YouTube Premium

Many people use the app across different device such as Smart TV's.

Would be good if something like an Pi-Hole would block YT ads but thats different :(
Lol it use to

Unfortunately even Ad-Blockers will struggle soon as YT is trialling injection of ads direct into the video stream so it doesnt appear to make a "call" to an ad server making it indistinguishable from the actual video :(

Just like podcasts with dynamic ads.

When travelling in different countries, I get random ads for that region when at home they are blocked.

I'm surprised they didn't do this long ago.

It's been in development for a long time as a technology. Certainly from the TV industry it's a technological challenge to implement reliably and be compatible with all TVs, so only just coming into use now.

Unfortunately it's one of those techs where every provider has picked a different name, DAI, DAR, SSAI...
 
inline adds ... yes but if they do that you just need to fast forward ? which I believe you can't do with with non-desktop youtube (like you can't with tv apps for c4 / itvx ...) swings&roundabouts
it's the product placement in the programmes you can't remove - they have one of those coffee shops in Corrie, but I suppose they are on every highstreet


will probably sign up for a month of decent olympics cover & end of tdf

YouTube music was the reason I signed up in the first place, adfree YouTube was just a bonus but that was a few years ago before they really pushed the ads it's shocking watching it on a work machine I'm not signed into!

The terrible practice of making something worse to force people to pay for what was good, instead of innovating and making things better.
 
Your YouTube Premium membership was canceled because we believe the signup country of Ukraine was inaccurate.

If you want to maintain access, please sign up for YouTube Premium again within the next few weeks, otherwise your YouTube Premium benefits will end on Aug 18, 2024 and your plan will not renew automatically.

Looks like I’m moving.
