Discussion YouTube ads

[kkatt]

The amount of advertising on YouTube now is disgraceful.
Someone said it's because they want users to pay £15 a month for pro.
That's a lot. I have to wonder how many people would pay for it.
I mean,if there was no way round it.
Adblockers are just the best.

Adblocker all the way! I use one too.

15£ a month is a lot of money
Cheeky beggars
I wouldn't pay that

The ads on Hulu are ass too

Most of youtube is abysmal garbage anyway.
If they made adblockers illegal i'd stop watching it altogether, I find the fact that they have the nerve to ask you to sit through unskippable ads to for the privilege of experiencing said garbage outrageous enough.

I thought about it, because I stream YouTube music through my car bluetooth system and I hate having that interrupted by commercials. I don't think 15 a month is that bad really, if you consider the sheer amount of content on there.

If you think that TV service where I live is like $150 a month, and I can have Netflix, Hulu and YouTube Red combined for less than a third of that and not have a single ad, then it's not so terrible.

I didn't vote,haven't made up my mind yet.
What extra do you get for this?
Have youtube any plans to make their own content like netflix do?
Or is it just youtube without adds?
Thanks!

I just use Adblock and Addblock Plus.

But yeah it´s insane the amount of commercials there is nowadays even with adblock YouTubers do advertisement too to earn money since most try to live off of it everything in today´s modern world is about money I miss the innocent internet days.

Spotify is $5 cheaper per month though, if you're only looking to stream music. I really like Spotify.

They do have original programming like Netflix. I think there is also YouTube TV in the US but idk if that's included in premium.

@About_to_Go Thanks!
I would probably pay for it but 15£ is too much.
5£ would be enough 10£ at the most (if they added a lot more original content)

 

[Memento Mori]

using it on mobile phone is annoying, there's no way to block the buy-premium-yt-shit that pops up after every opening and every minimizing...
am not gonna pay for it since im used to it being an accessible platform for everyone...but there should be some little age restriction
myvideo belongs to maxdome now, no more free platform. hope that doesn't happen with youtube too
