Lemmy users when I mention I pay for Youtube Premium
Somehow paying for Netflix is fine but god forbid I want to watch a 10 hour loop of the DS9 intro without ads.
You're viewing a single thread.
And here I am, getting the same thing and paying nothing because I've got uBlock Origin.
This works fine but the main reason I personally have premium is to support the YouTubers I watch. Adblock gets rid of their revenue while premium pays them MORE than just ads do and now I don't have to worry about it on any platform.
Premium still gives them hardly anything. Subscribing to their Patreon is better because they get all your money, minus the small fee.
True but I can afford premium. I can't afford every single persons patreon.
It gives them a loot more than ad watchers though. Especially on longer videos (it's based on watch time)
How do you run that on a smart tv?
Seriously, this is why I eventually got it. Plus my android vanced stopped working and I didn't know there was a way to fix it
ReVanced
I did, but that still only solves mobile and I mostly watch on the TV
For TV SmartTubeNext and you're all set.
Look up
I don't. I just plug a pc directly to my tv.
Smarttube
Smart tube, or I've been told a pi hole works as well. I haven't bothered with that though, because I don't like watching YT on TV myself. Out of the two, the pi hole is probably the better option since it works with all your devices.
Smartnexttube
There's always one.
I also have No ads, because I use NewPipe. There I can watch all Videos from YouTube, cccBerlin, pearTube and it is also possible to Listen to Music from Bandcamp and Soundcloud.
YMusic
Yes. I pay for YouTube Music for my six account family and, as a side benefit, we all get ad-free YouTube.
Not YouTube music, YMusic....
Honestly not worth the trouble on mobile

I use adblock on Firefox on my phone. Used to be fun to jailbreak and install my own apps and stuff, just getting lazier as I age I think
Unless you're on an iPhone, setting up Revanced takes less than 10 minutes and very rarely breaks anything. If you want to support your YouTube creators, then sure pay for premium, but it baffles me how someone could have the technical prowess to set up a Lemmy account, but then balk at something like this. If anything, mobile might be one of the last frontiers now that they're starting a war against adblock.
