is there a difference between youtube premium and youtube-with-adblocking?
It's harder to block ads on mobile.
That's why I pay.

#22Ofcom is a disgrace to humanity. I guess this is an early signal that they plan to control how people use YouTube.
UK voters get what they vote for.

#23The thing is very simple: when watching TV I need to adjust my schedule to the shows I'd like to watch. With youtube (or any streaming platform), I can see them whenever I want, the platform adapts to my schedule.
Of course there are some exceptions, for example when I want to watch my national football team, I'd like to watch it live. Luckily, that won't be a problem anymore this year (Italy).

#24YouTube Premium is the best $10 I spend per month. Nowhere else can I consistently find the sort of niche content that interests me.

There are problems with YouTube and the library is free.

Fully agree. There is so much good content and being ad-free is just a really great experience.

I prefer newpipe for $0/mo
nowhere near comparable experience if you want to seamlessly use your YT account across a TV + phone + computer i'd rather pay the $10 than pay with my time by being an ad-block whack-a-mole diagnostician
> ad-block whack-a-mole diagnostician
that is being done as open source community efforts now: NewPipe for mobile, SmartTube for smart TVs etc.
All you have to do is update them once in a while

For those of us who are too cheap to pay the subscription:
On my iPhone I almost never see YTube ads. I don’t use the YTube app and instead I install Chrome and watch YT that way. I lose notifications—which is perfect for me, since I don’t want many notifications on my phone anyway.
This might also work in Safari but I haven’t tested it.

#29Youtube is also pretty boring though. I mean, there are ton of interesting content and quality content too, but the stuff that gets recommended, the "hype stuff" is full of false information, clickbait, tweaked reality to conform some narrative...
This is the only downside. You really need to curate good content.

#30Ofcom emitting anti-social media statements shouldn't surprise anyone at this point. There is an ongoing EU-wide war against uncensored communication channels in the form of chat control, age verification, and anti anonymity. All to Protect The Children, of course.

Where was there anything in that story that was ant-social media?
