Ya, I'm used to the 'ad-free' exp from the get-go, so it's weird to have to wait there for x secs when I just want to get to the video.

In my mind the site itself is an ad, not a service, with so many of the channels creating free content for YouTube to use as they wish. No way I'm going to pay for it, and try as they might, I'll always find a way around it.

That's an interesting way to look at it. I mean, for sure it's one big, huge ad machine, but, ofc, there are lots of useful info in there too. Google is already too invasive, so anything we can do to limit its power, I'm all-onboard.

I hate ads/commercials anyway, and it positively infuriates me that TV commercials are allowed to bump their volume and brightness over the films, but it is what it is. I mute them every time. |

If I could tailor the adds, or get one short add or skip an add, that would be one thing.

No sir, that is what they were and already getting from youtube.
when it was free and ad-free youtube was working for free.... really... I dont think so... what is youtube premium going to, that money previously was NOT already going to. they run a business, they are now taking money for something... whats it going to YOU know the answer and it's not the content creators that is what all that crap youtube is showing on there ads, going to "content creators" you tube has over heads, they are a business and get FREE MONEY and TAX BENEFITS For example.... I am a contractor, anything I buy for the business or do for the business I get a tax break on, when I charge HST at 13% I ACTUALLY pay something like 8% to the CRA, I keep the rest so a multi-milltion $$$ business is taking money investing it and getting tax breaks They have ALL our data and are selling it. That's my problem, when the give money to charity they get a tax break. Honestly I don't mind targeted advertising, BMW, computers etc I dont want Sh*T about fooking cannabis (a gateway drug) I don't want crappy PSA's I pay for Netflix, I dont get a single ad I have prime and I usually get 1 ad before a show starts, but then I have 2 or 3 hours I think on episodes I dont (can't remember) I'm not paying $13 bucks so I cant see adverts (which is all your getting) and for the money NOT to go to content creators. I may do, if they say, choose which content creators you wish to see benefit from a % of your payment.. "fine" $13bucks is batshit crazy For a TRILLION $ company like google, is like you giving a few $'s to Africa to help them stop hunger. It's nothing |

Hang on. If YT was free and ad-free, how does it make money? What are they selling? Just that browser ID x37629374yb34 likes videos about cats, cars, and occasionally woodworking? I'm not surprised they're pushing to deliver more ads if that's the case!

It makes money and has always made money (like 1000's of other "Free" services) by DATA MINING
The moment somone say's you can have it for "free" they are tracking you, your location, shopping habbits, eating habits, buying habbits What % of the population does this ? How many women do that ? how many asian people eat at "xyz" Hello, do you have cookies enabled ? Do you post what you like to eat on facebook, do you have places you follow, twitter insta, youtbe ALL DATA MINING that is gold dust. Every video you or anyone else clicks on even anonymously tells yourtube something, 32k people clicked on cat vids 100k clicked on pro biden vids 150 clicked on trump vids More people are interested in cat videos than the presidential election ! ? dont think there is not something out there that isnt being tracked Your mobile phone.... your car...., How do you think google maps does traffic stats YOUR PHONE (amongst other things) |

YT *Re*Vanced
Bumping this instead of starting a new thread. Tx to Guido for suggesting this to me and I've successfully installed it into my Android phone. However, my Fire 8 tablet isn't cooperating (can't installed...parse error? no idea what's gonna on as I'm IT-illiterate) so I'm still trying to figure out how to install it there. Any help guys?
