Ublock Firefox on the computers, revanced on the phone, smarttube next on the TV, which is running FLauncher. Like an hour to set up once and no ads ever again. I'm a little confused by anyone agreeing to pay to unshittify a service made so irritating in the first place, and honestly how anyone puts up with ads at all when it's so easy to avoid them.

I'd consider subscribing to YouTube premium but their scummy policies they thrust on their creators is absolutely terrible. It must be hell trying to tip toe around their platform.

I recently signed up for YT premium. Don't get me wrong, I still used ad blockers and ReVanced like a mf, but considered it only fair seeing how much YT and music I have streamed.

I took it for the summer because we move a lot with the kids and it's useful for them to be able to download videos. They've been harrassing me so much to get back on through ads that I finally installed an Adblock.

I thought about getting it (instead of Amazon Music), but now YouTube is already planning to raise the cost. So nah, I'm good.

Honestly I hate the damn YouTube premium ads more than any other that I’ve seen on the platform.

Ok maybe not quite as bad as the freaking Genshin ads. Fuck you Natasha!

I technically have it via Youtube ReVanced.

Emails are open; Calls are relayed to Kurt due to me being on vacation. I will make sure to look at new emails at least once every day.

I wouldn't mind it if it weren't so insane on price. Does YouTube really get $168 of revenue per year from ad-supported users? Doubt it.

I was really interested in it when it came out on my region and still use it, better than acting like it's up to me to manually decide which content creator I bless with any sort of payment and which I don't.

If ads were the only reason, I know how to evade them in just about every platform I use.
