But will it still play an ad before the video?

  • 2 unskippable pre rolls that advertise drugs to treat the causes of the emergency condition
  • 5 minute long explanation of the creator's life story
  • 1 minute long subscription beg
  • 2 extended sponsor breaks with awkward segues
  • first 30 seconds of content
  • patient is dead

SMASH LIKE AND SUBSCRIBE AND HIT THE BELL

Better install Sponsorblock

As a person with YouTube Premium I am angered that I still need to install 3rd party extension to block this shit. These should be skipped automatically, since content creators get more money from Premium viewers anyway.

And if you're on Firefox, will it still add that forced 5-second delay while loading the page?

Yeah one of those 30 minutes ads there used to be (not sure any more I have premium & ad block).

Imagine having an adblocker, and still paying for premium for whatever reason.

Music. App wise and all that I prefer Spotify but YouTube Music has everything, officially and not officially by somebody uploaded a video, plus you can upload your own mp3 files if something is missing.

Also in the beginning of the subscription I had a work provided iPhone so it was nice to not see ads there.

I don't have premium anymore, but back when I did, I got it to better support the channels I watched since I believe they got more revenue from the views of subscribers than people watching the ads.
