adnausium simulates a click on the ads to waste the advertising companies money since they pay per click.

Haven't they started rolling out ads in premium

It takes the YouTube app file (.apk) that you download and modifies it to include or exclude certain features.

The premium that includes youtube music does not have ads yet. I've heard the cheaper one that doesn't include music has ads, but I can't confirm that.

There's a Premium Lite subscription which includes ads on certain kinds of videos (among which music, I believe)

Tweet of someone saying "the best adblock for YouTube is a Premium sub" which has been photoshopped in a way to imply that the person who Tweeted has the occupation of "Slave"

I don’t mind paying for the service at a reasonable price. The US pricing is out of control.

But I have a VPN so I don’t pay that much. Sometimes YouTube kicked me off and I use another location.

But like why? IM TRYING TO PAY YOU, YOUTUBE. The next step is full Adblock and you get nothing.

Its like they don’t even want my money and would rather I just block the ads for free.

I don't have a phone except working one which doesn't allow installation of any APKs, plus my wife also uses YT Music and YouTube family subscription

Because I use the YouTube app on Apple TV. It doesn’t have all the fancy stuff. Plus I want to kinda support the dozens of creators I watch without spending $120/month since they’d all be Patreon/Twitch.

YouTube has a revenue split with it's creators? Ads (and therefore Premium) are often a good part of a creator's income?

It may not support them by a lot, but it supports them infinitely more than blocking all ads.

I suppose that is so; but if you'd ask them whether they'd also rather have the ad revenue, I would assume most of them would say yes.

Ah, yes. Make fun of me for signing up with some domain when I was still clueless about Lemmy. Thanks. Really appreciate the generalisation.

Donate a single dollar once to each of your favorite creators and you're already supporting them more than by watching with YT Premium or watching ads. The creators get a tiny fraction of the ad & subscription revenue, while YouTube keeps most for themselves - that's who you're really supporting with premium

It's not that I disagree with you here, but what percentage do you think a traditional production company gets out of the ad revenue a TV station pulls?

A single month of patreon is gonna give them more money than watching all their videos with ads, you can just rotate

I pay for YouTube Premium because I use uBlock origin and Sponsor Block.

I still want to support the creators I watch without the need to Patreon any single one.

If you want to support the creators, then donating is pretty much the only option.

Every year YouTube pays the creators less and demonitizes more videos for no reason. Almost nothing from YouTube Premium is going to creators. You're basically supporting YouTube and nobody else.
