YouTube Premium, Why Bother?

Did you not read what I said? I already explained it...

Vanced for mobile. Gives you all the YouTube premium features for free...

The YouTube app literally says premium too

It doesn't do offline viewing, a feature I used 166 times. Vanced is also being killed off, still works on my old phone but dead on my tablet. Revanced looks too much of a pain to bother with at the moment.
 
Vanced only make sense if

1 - you have an android phone
2 - you don’t watch it on a TV
3 - you don’t want other YouTube premium features.
4 - value that £1

I value that £1 but 1 to 3 makes it worthwhile to spend that £1 and a lot of people do too.

Yes Raymond we get your point. Are you fulfilled now?
 
Just goes to show how many people that actually only use vanced then doesn't it really. And doesn't use the other ways of consuming YouTube (TV etc)

Whatever the weather, you do you.

You seem rather invested in how other people choose to watch youtube. Why do you care so much?

Vanced is done, it's finished, dead. Either use crap other programs or pay a couple of quid a month and be done with it :confused:

It certainly shows something...

Just had a quick google out of interest. I'm not interested in the music content. Just movies and perhaps the odd review or "how to" vid. Seems the only real advantage, for myself, of premium over free is removing ads.
If I got Youtube premium will I get more movies for me or tv series for the mrs? (She loves a good murder)

Am I missing summat?

here you go:

Watch videos without ads
With YouTube Premium, you can watch millions of videos without interruptions by ads before and during a video, including video overlay ads. You will also not see third-party banner ads and search ads.
You may still see branding or promotions embedded in the content by the creator and promotional links, shelves and features in and around the content that are added or enabled by the creator. These links, shelves and features could be for their website, merchandise, a membership to their channel, event tickets, or other related destinations they are promoting.
Ad-free videos are supported across all devices and platforms where you can sign in with your Google Account—including on compatible smart TVs/gaming consoles and the YouTube, YouTube Music, and YouTube Kids mobile apps, if they're available in your location.
YouTube Music Premium offers a similar experience, allowing you to enjoy music content in the YouTube Music app without ads.

Download videos to watch offline
Download videos and playlists to watch offline when you aren’t connected to the internet. You can download videos to watch offline using the YouTube app, download songs to listen to offline using the YouTube Music app, and watch auto-downloaded videos in the YouTube Kids app.
With Smart Downloads, recommended content is automatically added to your library to watch or listen to offline. Enjoy videos on-the-go and discover new content without the hassle of searching. Learn how to manage or turn off your Smart Downloads.

Available on: YouTube Premium, YouTube Music Premium

Background play
Play videos on your mobile device while using other apps or when your screen is off. Background play is available on YouTube, YouTube Music, and YouTube Kids mobile apps (if these apps are available in your location) when you're signed in with your YouTube Premium membership account.

YouTube Music Premium
You also get access to YouTube Music Premium as part of your benefits. With YouTube Music Premium, you can:
  • Enjoy millions of songs and videos in YouTube Music without ads.

  • Use background play to keep your music playing while you use other apps.

With your Premium membership, you can continue watching videos right where you left off for an uninterrupted viewing experience.
If you stop watching a video, we’ll save your spot so that you can resume watching videos across multiple devices.

Modify playback with listening controls
With a Premium membership, you can multi-task and enjoy videos at your own speed with listening controls. Skip through content, change your playback speed, and more. To access listening controls from a YouTube video:

Picture-in-Picture (PiP)
Picture-in-picture (PiP) lets you watch videos while using other apps on your mobile device. You can use PiP to watch all videos with a YouTube Premium membership. If you don't have YouTube Premium and you're in the U.S., you can still use PiP except on certain content such as music videos.
Learn more about how to use picture-in-picture on your mobile device.

Queue videos on mobile devices and tablets​

Set up videos to watch next without interrupting the video you’re watching. Queuing on mobile devices and tablets is only available with YouTube Premium.
Available on: YouTube Premium

Change your video quality​

With YouTube Premium, you can watch videos in 1080p Premium on Apple phones and tablets. This feature may be available on additional devices in the future.
1080p Premium is an enhanced bitrate version of 1080p. An enhanced bitrate provides more information per pixel, resulting in a higher quality viewing experience. Videos are only eligible for an enhanced bitrate if they were uploaded in 1080p. You won’t find the 1080p Premium option for:
  • Live Streams
  • Shorts
  • Videos uploaded at resolutions higher or lower than 1080p
To give you the best viewing experience, YouTube changes the quality of your video stream based on your viewing conditions. If you have a Premium membership, your resolution may automatically set to 1080p Premium. You can update your quality settings within the YouTube App.
Available on: YouTube Premium

Other Premium benefits​

As a YouTube Premium member, you’ll have access to other members-only features, including:
Note: Some of these features are limited to select territories, devices, and plans. We frequently add new features to enhance your YouTube Premium experience, which you can learn about on our Premium Updates page.

It's well worth the price, I also use yt music now and cancelled Spotify. So I save a fortune, considering it's £12 a year v £12pm for Spotify.

Pip and screen off are worth it alone though.

I have YouTube premium via Argentina, have premium to remove ads. I watch it primarily on TV so other options are no good. YouTube is my primary source of media watching, I don’t really watch anything on regular TV. Having premium is a good way of supporting the content creators you watch also. I absolutely despise ads so it’s worth the money to me, even if I had to pay the full rate.

I previously had premium on a different account, but this is in about 3 years I think.

I've got 6 accounts on Tidal for something silly like 59p a month - Turkish VPN. I prefer it to Spotify too, the automatic track selection seems a bit better tbh.

I honestly couldn't care less. Why are you assuming? I was simply answering the fella who quoted me with solutions.

Ok REvanced then, if we're being pedantic. That's what I was talking about which is quite alive and it isn't crap.

I like it when it suggests new music based on listening, which i assume it doesn't with different accounts?
 
What's wrong with you lot tonight? So much passive aggressiveness. Are you all due on your periods?

Because all the ways to bypass the £1 fee are utter turd, as it comes with so much more than Ad free as a benefit. Vs the simplicity of paying that £1.

There, I’ve said it.

Turd solution. It’s not a solution really for a lot of people. And every time it gets brought up, it only shows the person don’t understand why at all.
