If you've ever wondered why YouTube goes so hard on ads when they make the experience so miserable, well, there's your answer.

    Tbh YT premium is well worth the asking price though I wish it subsidized the free experience as that’s much more important for the platform.

      Only on Lemmy you get downvoted for saying you pay for a service you like…

      There are tools that let you do what YT Premium provides for free unless you’re hooked on the music.

          There are tools for the music side as well

          RVX Music works quite well for me on Android

            Honestly, the service is worth it for me. I need the easiest process possible for my luddite wife and kindergartener’s Amazon fire tablet. I put my mom on the account too.

            But for everything else, yarrrrr.

        Sadly I haven’t found a tool that works on smart TVs, so I just pay for it

              Yeah, if anybody figures out a solution for Roku… please tell me. I’m set everywhere except one Roku stick in my basement, hooked up to my projector. The best place to watch movies in the house, the only place with ads.
