        I know, but maybe it’s related to:

        https://www.theverge.com/2024/9/23/24252145/youtube-premium-price-increase-europe-asia-middle-east-south-america

        If you haven’t “accepted” the new prices, maybe you get this half-assed Premium.

          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 :(

        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.

      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.

        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.
