Wow, so you pay them and they still screw you? Glad that’s a product I’ll never buy then!
I know, right? But I suppose their reasoning is that my ads are also blocked across the rest of their ecosystem, my subscription isn't covering those losses.
Still though, a model that requires that customers look at something they don't want to nor will engage with smells like failure.
I’m generally okay with the idea of “you can get it for free and we’ll include ads to pay for it, or you can pay instead”.
Where I’m definitely not okay is “you can pay, and we’ll include ads anyway.”
The sick twist is that I use Ublock Origin and won't ever pay for YouTube premium and I haven't experienced even the slightest issue streaming videos on YouTube. 😂
I have YouTube premium and an adblocker and I don’t have this problem. I’m skeptical that it’s related.
Same, YT Premium, Firefox, ad blocker, no issues with streaming.
So, since writing the above I've been having issues with YouTube. I've been connected to my VPN, so perhaps that's part of it (by which I mean Google slowing it down, the VPN doesn't noticeably slow down any other sites).
I tried deactivating my ad blocker, but it hasn't made a difference. I'll try more stuff to see if I can figure it out.
Anecdotally at best. I know it's not what you want to hear, but you're making a conclusion based on something one person said.
