If they actually continue on their path of ensuring no ad blockers work on YouTube, I will simply cease watching it completely. I really hate how aggressive advertisement became over the years. I didn't mind non-gore (because some ads shown really gruesome health issues) and non-porn side panels which didn't animate. Hell, sometimes I'd click if they had what would interest me. There is absolute zero chance I will buy anything which bothers me. And I won't let it waste the time of my life.
I like the game grumps and Lex Fridman. The documentaries are cool, but I have to watch them in a different container or YouTube will start feeding me 30 minute ads or rants that sound reasonable but are super bigoted and flawed when you actually think about it
Reddit meant more to me than anything else I do online, and I committed to leaving it behind even before I found Lemmy... YouTube is barely worth it even without the ads. And I've got a whole fediverse of video content to investigate
One of my oldest friends has recently started turning to the dark side, his PC died and he's run out of new shows to watch... so started watching stuff on YouTube via the suggestions.
It started off as debates between men and women... I warned him that it was going to suggest him more and more extreme stuff and the algo will walk him further to the right. Now he's quoting Andrew Tate, watching videos with conspiracies about great reset, ranting about trans people, ugh. When he said "the media is shoving trans in our face, all these trans personalities" I asked him to list these trans personalities, he couldn't list one. He's just spewing the rhetoric YT fed him. Very sad, he's not the only one being infected by this shit.

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

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

Hmmmmm
SmartTubeTV or whatever works great.
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.
All that paying does is prove youβll pay whatever they want. Just like a blackmailer, itβs never enough. They always escalate in their attempts to extract βvalueβ.
Itβs the same damn story, time after time. βOh, we put a few ads to cover expenses - itβll be limited, we promise.β 3 months later: βWe have a premium plan that hides ads.β Another 3 months: βWe now have informational banners on premium for our own content. Since itβs our own, itβs totally not an ad!β
Then just: βPay us a monthly rate and get served ads.β
Itβs like fucking clockwork with these ghouls.
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.
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.

Hey, another person who likes robot combat
More like very infuriating, I pay for premium too, if I see ads Iβll be pissed!
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...
And this is why I just use an ad free YouTube client, literally provides better features for free
Question, finally asked: Where do you get an ad free youtube client these days? Surely, posting a direct link here on Lemmy is not against rules?
I'd been using Revanced for quite a while, but then it eventually got caught up with and it stopped working. There was some hullabaloo about "fake" Revanced clones, and now I hear it's transformed into a "patcher". Only, on my phone I get a warning saying the patching may not work due to my processor or kernel or such -- and lo, it does not, the patching throws an exception late-ish in the process and I'm left with an unpatched youtube app.

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.

I don't see why buying youtube premuim is any better than just using ublock origin.

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