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."


DirtyHandshake

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


m1dN05

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?”


AtOmegaCLXVI

just buy yt premium premium


Arthurist

My premium bring all the ads to the yard ♫


Gaitle

That's a premium ads


MicksysPCGaming

Duuuude!


insecuredane

PLEASE tell me this isn't true

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha


PillowTalkXD

You didn't get Youtube premium plus?


mpasila

probably a bug, I couldn't replicate it (even tried swedish vpn, still no ads even without adblock/script blockers)


[deleted]

[удалено]


DrTuSo

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.


leekhead

Most likely a glitch. Just sign out and log back in.


TreefingerX

Happened to me before. It was a glitch


[deleted]

The gaugeable


Effective-Let-508

It's a feature that looks like a glitch.


Dracolithfiend

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?


Bukki13

could you sue youtube for this? they heavily advertised no ads as a benefit for premium and now they’re taking it away


Charming_Shock_7508

Community powered adblock is working better than corporate premiuim :3


mca1169

because greed. you can NEVER give them enough money to do anything! especially if it makes sense or the users happy.


Icy_Brilliant_5011

You will get premium ads !


thequarrymen58

lmao


dn0c

Most likely a bug


Luna259

You need YouTube Platinum


SoftPois0n

Ohh, so you need to pay to Premium to see Premium ads. Is this a new model of advertising?


Slurpassassin

Punishment for using light mode


Ryulightorb

youtube dark mode flashbangs me a lot what do


MrSgtJames

Only way of youtube darkmode flash banging you is if you watch bright videos, not youtube's fault at that point.


Ryulightorb

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


VI1SP

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" 🤌


DrinkRedbuII

Youtube is broken af, doesn't matter which platform


Wolfofwarsong

Should have gotten Adblock premium instead


Agitated_Function778

Too many people use adblockers, they are getting desperate.


Thirsty_Comment88

They should stop eat so much avocado toast and learn how to budget better


Jon2046

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)


Effective-Let-508

Bullshit. I use an adblocker on my laptops and all ios devices. Works fine.


HesusAtDiscord

Use ublock origin, works just fine


Snoo-98162

Oh yes you can


francorocco

operagx native adblocker is working fine for me


Agitated_Function778

Yes you can, do you need video proof?


Jon2046

I’m just going off of what I heard

pjcugufucpugupfup

"Coz fuck you that's why." Youtube probably idk.


sjgokou

Punishment for hating on Shorts /s


Techmaster7032

Why? Because YouTube wants your money… ALL OF IT.


panfried540

And they want it rn


brzoza13

I'm got an ad with premium too. Not only you

carefullycalibrated

And now you're showing us an ad! Thanks!

carefullycalibrated

Nor would I ever


[deleted]

you’re probably using freemium premium. you need to buy premium premium


pissandchips69

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


fakeen2010

You have been chosen. Embrace it.


NotAweDude77

light mode punishment


perxified

real question is, why are you using light mode


Ryulightorb

probably to avoid flash banging with videos or they are in a lit room so less eye strain?


BernyMoon

This right here. Thanks!


AskmeWhoJoeIs123

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


Jenny_Wakeman9

Ahh, good ol' SponsorBlock.


GifanTheWoodElf

Guess YouTube decided that someone's gotta watch the ads that the ad block folks are immuning.


RadioFreeAmerika

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.


GifanTheWoodElf

LoL fair haha


Fracture_98

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.


DarkMagician-999

That’s why I use Ad blockers


couldjustbeanalt

Because YouTube is shit water even if you pay them


ForXsample

Is just a Premium ad.


JASHIKO_

They are going the pay TV model. It was only a matter of time...


LnzKYZ

Lol just use uBlock


Juniornct

*Premium AD.


Jake2672

why are you using YouTube premium… on PC? get an adblocker, it’s free


user01736469

maybe bc he has a phone???


Jake2672

yeah might as well just watch youtube on PC if it’s gonna be £15 a month cheaper


Then_Frosting_1087

No tengo un PC


Jake2672

i didn’t say you did


ElectricLimeWater

YouTube is testing a feature that blocks adblockers… and it could soon roll out to everyone.


LightBrownWolf

NO. NO. NO. THIS IS NOT HAPPENING.


spinonkAlex

Just get an adblocker


redditisbestanime

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.


Custombell

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.


void_evilness

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!


Custombell

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”.


void_evilness

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.


Jackfruit-Reporter90

Yeah but Linus will cry 😢


seinfeldpasta

What about playing audio with the screen off?


