YouTube is unusable without YouTube Premium.Ads are filled with AI, scams, false advertisement mobile games, and shills convincing me to download an AI app to get more money from car accidents. What the fuck is Google doing? I like having YouTube open on my phone while I do other stuff in the background but I get an ad every 3 minutes.
>>106425862>without YouTube Premium.Does premium fix bad creators is that what it does? That would make me consider if that was true.
>>106425862Get uBlock Origin and Revanced. Don't give them money until they make a product worth buying.
Firefox + UBO + UM = no ads. No ads at all.This sounds like a phonecuck problem.
>>106425915>>106425953That doesn't fix how god awful the algorithm has become and the type of "people" benefiting.
>>106425961So? I just use DDG to search Youtube these days, it actually works correctly.
>>106425862
>>106425862>YouTube is unusable without YouTube Premium.That's their goal.PC: Any browser capable of running the real uBlock Origin, not the new Lite one. Optionally also uMatrix and a bit of fiddling with it. Or Brave. Android: Revanced or Newpipe. Or Brave.iOS: Brave.
>>106425975>DDGWhat is DDG?
>>106425862/g/ has been telling you for decades to de-google your life, you didn't listen. Get the fuck outta here with this shit. This is what Youtube always was, you're just forced to see it now because they are no longer pretending to be Good Guy Google, they can do whatever they want to because dumbfucks like you-- yes, (you) have created this problem by contributing to one big basket which Google owns. If you don't like it, stop using Youtube. It only gets worse as long as people continue to be complacent and use it regardless of what they do. Otherwise shut the fuck up and go be dumb somewhere else. You get what you deserve.
>>106425862thinking of setting up a local invidious instance. it's basicially yt-dlp with a browsable webiste
>>106425953>Firefox + UBO + UM = no ads. No ads at all.i have that setup and I still get UBO deteckted
>>106426145I've been using UBO, Sponsor Block, DeArrow, YT Shorts Block, and Vanced/Revanced since they first released. Besides the related videos turning into the "suggested video" slop, YouTube has been great lately. Let the normies pay with ads and "premium" while I enjoy my ad-free, sponsor-free, clickbait-free, shorts-free content.
>>106426166I've never seen this, how does it manifest?Have you updated all your filters etc?
>>106425862>YouTube is unusable without YouTube Premium.Google are making an insane amount from people so fed up of their parents/grandparents clicking scam ads they just sign them up for premium that's the business model clearly, make the product totally unusable without premiumsure you can use other alts but they break every other month too and then you are still waiting for a fix. The ads on google now are worse than the malware of the early 2000s
>>106426276maybe it was the internet providers DNS when I was visiting family
>>106425862google knows youtube is fucked because they added a soft sponsorblock to premium. their algorithm is basically useless but my subscription feed is dead.>>106425915>Don't give them money until they make a product worth buying.I don't know how little your income is but all other ways of watching youtube break all the time. Premium is cheap for what you're getting.
>>106426145shut the fuck up I don't wanna hear shit from anyone that has to type a captcha to tell me their retard i r so smart shit you are fucked like everyone else fuck off you utter cretin
>use youtube on tv>resume video>50 second ad from the beginning>it then seeks to the time I last played>another 50 seconds of ads start playing>a minute later is the next ad trigger point>another 50 seconds of unskippable ads>keeps telling me there are fewer ads for this long video which is a clear lie
>>106426324You have to be more careful or people will realize you are a Google employee.
>>106425862i've had premium for a few months and to be honest it feels like i've watched all the good content and all that's left is slopthe few good creators that exist can't pump out content fast enough to justify a permanent subscription
>>106425862>he watches videos on his phoneEyeraper
>>106425862>adswut?
>>106426263You forgot the before:<year> bullshit that is needed to clean up Search results.I just want the 2014 version back wtf.
when you pay, you don't get ads and you get youtube music free, makes casting to the TV a joy
>using jewtube without addblockers, custom user script and specialized extensionsngmi
>>106426661I use an adblocker and all but I am not installing chinese malware from greasyfork
use a youtube client and stop using web browsers for youtube
>>106426759ho wait, didn't realize you're a phone poster, mb sorry for you terminal brain cancer anon, hope you had great life
>>106426772>bro stop using the operating system where it's easy to control the code running on your computer, use the one where it's hardhow about you die
>>106426772>>106426845Why not both?
