Oof I think this service is only worth it if you have a family plan and everyone helping. That is how I personally make it reasonable in terms of pricing.
You must log in or register to comment.
Yeah sure
Gripping tight onto my initial grandfathered price from Google play music. $8
Yeah. I’ve still got my $10 a month price for YouTube Red.
I have the $10 price from Google Play Music and just got an email saying they were jacking my price to $14, but because I’ve been such a long-time user they’re giving me until December.
Just woke up this morning to the same email.
What is the point of Youtube Premium anyway?
You can download videos with it, which is quite useful for train rides or flights.
I’ve been sailing the last few years so far out, I can’t see the land anymore. And kinda don’t care about land anymore…
I wish I didn’t have to pay for premium, but we’re all iOS users and we use Smart TVs and Chromcasts to cast and I’m not sure how to block ads on those (not Android TV, Samsung TVs).
If there’s a way to block ads there I’d love to know. I can’t really use AltStore either, I’ve tied it in the past and I don’t always have the means to refresh every 7 days.
But I think they will cut access without ads soon enough, and I do agree someone needs to pay for the service.
My problem is quality of the platform went down with higer quality of production. Those with better production are doing better than those with quality content. Additionally it started looking like TV network with dozen big shows, and not enough random content. Ex. they always recommend me videos with 1M+ views, even thou a I want only ones with less than 100k.
I have been dusting of my podcast players for some time. I like to have a video, but looks like price is too high for me. Audio will be good.
Doesn’t it let YouTube ads go through? Because they use the same domains for videos and ads? AFAIK Pi Hole can’t block YT ads right?
Correct.
Pi hole does not work for YouTube (or Twitch or many others). It doesn’t work for services who distribute ads from their own servers.
If you had Android instead of iOS you may have been able to use an ad-free youtube client and cast to TV, but if you’re streaming on the TV, or from iOS, I don’t know how you’d go about blocking ads.
