#122I just subscribe to YouTube premium to support my favorite application out there.
I learn so much from the people who spend hours and hours making videos every month that I am more than happy to pay a measly $13 or whatever it is every month to YouTube.

You bought the laptop/PC/television. You request for data from a remote host.
The remote host serves you the content. The remote host is also entitled to serve you ads, since they own their end of the communication.
You view the content. You are also entitled to not view the ad, since you own the device at which you're viewing their content.

#124The only alternatives to a service like youtube showing people ads are for its users to pay for it, for it to be funded through donations, for it to be run by the government and paid for through taxation or for it not to exist. I prefer the first or second approaches and Youtube is unusual among social media sites in actually giving me the first option. So I happily pay for premium and while I'd rather that were the…
I can be a petty individual at times, and the thing that convinced me to never pay a cent to youtube was their removing the ability for the app to continue to play the clip in the background when switching to another app or locking the phone. I listen to news and podcast-esque things in the car going to work or school drop-off / pick-up, on the way to sport etc. I'd begrudgingly tolerate the ads if the app background…
Use the YouTube mobile site within Firefox.

How do you get your TV to trust the self signed cert?
It would not surprise me if most TVs don't check. I remember LG or Samsung using unencrypted FTP to upload viewing data a few years back, so unverified TLS would be an improvement >_<
This should be a scandal if true.

Not a CF employee but I am pretty sure it's working as intended as they built and use this: https://github.com/cloudflare/mitmengine
Here's hoping that, if they do it, they'll start blocking corporate TLS mitm regimes too.
Blocking? Cloudflare provides corporate TLS MITM regimes.

The issue with paying for youtube premium is that you are still left with tons of ads. Until YouTube themselves doesn't tackle this issue as it should I refuse to pay to see sligtly less ads.
I pay for YouTube premium and have never seen an ad. Not sure what's happening with you.
Half of the content on YouTube could be considered to be an ad by itself.
Also sponsors are being advertised regularly within videos which I would consider to be ads too

*now a monthly $19. Still worth it for me as well, given how much I use it for entertainment and education.

It's possible to download stuff you like, for free, without being funded by donations, ads, or being run by the government. P2P.
People using their excess Internet connectivity, they already pay for for other reasons, to share content with others.
It works for socially disadvantaged, too.

I believe you can get it for $9.99 or something like that, if you don't need YouTube Music. The product is called YouTube Premium Lite.
