Me on my home lab Invidious instance: What are “ads”?
I've had some hideous collection of ABP, ublock, and some extension that hides all shorts all on chrome and I've somehow completely dodged all the drama in the past year. I've never had to manually update or fiddle with any settings. I've seen all the crap everyone else is getting, and I constantly think its right around the corner,, but nothing. Sometimes the page loads funny and just shows a black rectangle, and i think welp they finally got to me, but an immediate refresh always fixes it. Maybe one day I'll have to deal with it

The guy who took this screenshot and posted it to Reddit likely has Premium Lite, which still shows ads on music videos. The title of the video is probably cut out to hide it.
You could also recreate this by using revanced to change the banner to yt premium but forgetting to apply the ad block patch
Premium Lite is hilarious branding. "Oh, it's high quality, but like, less. Quality Lite"
"All animals are born equal, but some are born more equal than others"
Worse experience than with just ublock origin AND you get to pay for it. Imagine being this much of a sucker
Basically the point is that you don't have to pay for the music side of Premium if you already have a different music subscription, which I think is nice. The branding is a little silly though.

They are diversifying their plans to enhance user experience or some bullshit
A year before they start serving ads then a year later to the month they start serving ads. Either that's a lucky guess which happens or he's got insider info lol
People who use premium should organize to vow to publicly shame and boycott any company putting adds in their premium plan.
Like anti commercials.
Yeah, the daymy I see an ad is the day I cancel my subscription

They even said it was a mistake when someone said they got ads before and it went viral. Google is evil.
Do? No! Evil!
Tbf it was already very telling when they removed that slogan
I want a recording of that meeting.
Fun thing, I don't want to get YouTube Premium because YouTube has a huge bunch of bugs and glitches and crap UI design and since they're the only service in the niche there's been no indication they'll ever fix their shit.
I didn't care about YouTube Music, so losing ads on stock YouTube apps was literally the only reason I was even considering getting Premium.
But if it doesn't even do the one job...?
VPN to a country with a lower cost, and sign up there. It used to be Turkey and India, where you could get a Family Plan for like $2/mo - but they’ve cracked down a bit on it.
We use YT for so much in our ‘household’ that it made sense to pool together and get Premium, and honestly it feels good having ~5 people who consume a tonne of content ad-free for nearly no cost while still supporting our preferred content creators.
They’ve brought the hammer down on this. I was happily ‘traveling to Ukraine’ with my Apple TV to watch YouTube without ads for the equivalent of around £3 a month for over a year. Last month they canned our Premium.
I use yt-dlp to download my subs into a Plex folder now. Fuck ‘em.
So they reduced their revenue from you from £3 to 0. Smooth move Google.

That’s fine, at least they just increased the family plan pricing by 60%. Oh, wait.
Yeah, 20€ instead of 13 for me
Premium+ coming in 2026 for truly ad-free experience. Premium++ coming in 2028 for truly truly ad-free experience. Premium+++ coming in 2030 for truly truly truly ad-free experience.
I for see Premium Deluxe this coming 2028.
Ad revenue is like crack to corporations. I think Google needs an intervention.
Premium# coming in 2032 for truly truly truly ad-free experience.
Premium#+ coming in 2034 for truly truly truly ad-free experience.