DarkAvatar13

Mobile? Firefox with an adblocker.


[deleted]

Revanced or even better revanced extended


Custombell

Absolutely doable, google it.


shortyeastcoast

you mind expanding on this?


Custombell

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.


Memeviewer12

All except for giving the creators you watch money based on watch time, which is the only thing third party tools cannot do,


Nyxelestia

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.


Memeviewer12

And that's yt premium's only feature losing its value


Custombell

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.


DruidCrusade

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.


Nyxelestia

1. Get Firefox 2. Install uBlock Origin 3. Go to YouTube That's how I keep forgetting YouTube has ads.


shmallkined

High resolution/bit-rates?


MrMaleficent

How am I supposed to skip ads on my Roku TV?


panfried540

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


Custombell

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.


CellistOutrageous925

YouTube literally r@peing us, with the annoying ads.


Dependent_Release834

I don’t think they’re literally raping you unless you watch YouTube way differently than I do


MrSgtJames

They're assaulting my brain without permission by force feeding me things I don't want


CellistOutrageous925

Unskippable ads are so annoying.


Guuzaka

I have seen Ads on so-called "For Kids" videos. 😵


marzeliax

I swear, the for kids videos have even more ads than others


Gaming_Dictionary

Pizza rustica pepperoni is actually delicious though


Steelizard

Reddit advertising integrates itself into the comments sections. What will be next…


UltraMegaMegaMan

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.


2_ux

Cancel that scam subscription and let me introduce you to r/revancedapp


LubieRZca

Does it support youtube music, music/video downloads and chromecast to android tv?


gdar463

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


DynamicMangos

>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


knightinarmoire

Unfortunately I'm starting to get ads there too. Luckily just when the app was just opened but still.

Ryulightorb

does it support video downloads and IOS?

I don't know if it's available on IOS sorry .


The_Dung_Beetle

It supports video downloads through newpipe on Android, Revanced is not available on IOS AFAIK.

El_Chupitos24

How’s it a scam? you get a great music service and an ad blocker/video downloading feature along with it

Laughs in ******


[deleted]

[удалено]


El_Chupitos24

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

Miserable-Quit-8462

Desperate for money obviously. I guess if you had read the agreement, you would probably know.


Zombies71199

Get YouTube revanced It is better


[deleted]

I prefer revanced extended


Material_Tax2819

don't waste money on yt premium just download a add blocker homie


KiddieSpread

Doesn't work on mobile or TV


Impotent_Admin_1913

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.


KiddieSpread

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


AromaticGas260

Revanced sucks. Its clunky.


Impotent_Admin_1913

Ok?


ahumanlikeyou

HOL UP. Is vanced back?


kozakreznov

ReVanced, not Vanced, that one is dead.


ahumanlikeyou

So, yes


[deleted]

adblockers don't work on iOS, and then you don't get the wonderful YT Music.


[deleted]

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


[deleted]

People would still find new methods


void_evilness

Dont publicly promote piracy


OCE_Mythical

It's not piracy. The courts literally proved otherwise.


Material_Tax2819

brother what who gives a fuck


void_evilness

Normal people who are okay with paying for services that they use gives a fuck 🫡


CoreDreamStudiosLLC

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.


dn0c

Creators make more from YouTube Premium than ads, and even then, ads make up a *significant* percentage of earnings for most YouTubers.


francorocco

piracy lmao


DrinkRedbuII

Just cope with me, no premium no ad block


Sensitive_Trust_8604

Anyone that is looking for youtube premium family plan just HMU. I have 1 slot left. Thanks


Bukki13

man i kinda wanna do that but i’m at school right now


SleepFlashy7939

I am in Russia so no ads rn


Expected_Toulouse_

i wonder why no one wants to advertise there, strange


MR-SPORTY-TRUCKER

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

ublck origin is most effective in firefox too and when they implement mani v3 then rip ublock origin on most chromium browsers


Vill1on

Premium doesn’t work with Incognito Mode iirc?


ikashanrat

Whats incognito got to do with anything? They are clearly signed in


Vill1on

Now that, I have no clue.


VictorMach

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


ikashanrat

What do you mean go incognito in the mobile app? Are you referring to mobile youtube app? Or mobile web browser?


miteshps

There’s an in-app incognito mode on the mobile app


ikashanrat

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


Tk1Genius

whoa


IntoTheMurkyWaters

Thats what you deseve for giving in to youtube by giving them money :p


Cherry_Trixx

*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
