I'm on it daily. A ton of hours between watching videos and enjoying the music catalogue. It's definitely the only reason I don't mind paying premium. No complaints.

My unpopular opinion is that YouTube has every right to enforce ads on their platform if you're not paying for the service.

Same here. My weekly usage is about 14h give or take 2h.
At least Youtube doesnt bother me anymore.

me but ublock origin

how? The creator of uBlock origin doesn't take donations.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 8 months ago

Using ublock origin, not donating. Donations go elsewhere

I'm a GenZ-er, and I adblock everywhere I can. What makes the difference with YouTube premium for me is that I fall asleep to YouTube videos on a TV every night, and the advertisements alone can make that experience terrible because you can't adblock YT on a TV as easily as elsewhere. Premium might be one of my best decisions I've made for a platform I spend so much time on. I still donate to Wikipedia and uBlock even if I pay the premium for other services.

I fall asleep

Typical genZ, getting those zzzz's. That's probably how they got the name.

Youtube premium makes sense for me when combined in a family account for 5 with youtube music for 17.5 USD in total.

But besides that, fuck Google. Id pirate music if I wasn't so lazy but Google diminishing anything of what I currently get would probably give me some energy.

Holy crap, it's the Florida Man!

I still donate to ... uBlock

From https://ublockorigin.com/:

The uBlock Origin project still specifically refuses donations at this time

Who are you giving money to?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 8 months ago

UBlock asks that you give to the blocklist maintainers.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

Huh, I must've misremembered.

Depents on your tv. There are good ways for some. S-tube next works for android tv for example, there is a way for webos too

Yeah I've tried this but the experience isn't all there for me imo. It's certainly a great project though.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

For me its even better, cause they included sponsorblock aswell.

You don't know what daddy and Billy did in the panel before.
