Seems like YT, probably following Amazon, have significantly upped the ad load and inserted midroll ads on older videos even when creators have declined them... some videos are literally unwatchable without ad block...

There was a recent change to midrolls. I'm in the youtube partner program now, saw some blurb about it.

Supposed to be more intelligent about insertion of midrolls, to not interrupt things and find more natural breaks, but obviously cramming more ads in too.

Algerian sub got clapped so I've gone via Polski at just over £6 a month, see how long it lasts

Worth a mention again, if you or anyone you know, is a student or works in a school/university, get the student plan. Full Premium for 9 quid a month or so.

Just need to register with the ".ac.uk" email address to prove academic use.

Is that correct, according to their website here it's only for people in higher education?

When I say student I am thinking of a "university student"

I didn't actually see your edit, it was when you said works in a school that I got excited

If you have access to an email that has the .ac.uk in it, then you can get student premium

Yeah I understand that but no schools will have a .ac.uk address as it's strictly used for further education (unis etc)

As soon as they implement a payment tier that is simply to remove ads from the videos, then I'm all over it.

But I really don't want to be paying for YT music etc when I rarely use it.

Easy route is Poland with VPN and Polish address.

Cheapest route is Apple gift card via Turkish Hairlines if you've got an Apple device.

Just had an email saying Poland is getting a price increase... £6.

 

[Gman]

well looks like my Ukrain asylum is getting restricted

Same, still better than UK prices.

 

[Ayahuasca]

£72 a year really isn’t bad considering some of the videos I watch on there are better produced than stuff you find on Netflix etc.

youtube pays musicians less than video content contributors - so a videos only subscription unlikely to be any cheaper (for those that don't want music)

After moving from YT&tidal to spotify for better carplay quality, with its inbuilt equalizer, just discovered spotify has a woeful catalog of movie soundtrack albums - this is just BS
(interstellar, driver, pulp fiction, sunshine, apocalypse now, ...)
