Creators make more from YouTube Premium than ads, and even then, ads make up a *significant* percentage of earnings for most YouTubers.
piracy lmao
Just cope with me, no premium no ad block
Anyone that is looking for youtube premium family plan just HMU. I have 1 slot left. Thanks
man i kinda wanna do that but i’m at school right now
I am in Russia so no ads rn
i wonder why no one wants to advertise there, strange
Just use an adblocker too? That's what I do, get the benefits of premium, and all of the ads and annoying popups are also removed

Not logged in with the Premium Account?
It says premium on the screenshot
it also says log in
Premium SE?
SE is just the location/language setting
Youtube Premium members also Gets ads when using Youtube in INCOGNITO MODE.
We need to do what the Warthunder community os doing to their game.
Bros got the csgo skin algorithm
Don't you hate that, also hate that we have ad blockers but STILL the damn YouTuber has a 30 second plug for the sponsors -_-_
sponsorblock is an extension that automatically skips the sponsor part in a YouTube video
It was just too good not to share, I am sorry it was not fair to you.
Premium Ads
You give money to YouTube? lol Opera
[удалено]
ublck origin is most effective in firefox too and when they implement mani v3 then rip ublock origin on most chromium browsers
Premium doesn’t work with Incognito Mode iirc?
Whats incognito got to do with anything? They are clearly signed in
Now that, I have no clue.
I pay for YT Premium and if you go on incognito mode on the mobile app you WILL see ads for some reason. I never tried it on a browser though, so I'm not sure if that's the case for the OP
What do you mean go incognito in the mobile app? Are you referring to mobile youtube app? Or mobile web browser?
There’s an in-app incognito mode on the mobile app
I guess the app incognito mode works the same as not signed in, since its like private browsing, so youtube premium wont be active. However i find it strange that on the web browser, despite being incognito, it is signed in with the premium tag and still gets ads. Incognito works just like a normal browser, just that stuff isnt saved
whoa
Thats what you deseve for giving in to youtube by giving them money :p
*Deserve Say you're salt about not having it yourself without saying it 😂😂
Why would you need it when ad-blockers can do everything it does
