Actually cancelled Spotify this month after trying YT music and it being mostly as good, only been one song I had on Spotify that YT has been unable to play me so far, granted i'm only a few weeks in and there may be more.

Does it download too? I spend a lot of time underground so I need my music downloaded.

Or just use your UK bank card like i do and pay no fees because the value is too low?
Did not know this was a thing, have a Monzo anyway but thanks for the info!

I've noticed more that even without ads (premium) lots of channels are doing 'sponsored' videos now...its BS, i hate it..thinking they are all oh-so clever with their segue. WHat's the point of paying to remove ads when they puts ads in?! **** them.
If on mobile, use YouTube Vanced. It also automatically skips ads, intros, outros, self promotion, the lot. Very impressed.
most videos you can skip the first 4 minutes as well... even if it's not an advert I'm here for the content not your life story...
I literally couldn't give a monkeys what your face looks like, I'd gladly be shown any random stock image instead
why be precise and to the point when you can stretch a video to 10minutes...

I used Vanced before, didn't realise it was advanced enough to cut out in-video promos. Will give it another look.
I've not yet figured out how it does it, but it does. Very impressive tbh.

I think it integrates sponsorblock which is a crowd sourced database of when videos have their sponsor sections. Personally I don't use it as those sponsor spots pay the creator a helluva lot more than any youtube ad, they are often better than ads (including some genuinely funny spots from the likes of Jay Foreman) and if I want to skip them, I can just double tap to seek forward 5 seconds at a time.
I don't mind skipping those as the creator gets paid a fixed fee regardless. Where I do feel a bit guilty is blocking the Adsense ads as that will directly affect their income, so to counter this I chuck a few quid in their Patreon accounts now and then.
Never heard of sponsorblock before, will need to have a look, cheers
The Internet Historian ones are amazing, I swear he just takes the sponsors to take the **** out of them and they're hilarious.

im fairly sure it’s been there before, it’s at least in the current t&cs.
Sorry, I should have looked. You're right, it is mentioned in the current version of the terms of service: YouTube Paid Service Terms of Service
