I pay for premium because I don't have a real PC. Heresy, I know. When I watch YouTube on my PS5 app I can't use an adblocker. There's solutions, sure, but I've gotten rid of almost every other sub service BUT YouTube prem at this point.

I guess I'm saying all of this because I feel guilty about paying for YouTube fucking premium lmao

Don't feel guilty. If it works for you, that's all that matters. I've been a Premium customer for a few years now just because I think the provided services and lack of ads are worth it. Nothing wrong with paying for services you enjoy.

Ehh, I have it too and I don't mind paying. But, I'm still paying $7.99 a month since I was an early adopter of Google music, R.I.P....

This is the way.

I've been paying since the early GPM days and at this point, everything else is more expensive. It just makes financial sense to keep YT Premium.

To me it is the opposite.

I will never use a network device to browse the internet if it doesn't have a proper adblocker.

Don't feel guilthy though

I wouldn't feel guilty. A lot of the content creators make some really great stuff that takes a lot of their own time and resources, why shouldn't they get paid for that?

Here's a trick, don't let YT know: if you close the video as soon as an ad loads, there will be no ads when you open it again.

I don't think you should feel guilty if you use it. I'm at a point where i have more enjoyment in finding youtube adblock loopholes than using youtube itself. I don't have a console but i'd love to find a good adblock/sponsorblock that works on a ps 5
