    Price hikes suck but; I’m happy with YT premium, we watch a lot on TV (apple tv) and I skip between ipad and iphone every day. By all means if there’s an EASY alternative that doesn’t involve some janky bedroom api side loading jailbreaking shiz, i’m all ears though…

    I had some crappy youtube thing on firestick before I upgraded to appletv and it was crap, ad free was nice but it was horrible and would always stop working in some form or fashion, it was a pain to maintain so I just paid for prem in the end.

    I never watch on PC outside of short tutorial videos so browser addons are kinda redundant.

      Less than 1 year of premium can buy an Nvidia Shield that you can install any YouTube app you desire, including the ones with no ads and SponsorBlock built in.

      Along with the fact that even when you pay for premium Google still sucks you dry for user data they can sell it’s not hard to see why people are completely unsympathetic to YouTube as a corporation.

      They’ve also removed free features and locked them behind a monthly cost. Yeah nah, fuck Google.
