Comment on Lemmy users when I mention I pay for Youtube Premium

  This works fine but the main reason I personally have premium is to support the YouTubers I watch. Adblock gets rid of their revenue while premium pays them MORE than just ads do and now I don’t have to worry about it on any platform.

    Premium still gives them hardly anything. Subscribing to their Patreon is better because they get all your money, minus the small fee.

      True but I can afford premium. I can’t afford every single persons patreon.

      It gives them a loot more than ad watchers though. Especially on longer videos (it’s based on watch time)

  How do you run that on a smart tv?

    I don’t. I just plug a pc directly to my tv.

    Smart tube, or I’ve been told a pi hole works as well. I haven’t bothered with that though, because I don’t like watching YT on TV myself. Out of the two, the pi hole is probably the better option since it works with all your devices.

      I use adblock on Firefox on my phone. Used to be fun to jailbreak and install my own apps and stuff, just getting lazier as I age I think

    Yes. I pay for YouTube Music for my six account family and, as a side benefit, we all get ad-free YouTube.

      Not YouTube music, YMusic…

  Since youtube has been starting to wage war against adblock I decided to try out using freetube and have been enjoying it. It does have some limitations but since its not tied to the algorithm it reminds me of how I used to have to browse youtube in the older days. Also I feel like the up-next option is way more valuable than it is with the algorithm. Instead of being based off of what I watch its like the old method so it might recommend more vids from the creator or channels like the creator.

  Instead of stuff that Ive already watched or am already subscribed to, or that one weird thing the algorithm is pushing for no reason that I keep ignoring but it keeps shoving at me.

  Discovery requires a little more creativity with searching and for some categories this can get broad, but the result is finding more teeny tiny creators as well which is neat.

    I was getting blocked for having uBlock Origin, but how I solved that was to purge the filter lists in the settings and re-download them. Now I can watch again.

      Oh yeah that does work as well, but I decided to give the open source front end a try as well and enjoyed the experience enough to keep at it.

  I also have No ads, because I use NewPipe. There I can watch all Videos from YouTube, cccBerlin, pearTube and it is also possible to Listen to Music from Bandcamp and Soundcloud.
