minus-squareyoumaynotknowlinkfedilinkEnglish2•4 days agoAbsolutely. And they update pretty quickly when YouTube breaks something.
minus-squareSchwim DandylinkfedilinkEnglish8•5 days agoI read that Google is rolling out some ads on premium so that might need to get removed from your list.
minus-square@chinchillas@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish3•5 days agoAmazon Premium started this trend. They’re shameless.
minus-square@strict0768@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish6•5 days agoI believe you’re thinking of premium lite, or whatever they call it.
minus-square@buttnugget@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish2•5 days agoCorrect. If they ever roll out ads on premium, I’m not sure what we’ll do. Maybe figure out a new platform or a new way to watch.
minus-square@macaw_dean_settle@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish5•5 days agoThen stop using youtube. It sucks ever since googol bought it. Haven’t used it since.
minus-square@Frenezul0_o@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish2•5 days agoThat is right thinking. I admire that.
minus-squareBrumefeylinkfedilinkEnglish2•5 days agoYou should add Brave on iOS to the list. Never seen any ad with Brave.
minus-square@prole@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkEnglish1•5 days agoI second Freetube. Not a perfect app (think it’s Chromium based), but it gets the job done and they’re pretty good about updating it pretty quickly whenever YT successfully breaks it.
minus-square@WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish2•5 days agoThere’s also Pipeline for *nix (and possibly Windows, but I didn’t bother to check.)
