I also got YouTube premium, felt a bit rude to spend tens of thousands of hours without paying a cent.
My main issue is demonitising the videos also stops premium revenue, which is a bit dumb. Like sure I get removing ad revenues, but if I’m a paying customer and want a share of my cost to go to whoever I’m watching, it should just do that.
There was a workaround to signuo for YouTube premium using a VPN to turkey. It makes it $3 a month. Maybe it’s 5 now with the price hike, idk. Not sure if it still works or not though
I dont. I just use revanced on my phone and smart tube next on TV.
Google will not get a dime from me as long as they engage in political censorship and remove channels for political reasons.
Yeah I’ve had YouTube premium for a long time, and I don’t mind paying for it, but the fact half the people I follow are getting copyright claimed (unfairly) or taken down is really a huge bummer. It’s been hitting the true crime & film review communities particularly hard. I’m hoping more of my fave creators start using Odyssee or rumble because I don’t really like supporting a platform who treats their creators like shit.
I subscribed to Youtube Premium because of how much I actually use it in my day to day life.
It’s the only regular subscription I have, only because I use it across multiple platforms and away from home.
But the price hike they just announced is unjustified, especially when they KEEP TAKING DOWN MY FAVORITE CREATORS VIDEOS. Poor Speedo and David Firth.
*Edits for spelling, I’m pissed off and piss drunk

This is why I’ll never pay for Premium, but I’ll cheerfully join a creator’s Patreon or other direct subscription if I really enjoy their channel.

Thanks, I didn’t know YT Vanced was being continued
UYouPlus + AltStore exists for apple users as a Vanced like app too. Works without a jailbreak as well.
Though it is a bit of a mess around because apple.

What are the benefits to YouTube Premium? I just click off the ad, knee jerk reaction. AdBlock for YouTube make my experience pretty happy.
I do like laying in bed with my gf and watching Omletto videos and the like. Not sure how Premium would help.
