Comment on YouTube's plan backfires, people are installing better ad blockers

Controversial take but:

As for myself personally, I watched YouTube with ads for the last 2 or 3 years, and more recently I decided to start playing for YouTube Premium.

YouTube Premium made sense for me because:

Before all of that, I used to use YouTube Vanced (RIP) and NewPipe, both great though not entirely legit ways of bypassing ads and downloading videos. I still use the latter to archive the really good content I come across.

If you’re ok to pay for YouTube, but it’s too expensive for the value you get out of it, there are alternative approaches. You can spoof your location and buy YouTube Premium in another country, like Turkey or India, and get it for as low as $2 a month. Google doesn’t crack down on this much at the time of writing.
