That's not an ad. That's a high quality premium product reminder. To remove these reminders please subscribe to YouTube Premium Plus.

[–] Kroxx@lemmy.world 41 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ublock on Firefox> premium, they will always try to advertise even if you pay unfortunately

[–] MercuryUprising@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

This even works on my tablet, even after they blocked vanced from playing videos.

[–] histic@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Unfortunately, youtube is mostly a TV thing for me. Very hard to ad block on smart tvs

[–] Monologue@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

literally what you are asking for, you can download it from github

[–] TSMKFail@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Or you can use Downloader if you use an Amazon TV device. (Screw you Google for removing Downloader)

[–] PopOfAfrica@lemmy.one 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I used to love to play around with my FireStick until Amazon locked it down. Then I got a Chromecast I loved until Googled locked it down. I've come to the conclusion that the best Media center is just an old Linux computer attached to a TV the way God intended

yeah that was what i was refering to, downloader is back on the play store though

[–] venoft@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Smarttube next is for Android TV. Works very well. Sometimes you do need to update (can be done in-app) after YouTube decides to break third party apps.

People love to shit on yt premium but it's single handedly the best value I've ever gotten out of a service. And I'm okay with financially supporting a service that I use a lot.

This is upsetting, though. I don't watch a ton on tv, but when I have I've never seen an ad like this pop up. I'll be watching out for them.

[–] Iwamoto@kbin.social 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

yeah, i basically have youtube on throughout the day so it's a good "investment" for me. but yeah, the deal is, i pay them, they don't show me ads (and sponsorblock does the rest) so this is quite wild.

[–] Fatalchemist@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago

Yep. This is the first legitimate "YouTube premium sucks" I've seen because it's not holding up their end of the transaction.

I haven't seen this happen to me yet and I use YouTube on my PC, my phone, and my TV via Alexa.

[–] LillianVS@lemmy.world 26 points 1 year ago (2 children)

As someone who uses and really enjoys Youtube Premium this upsets me. Feels very counter-to what is agreed on purchase:

I wonder if it's possible to file a complaint as false advertisement. As part of the subscription it even says in the FAQ "ad-free" which this is definitely not. I'm not a lawyer though and this is not legal advice.

[–] joyjoy@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This reminds me of the "Ad free" tier of Paramount Plus. There were unskippable ads for other paramount shows. And the 5 second bumper counted as an ad and was unskippable.

[–] inventa@lemmy.fmhy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

I can't explain how much this pisses me off

[–] Cybermass@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

I'm not a lawyer but anyone with a brain cell would agree this is false advertising at least, possibly breach of contract depending on what the TOS says.

[–] nodsocket@lemmy.world 25 points 1 year ago

What you thought that paying money would take away the ads?! (Laughs in profit)

[–] RoxActually@lemmy.world 23 points 1 year ago (3 children)

This is why I would not want to pay a subscription to YouTube. I don't trust that they would ever truely work out all the ads

[–] transmatrix@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago

I've had Premium since it was called Red (got it through Google Music) and never see ads. Would be upset if I was OP, but haven't experienced that issue myself.

[–] JDPoZ@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

SmartTube - if you've got an Android streaming box (like an NVIDIA Shield Pro, for example), sideload it. You'll thank me later.

That's why I canceled Premium. I was still getting ads AND Google still used trackers. AND content creators get next to no money from it...

[–] this@sh.itjust.works 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So were at the point where we are paying for an experience with ads AND invasive trackers and personal data mining + psychological profiling just to watch videos? What the fuck, thats distopian AF.

[–] funkyfridgerator@lemmy.ml 18 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Wait people actually pay for that shit πŸ€”

[–] sverit@feddit.de 5 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Via VPN in India. Costs about 1$ per month.

Yes and it worth it not to see garbage ads.

All that paying does is prove you’ll pay whatever they want. Just like a blackmailer, it’s never enough. They always escalate in their attempts to extract β€œvalue”.

It’s the same damn story, time after time. β€œOh, we put a few ads to cover expenses - it’ll be limited, we promise.” 3 months later: β€œWe have a premium plan that hides ads.” Another 3 months: β€œWe now have informational banners on premium for our own content. Since it’s our own, it’s totally not an ad!”

Then just: β€œPay us a monthly rate and get served ads.”

It’s like fucking clockwork with these ghouls.

If they start inserting ads in videos I’m watching even though I literally pay them not to, I’ll be more than just mildly infuriated.

[–] McBinary@kbin.social 10 points 1 year ago (5 children)

Do you have a Chromecast? Install "smarttube" instead. It strips out all ads, and even has sponsor block built in so it skips sponsor stuff in video.

And this is why I just use an ad free YouTube client, literally provides better features for free

Pretty typical for YouTube honestly, they'd try and justify it as saying it's not an "as" it's an "experience highlight" or something.

Hey, another person who likes robot combat

[–] administrator@lemmy.pro 5 points 1 year ago

More like very infuriating, I pay for premium too, if I see ads I’ll be pissed!

You just need to upgrade to Premium Premium to get the privilage to skip the ad 2 seconds faster than Normal Premium.

If I see one of those I'm cancelling my subscription and going back to the third party apps.