>>106426845there are desktop youtube clients
>>106426865they're all extremely inferior to using the official web client with extensions.
>>106425862You mean all that pink salt I've been drinking isn't going to clear my stuck poop? Why would they lie?Next you're going to tell me those solar panels the government put on my roof aren't free. Stop spreading misinformation
>youtube is unusable without an alternative front-endftfyhttps://github.com/user234683/youtube-local
>>106427922web browser frontends are just as bad for resource usage
>>106426895This.>>106428038Not really if you already have web browser open.
>>106425961Nah, it actually works pretty well if you aren't retarded. Youtube will keep pushing the usual popular channels for a bit but they eventually disappear based on how many you block and your viewing habits. If you still get shit recommendations then that's because you have shit taste.
>>106428038Youtube is a mess of jeetslop. Alt front-ends are always minimal.
>>106428059it still takes more memory and uses javascript while a native frontend can be written in a compiled language>>106428083not really, things like freetube are just electron web app
Did you ever consider just... not using YouTube?>wahhhh but where else am i going to watch some retarded basedcuck do a 4 hour video essay about some arcane piece of techYou're part of the problem.
>>106428154>it still takes more memory and uses javascript while a native frontend can be written in a compiled languageNot my problem when I have several tabs open for multi-tasking purposes, at least I can read comments.
>>106426083Daddy and girl, also used as DDLG as in daddy and little girl.
>>106428154Well I've never recommended freetube. I don't get the point of a standalone app when you click a youtube link and it still opens normal youtube in your browser.
>>106425862Considering what non premium looks like now is how premium is going to look soon, you need an ad blocker instead.
>>106425953This. I have Firefox + UBO + NoScript.Only ads I see are embed in the video itself by the content creator. Can just skip them with the navigator.>>106425961I don't have this problem, I see content from channels I've subscribed to.I'll quit yt the day this doesn't work anymore. Not that it's important site anyways.
>>106429363Get sponsorblock
>>106425862Ad networks like Google should be held liable for scam ads, not sure why that isn't the case already.
>>106426562>>106425953>>106426470Complaining about phonefags doesn't change the fact that watching something boring in bed like basketball or hoi4 let's plays cures insomnia
>>106431166It's not even a phonefag problem if you're not completely oblivious. Both Brave and Firefox allow adblocking on mobile. As well as playing audio with the screen off. Premium is just a donation, it offers nothing. In fact, afaik it only lets you run videos through their app if you download them, meaning it gives you even less than piracy.
>>106425862Tubular works better than youtube premium for me.
Brave browser on mobile dont midcurve this
>>106425862Just use the Brave browser, it's open-source, no ads or trackers and it lets you listen to music even when your phone is closed.
>>106431202>Both Brave and Firefox allow adblocking on mobileYeah, but the app has notifications
>>106426263>filtering shortsShame, drug addict redneck kino is waiting for you.
>>106426324One day you brown subhumans will get publicly torn apart.
>>106431348NTA but why do I need notifications for something I am going to be looking at anyway eventually throughout the day? I don't do live streams because I like being able to pause without missing anything if I got to go do something.
>>106431228It's that easy!
>>106431387So I can instantly respond to my audience
>>106431228I literally did this today and then deleted the Youtube app.
>>106431348Can't you do both then? Keep the app for notifications and then watch the videos in-browser.
>>106425862>What are they doing?They're turning YT into a subscription based cable network. Surely you've heard stories about Cable. It's like this:- All your media options are created by companies for normies- You pay to watch commercials- There's 3 billion channels but 5 different formulas for shows- For some reason your favorite characters keep mentioning Jews
>>106431467Fair enough
>>106428657my youtube client opens video in video players like mpv so no web browser is involved
>>106426324I have to update revanced maybe once or twice a year. Takes me less than 10 mins. Oppsed to spending an extra 20 mins per year at work I can just get the non ad experience for free. uBlock never broke for longer than 1 hour before its updated. I will N E V E R spend my fucking time watching bullshit advertisements on my own volition. Hope you die disgusting corpo dick sucking faggot shill.
>>106426339>using a “tv” in 2025anon… i
>>106425862Youtube on brave just werks
>>106426145YouTube really is the heart of the internet when you think about it, social media site come and go but it stands with no equal, forsaking it is painful and never worth the hassle
>>106425862stop using it then? Its not a requirement to live your life.
