YouTube Premium

Edited out, but no VPN is required for it, that's one of the benefits.

Edit my post - I thought it'd auto update, TIL.

While I agree it's not required, I suspect most would advise it, especially when using the connection type which has a name that implies "a lot of water"

Non of this is hard, there is alway alternative solutions. If your cheating via VPNs anyway to not pay UK price you may as well go all the way.

Although I get it if you just don't care and want the same app for all devices etc but I think faffing with VPNs to purchase a subscription out of the UK due to high pricing is even more of a faff around

This is my point, it is hard. It's fair enough that some people manage OK with it, I just find it a bit tiresome that every time this topic comes up people say "it's really easy". It distracts from the question at hand - yeah, we all know you can use Firefox with add-ons, that's not the point of the discussion.

For what it's worth, I haven't replaced my subscription yet, so right now I'm just avoiding using YT on the TVs as much as possible until I decide how to tackle it.

In terms of apps for other devices, I can figure it out, sure, but my family can't. HDMI inputs and the like are a no-go, so we use TVs and the built-in apps. SmartTube does not work on typical TV operating systems, so unless I replace my TVs with Android TVs it's a non-starter. TV boxes aren't going to work, because it's too confusing for visitors.

I'm well aware that I'm not entitled to ad-free YT, I just don't get why people find it almost intolerable that some folk find a YT subscription to be helpful and make their lives easier.

I just renewed my phone contract which comes with YouTube premium, at work I don't login so I use the normal one and the amount of ads is insane, I don't think I could go back to using normal YouTube.

What provider is offering that?

It's with Voda, it is £38 a month but I think I've got 6 months half price or something like that. There was a cheaper package but it came with less data.

Sweet, secondary Gmail set up whilst using a saffa VPN, set play store to SA, got added to brother-in-law's family plan with premium. Just logged into that account now on my phone and pc YouTubes

Do we know where Brave is up to in regards to blocking Twitch adverts? I read a few months back they were looking to integrate a solution without using all the JS extensions of other adblockers, is that still the case or wishful thinking?

I use Windscribe's browser add-on for Firefox as a Twitch proxy. $3 a month instead of £12 for Turbo.

my renewal didn’t go through for Ukraine using my curve card. Couldn’t be bothered with any messing about right now so just paying the £12.99 for now

Are you only using it for TV and through the LG apps or a firestick or something?

Not sure if it still works but I'm currently on a monthly rolling through Poland for about a 5er.

So you waited for the auto renew to fail and then vpn to poland and renew/restart payment on same account no issue?

 

[Pooh]

Hmmm.... VPN.... interesting....
