I had Youtube Premium - actually I think it was the family subscription - for a year or two. I cancelled it maybe a year ago, because they kept pushing shorts with no way of opting out, they jacked up the price, and they changed the algorithm in a way that made it keep recommending shit that I never, ever wanted to watch. I cancelled that sub and figured out how to get ads blocked on my desktop, phone and apple TV and I’ve showed 10+ people how to get that working since.
So good job on that mission you’re on Google. Really making some money I bet.
I pay for premium… but also like my sponsorblock… and 3rd party clients. Let me have it all momma Google.
I can’t justify premium. For the same price I can buy for my family:
AppleTV+, Amazon Prime Video and Disney+
Or:
YouTube but without ads
How do you pay it though? With a US credit card?
NZD.
AppleTV+ ($14.99, Amazon Prime Video ($10.99) and Disney+ ($14.99) = $40.97 per month
YouTube Premium = $39.99 per month
Get a VPN and make a quick trip to Turkey or Ukraine where you can get it for about 2€/month
Once you sign up and pay in Türkiye does it just keep working back in your home country?
Yes, it’s been working for a year now. I set my location back to Germany right after subscribing to premium
Sponsorblock is awesome!
Which 3rd party clients are you using?
SmartTube on TV, Revanced on my phone, and the first party website on my computer.
What do those do for you if you already pay for premium?
