One of those is ublock, literally the same experience minus the ads. How is that not close to the same experience? Do you miss the ads?
How do I install it on my TV? How do I sync? Do I install on every device I use? What if I don't have admin rights? What if it's out of date and the ads play anyway?
For less than a Starbucks coffee I have a month of premium, and I don't have to play cat and mouse.
How expensive are your Starbucks coffees? O.o
If you want a TV solution, look at iSponsorBlock, not as seamless but much improved. And free.
You don’t need admin rights, and it auto updates.
I have premium, but only because I can get it ridiculously cheap by using a VPN. I would never pay current asking price for premium, especially when they increased the price twice in a one year period.
A Starbucks coffee is around 5 euros.
I don't want to look into anything, much less if it's less seamless, I'm satisfied with the default YouTube app on my TV.
You need admin rights to install any software.
A Starbucks coffee is around 5 euros.
And YouTube premium is over double that, potentially triple come January.
You need admin rights to install any software.
A) This is absolutely not true.
B) It’s a browser extension
It's more than triple for a family plan, but you share it with people and you land well under 5 euros per person.
Please tell me how to install chrome or Firefox on a corporate laptop without admin rights, I'll wait.

Firefox doesn’t require admin perms to install, so… double click the installer? Did you need screenshots on how to do that?…
Not familiar with Group Policies, I see?
If your work PC is that locked down, why are you watching YouTube videos on it? This seems like a manufactured issue at this point.
So let’s go down the list: Company PC, no admin privs, group policy forbidding any executable from running, no Firefox or chrome, I assume your next limitation is that edge addons aren’t allowed, but for some reason YouTube is fine?
Then you’re right, in the extremely tailored for premium situation, premium wins out over ublock origin. I’m shocked. Good job.
Now for the 99.9% of the rest of us we can still avoid paying Google by simply using ublock origin. Shoo.
Or TVs. Or people who want to sync between devices. Or download for offline. Or compensate creators. Or not bother installing 50 scripts and updating them 3 times a day. Or just do the right thing. You know, 99.99% of people.
You’re kinda just making it obvious you don’t understand what is being talked about here. Half of what you’re talking about has nothing to do with premium, or adblock. “The right thing to do” is a crock of shit. And the appeal to majority doesn’t help your case either.
You want premium, good for you. But don’t make shit up to strengthen your position. It just makes it obvious you don’t know what you’re talking about.
