Google admits it's making YouTube worse for ad block users
Search giant says delays not specific to any browser – just those evading advert breaks. YMMV
You're viewing a single thread.
As a premium subscriber, it's definitely gotten worse for me over the last month. Whatever they're doing on the back end, it's pretty terrible.
I'm not sure what the hell is going on at YouTube but I've noticed a significant drop in decent videos being recommended, and a huge uptick in videos I've already seen showing up at the front of the feed. Probs gonna drop it when the price picks up and just go to nebula.
Why are you paying your abuser
Honestly: I'd rather pay for YT and pirate Netflix.
The amount of Entertainment I get from YT exceeds the scale of Netflix and I use it daily at 2-3h per day.
And while yes, it's free, I can also support the creators with a better click price than a regular click.
Is it a better solution then the respective patreon/whatever? Nope
Do I want to pay 5€/month or video each time? Fuck no. I am not king Midas.
Not to mention not every creator will have a patreon anyway so this covers that scenario as well.
There's a ton of educational content only on YT and so it's a part of our homeschool curriculum. My kids were getting a lot of super inappropriate ads a while back, so I got premium to avoid all ads.
What homeschool curriculum provider are you using?
Acton and we participate in a state program and several private programs depending on the kids' interest.
