Check if you still have premium?
That’s what the circled logo in the top left is for
I know, but maybe it’s related to:
If you haven’t “accepted” the new prices, maybe you get this half-assed Premium.
How is this a shitpost? Is it a fake screenshot?
YouTube is a shitpost.
These ads are preem, choom
these posts are just getting ridiculous. USE. BRAVE. OR. FIREFOX.
did not know that, thanks. well, the biggest plus for me on brave was the background play option. any other browsers you recommend instead of it that has this feature?
You mean on android mobile? Firefox for Android has a extension that works nicely to allow you to play e.g. youtube videos in the background: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/video-background-play-fix/
For iOS though I’ve got no idea, sorry :(
yes android thanks
idk what browsers that is it sorry.
What ads? (Firefox and adblocker)
Yep… although… Lately my TV PC’s CPU has been groaning under the weight of all the Firefox addons required to make YouTube usable lol.
Less is sometimes more honestly. Its likely you’ve got so much running that they’re fighting each other. See if you’ve got overlapping features and remove as many as possible while still keeping the same functionality.

A few years ago I got this experience on mobile and posted about it on r/assholedesign, but it was autoremoved as a banned repost even though I didn’t see anything like it. Yet another ban happy subreddit, I’m glad to be out of that place. This is truly awful though, and why I’m happy to use revanced.
The second I get an ad on premium I cancel my subscription. Blocking ads on apple tv wasn’t easy, but Ill find a way
Same not paying a dollar if they do that shit. I’d rather become a patron of the channels I like.
Get rid of the apple TV next if that doesn’t let you.
Sideload the uYou+Extras app on your iPhone and then just use AirPlay to watch youtube videos on apple TV. Gets around adverts 99% of the time. Sometimes one will slip through, just close the video and reopen it and it’ll not have an advert anymore.

I get ads on premium sometimes. I think it’s a fluke but def unacceptable
It’s a bug with the android app.
I’ve seen it maybe 3 times in 8ish years on my phone. Never once in the TV app.
I get ads on premium sometimes. I think it’s a fluke but def unacceptable
That’s among the reasons why even with premium an ad blocker is required.
Is it really a fluke or just boiling the frog slowly?
Oooh, like when the whole purpose of paying for cable television was no ads?
Damn I just have ublock origin, so I never get ads and I don’t pay a cent. Hope your premium membership works out for you tho
Thanks, I’m still grandfathered in at the beta price, but I mainly use it for discovering music to add to my Plex collection. The free YouTube is a bonus for me.
I know it’s temporary, I’ll probably cancel when Im asked to pay full price
I didn’t realize that they still had grandfather’s subscriptions, I was the same where I got it at a lower price, but they decided that they weren’t going to honor that price 2 years ago and raised it anyway. I’ve told myself I’m dropping the sub if it goes up again because honestly it’s current price is a little outrageous. But I watch over a thousand hours of YouTube a year so therefore it’s worth it to me.
The thing is I don’t think I’m supposed to be. They said they’d terminate it so I’m just grateful for the borrowed time I have.
I’ve been subscribed since the minute GPM launched the beta.

Jesus, what a miserable outlook. Maybe take a break from being online for a while.
I think what you meant to say is “touch grass.”
Because why express a thought in your own words when you can parrot some annoying phrase everyone else says?
Why waste the effort?
Sarcasm I hope
I was thinking more like “pursue therapy” but that works, too
Probably the lower tier of premium that’s being tested in Germany.

Huh weird, the only reason to use Premium is to cut out the adverts.
“Would you like to buy Premium?” “Ooh, what do I get?” “YOU GET NOTHING! GOOD DAY SIR!”
Less ads I guess? Idk
The add is German for sure so that would make sense
It also says “DE” next to the logo, so yeah.
Redditor username have Germany too.
And they have a German accent. I can tell from the way they type.
Having seen plenty of pixels in my time, I can confirm that those are German pixels.
German data comes in bittes
Also barbie Deutsch…hmm, we may need to hire a forensic scientist to solve this.

If Premium Lite was like described in the article, just ad free YouTube without other features like YouTube Music, but for half the price, then it would actually be a good deal
But since the user is getting ads it seems like something else
The poor-mans-premium. Subpremium. Ingenious.
And this is why i,won’t start paying them money. They will never be content and will just keep pushing ads further and further.
Yeah the price will increase or ads or both. But it never just stops. It’s never enough
The growth must continue!
Even when you’ve reached complete market saturation…
I have premium too once I saw an ad and complained and it turned out to be a bug. I even had engineers reach out with questions when they were fixing the issue.
Maybe that has happened here? They have announced any changes.
raises the question why pay for premium
For premium ads.
i dont care how “premium” ads are im not paying for them
Maybe they’re premium ads because the advertisers pay extra for access to a pool of self-selected suckers.
Fucking called it
Fuck you man! You gave them the idea.
Quick, what’s tomorrow’s winning numbers?
Not the ones you picked
4, 8, 15, 16, 23, and 42
WE HAVE TO GO BACK!
No
More like next years
8 6 7 5 30 9
Lol that is gold
Does lemmy have agedlikewine and agedlikemilk?
wpggThe only benefit now, but what if they start to serve 30 non-skippable ads without premium and ONLY 5 with premium, what a deal! Right?
the “lesser evil” strategy is so hot rn
