“So you’re saying there’s a chance?” - YouTube execs
What’s that from? I’m legitimately curious, it looks like some very cool technology.
Some science nerd did it. With science.
It’s literally the only subscription I think is worth having. But I get it, you do you!
I know it’s irrational but at this point if I bought premium I would feel like I’ve been bullied into it.
It would feel less sour if they didn’t lock other features like background play into premium, for me that’s too much of a dark pattern to support.
Honestly, I couldn’t give tuppenny fuck about background play, or any of the other shit they bundle in. I literally just want to be able to watch YT on my Apple TV without having to suffer through unending adverts, but I’m not prepared to pay those ratfucking shit heads £20+ for the family plan just to be able to do that.
I was happy as shit using my Ukrainian YT Premium account, paying £4 a month to watch videos. It was great. Never used YT Music because I didn’t fucking want to, never had videos playing in the background because I didn’t fucking need to. Then they were all like “Errr, we don’t think you’re in Ukraine so you have to pay us more”. And fuck that noise.
So now I watch the odd video on my laptop on Freetube and have been researching how to run the thing that automatically downloads my subs and adds them to Plex. I’m a dumb shit though, so can’t figure it out.
I didn’t even think about adding yt stuff to Plex. Thanks for mentioning it, I’ll go into that rabbit hole now
If you can figure out the automation then you’re a better person than I.
I’ve installed the thing on my old Linux MacBook, but I’m fucked if I can figure out how to actually get it to work.
Well I’ve seen how people have shared the way YouTube have changed their tactics over time and I don’t feel like I can blame you for feeling that way.
I got my subscription back when it was named YouTube Red. Like, as soon as it became available in my country. I just always saw it as a good deal, and I haven’t really had to see any of that shit personally. I do think the way they’re marketing it these days seems to be very annoying though.
I get that. I’ve had it since it came out so I’ve missed out on the bullying.
You can absolutely “ad me” the hell away from your product.
The few times that I’ve used YouTube at work I know I wouldn’t be watching YouTube at all if it wasn’t for premium.
I do completely live life to avoid ads as much as possible.
Picture in picture works fine without premium which is funny. (At least on GrapheneOS)
95% of the time I spend on YouTube (when not on holiday) is on PC so they can’t really block background play for me.
What are the features that brought you over? I had it before, but YouTube music was too lackluster for me (polish, sound quality, ease of searching) and for the YouTube part I use van Ed on mobile and ublock
I like that creators still get some compensation while I get to not think about ads.
That’s a good reason.
My time is too valuable to be watching ads. I need to know what some youtuber says I won’t belive happened with one of them open faces and big eyes in the thumbnail
just use ublock origin??
I think they’re being sarcastic?.. I hope they’re being sarcastic.
Use Invidious or Materialious.
I’ve had premium for almost as long as premium has been around. It is the only streaming service In have ever paid for.
Yeah, I still occasionally call it Youtube Red. There’s only 2 subscription streaming services I don’t feel weird at all about paying for and that’s YouTube and Dropout.
+1 for Dropout, - 1000 for YouTube Premium
Same. I came on with the original Google play music. I can’t believe that was nearly 13 years ago… Oh how I miss Google play music.
Fuck that scale bar though. The decimal separator makes it look like the human hair is 10cm thick.
Also - trailing zeros after the decimal serve no purpose but to define precision. With the resolution of the image, there’s no way the bar is precise to 1/100,000 of its width.
Sig Figs matter.
The decimal separator makes it look like the human hair is 10cm thick.
That one facial hair that is thicker than the others.
I saw that. I almost didn’t post this because of it. I used to work with a lot of maps, so something like that makes the lizard part of my brain rage.
Yours aren’t?
I’m legitimately upset this isn’t a benchy
So you’re saying there’s a chance
Yeah youtube can go suck on an egg. If they want to pay content creators more theyre free to do so without any help from me and honestly it’s kind of shitty that they try to incentivize people to subscribe by going “well we’ll pay them a nickel instead of a penny for your view”.
Ublock on firefox, revanced on mobile, and I got all I need. If I want to support creators I can give them more money by sending them a few bucks on patreon.
I want to give them some money, but 18 euro per month is way to much for something I get for free without ads.
Most of the money doesn’t even go to the Youtubers you want to support anyway.
There are ways to pay Indian prices. Which is around 4,30 euros for a family account that includes YT Music.
I used this guide: https://www.reddit.com/r/VPN/comments/1awyfq3/comment/lszf1zi/
The guide is for iOS only though, I don’t know how to do it on Android or without an iOS device.
KenM moment:
I bet they could have made a smaller 3D print if they printed fewer floors.
