See this is the problem today. If I pay to go ad free why is the word "most" it should be "all" what do I need to get to go totally ad free, premium plus or premium plus plus

it not just Youtube its everyone.

Streaming used to be the great. A proper alternative to television now unless you chose the package which comes with remortgaging the house you get ads.

I used to download film and tv like crazy years ago. So much so I had a 8TB home server set up with just films and tv series on and I always said once I could stream or pay for a service Id stop.

For a long time I did. But it just seems to be becoming worse and worse. Everything and everyone just thinks of shareholders and the service suffers.

Stop fucking around and focus on being great.

The way it keeps going the more I think I need to go back to downloading. Amazon is becoming worse prime is what £109+ a year or something? It's rare I actually get next day delivery now and if it is next day it ends up arriving between 8pm and 10pm (although there is hack I found if you use Prime for business most deliveries are done before 3pm..)

You get 15-22min of ads per movie or tv series and they dont even plan things out to insert them in places where natural ad breaks make sense.

No you just getting into it, and boom. Buy a flash mop.

I'm warm, got a mild alcohol buzz on, some easy watching action movie on. The guy is just about to get stabbed in the face and the moment of impact. He's saved with a flight from virgin. FUCK OFF

I actually used to think you provide a decent service, something affordable for everyone, have it all in 1 location you dont need to worry about people becoming a pirate, you end it. But no. ITs worse that everyone wants a slice of that subscription pie. Oh no you can't watch this on this platform anymore you need to sub to mine.

Your just asking for piracy to kick back up.

Tell you what these add free tiers are starting to fuck me off.

Cinematic details : D


For YT I don’t think the Lite plan actually makes much sense for the price especially when you compare it to the main Premium plan

The main reason most people go for Premium at least the majority, is for ad free videos.

All their premium plans should have been made ad free and then maybe the higher tier plans could come with extra perks like YT music

But fundamentally ad free videos should be included in all paid plans
 
I use youtube in my ad-free browser. It's an eyesore when I watch videos on mobile once in a while. I'll code an ad-free app and distribute it for free as it's a common problem.
 
Yeah, and what about those large corporations with Signature Plus WTF stick it to the man, man.
