They really want to tv-ify web content huh? People left TV because they were sick of ads.

I only have YouTube premium because I do not want a TV license and one is definitely cheaper than the other but the fuck man.

twack,

Cable TV did not originally have ads. That was part of the reason that people started paying for it.

What you are seeing is the natural cycle of content and greed.

Christ I love the Revanced project

Noedel,

Don’t forget SmartTube for Android TV!

There’s a Revanced? I’ve been clinging on to Vanced hoping YouTube API will not change anytime soon

Srootus,

Yes, instead of an app you install, you patch the app yourself using a separate app. Kinda like xmanager if you’ve used that before. I’d point you to their official reddit, but… yknow… Here’s their official Discord discord.gg/revanced

kofe,

Dude I had vanced and it died after YouTube got them to stop updating. You’re saying it’s still going!?

Srootus,

As far as I know, not the same team, at least officially. Unlike vanced, they don’t provide the app themselves, you have to build it yourself, but that isn’t too hard. Your given the patches and the app that writes them patches to a stock version of YouTube downloaded on APKMirror, all that plus vanced MicroG and you got Revanced

Leaving that garbage website was the best decision I’ve made for my mental health since pot

Stumpy,

Leaving pot or starting pot?

This is why we use Piped and Newpipe/Libretube.

I have YouTube ad free for a while now. Quite expensive, but I also watch it a lot, so it makes sense.

@wilberfan@lemmy.world avatar

I bit on the 3 free months offer awhile back, and they got me. I just couldn’t go back to the ads. $11.99/mo feels expensive, but like you I watch it all the time.

SuperSpecialNickname,

Do you guys not use AdBlock and revanced?

JohnnyCanuck,

You can’t on many devices.

Congratulations you’re having a Schrodinger’s baby

Saigonauticon,

Ooh, this is a great idea. I could use a zener diode and a pregnancy test to make a test that reverses the result half the time, depending on electron-tunelling.

just reminded me to cancel premium, thank you!!

@michikade@lemmy.world avatar

Premium’s been a thing for a long time, it used to be Reddit Gold several years ago. It also used to be cheaper, $3.99/mo but it went up multiple years ago.

They might be pushing it hard right now, though. Not sure. Maybe they’re trying to entice the people who were paying for 3PA features to pay Reddit instead or something.

I currently have premium, ad free is the only way Reddit is palatable even before all this went down and I bought it ages ago when I wanted to support a thing I used every day and also have had a couple awards that extended it, it expires in August. I won’t be renewing.

kratoz29,

$3.99/mo

Now that’s what I call inflation.

The other problem with Reddit premium, have multiple accounts because you want to keep something’s separate? Well you have to pay $50 a year for each account.

Skellybones,
@Skellybones@lemmy.world avatar

Just put it all in one account and take a gamble when you’re browsing in public

cnut,

What’s so great about r/lounge?

New_account,

I was gifted Reddit gold a few times over the years for random comments I made, which gave access to the lounge subreddit. It’s mostly nothing but dumb memes roleplaying as gilded age oil tycoons and the like. Definitely not worth paying anything for access to it.

c0mbatbag3l,
@c0mbatbag3l@lemmy.world avatar

Not much that I could tell, I got gold a couple times and it seemed like people there were just the same except “oh it’s exclusive” but the memes werent any better.

  • zackwithak,

    Did you only use third party apps and old Reddit? Because if you ever used their app or the new redesign, idk how you could miss it

    gorkx,

    @tst123 This. It's not because of a hissy fit over the worlds worst reddit app, or a bunch of honorless fucknuggets ruining shit for the rest of us. it's that they are or were on a oldschool shareware-esk model: pay for the fucking thing your leaching from. Fact is weather or not anyone likes it even fedverse needs money to keep the lights on.

    lol this is so bad. Cheapies are sometimes terrible but man, these are especially awful.

    Two lines is usually positive.

    Rick,

    Must be the season of boycott, youtube about to do a reddit moment.

    They’re trying everything to get us to buy YT premium. At what point do they start becoming full-on commercials? Lol
