The only time I've had an ad on YouTube with premium(on their site) is when I went in to invisible mode.

In my opinion it's absolutely stupid that invisible mode has the capability of detecting that you have an account because it skips the age verification blocker on content-sensitive videos, but it gives ads to people with premium. It's obviously able to see that you have a YouTube account so therefore it should be able to just do the next step of saying okay does this account have premium. The only thing people are asking for was it to not log the videos they're watching but they had to make it some Next Generation NASA level secret hidden profile shit that doesn't actually do anything.

Also it really bugs me that they've added ads for YouTube and beds on discord. If I have my YouTube account linked to my Discord account I should not receive ads on the in bed. It should be able to see my YouTube account via electrons cookie system and be able to link it to an account that has premium.

If I'm paying monthly for a service without ads and I see a single (1) advertisement, I should at least get a month of free subscription because the other party is in breach of contract.

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.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 days ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

lol here we are, just after a few weeks when people were defending how yt premium was the best subscription plan ever on Lemmy. people deserve to be scammed like this tbh

For everyone on Android, you can just patch the youtube app using ReVanced, which will remove ads, add sponsorblock, allow you to hide shorts and the "People also watched" sections. It can be pretty tricky to patch if you don't know what you're doing so feel free to tell me if you run into any issues.

If you don't care about the algorithm and your feed, you can get the third-party client NewPipe, it's FOSS ~~but sometimes crashes while reading some videos~~ It does not seem to crash anymore, so good thing!

Pick one!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I don't think I've ever had NP crash. What do you mean by "some videos"?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

Strange, I've had a video that crashed newpipe every time but now it seems to play fine. Maybe because it was a "Coming soon" video? Anyways it seems like it works fine now, I also had a bug where leaving the app would crash the app instead of doing background play but I also can't get it to occur again. I'll edit my original comment.

I use gray Jay instead, it has become really good the last wave of updates. Wife is on revanced, I'll change her over if gray jay adds shorts.

There is still a few paper cut issues with it, but over all I prefer gray jay over the official YouTube app.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

Well, thanks for sharing! The more options the better!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

These ads are preem, choom

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 days ago (4 children)

I get ads on premium sometimes. I think it's a fluke but def unacceptable

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 15 hours ago

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.

Is it really a fluke or just boiling the frog slowly?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

Oooh, like when the whole purpose of paying for cable television was no ads?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Check if you still have premium?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

That's what the circled logo in the top left is for

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 days ago (1 children)

It's probably a bug. And to excuse the devs at Youtube, this is the first and only Premium client.

Is it really a bug or is it just boiling the frog slowly?
