| nowhere near comparable experience if you want to seamlessly use your YT account across a TV + phone + computer i'd rather pay the $10 than pay with my time by being an ad-block whack-a-mole diagnostician |

| ▲ | cbdevidal 9 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | For those of us who are too cheap to pay the subscription: On my iPhone I almost never see YTube ads. I don’t use the YTube app and instead I install Chrome and watch YT that way. I lose notifications—which is perfect for me, since I don’t want many notifications on my phone anyway. This might also work in Safari but I haven’t tested it. | | |

that is being done as open source community efforts now: NewPipe for mobile, SmartTube for smart TVs etc.
All you have to do is update them once in a while | |

| I mean it’s just $10. People are making livelihoods based off from YouTube. I get not liking ads, but if you have the option to go ad free for a low cost, why not do it? Do you pay for any of Netflix, Paramount, AppleTV, etc.? |

It requires the use of a google account and there is no way to even request opting out of the accompanying data harvesting. Any "curation" or "recommendation" that would inevitably happen is also an anti-feature. >Do you pay for any of Netflix, Paramount, AppleTV, etc.? No | |
| ▲ | macNchz 9 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | I find that all of Google’s ad products are under-moderated for malicious ads. It’s a choice on their part to not tightly control this—they certainly could, though it would harm their incredible profitability if they did more scrutiny on the ads they show. I personally don’t especially care to pay a premium not to see deepfakes of celebrities promoting crypto scams. | |
| ▲ | frizlab 9 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | I refuse to give google any cent (and I also do not use youtube at all, so at least I’m consistent). | |
| ▲ | johnnyanmac 3 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | It's a 15 now. And yes, thars the issue. I pretty much unsubscribed from Disney+, HBO, and Netflix becsuse I can't just have multiple 15 dollar subscriptions add up. As of now, YouTube, Rider, and Google One are my only subs. And I should really shuffle around space so I can unsub from One. | |

| ▲ | twobitshifter 4 hours ago | parent [-] | | Isn’t it a hassle to pay everyone for each video you watch? Do you use the Super Thanks feature or do it some other way? |
