Just keep jacking up the ad-free tier price level.
A few years ago I got this experience on mobile and posted about it on r/assholedesign, but it was autoremoved as a banned repost even though I didn’t see anything like it. Yet another ban happy subreddit, I’m glad to be out of that place. This is truly awful though, and why I’m happy to use revanced.
These ads are preem, choom
lol here we are, just after a few weeks when people were defending how yt premium was the best subscription plan ever on Lemmy. people deserve to be scammed like this tbh
Probably the lower tier of premium that’s being tested in Germany.

Huh weird, the only reason to use Premium is to cut out the adverts.
“Would you like to buy Premium?” “Ooh, what do I get?” “YOU GET NOTHING! GOOD DAY SIR!”
Less ads I guess? Idk

If you’re dumb enough to pay for youtube premium and also can’t spell “ads” correctly you deserve to have them shoved in your face, you’re probably dumb enough to fall for them and buy the crap being advertised too.
Jesus, what a miserable outlook. Maybe take a break from being online for a while.
That’s why i never bought YouTube premium
Seeing ads in premium is ridiclous, For fuck sake!
“This is why I never bought YouTube premium”
Points out very recent issue with YouTube premium
What ads? (Firefox and adblocker)
Yep… although… Lately my TV PC’s CPU has been groaning under the weight of all the Firefox addons required to make YouTube usable lol.
I have premium too once I saw an ad and complained and it turned out to be a bug. I even had engineers reach out with questions when they were fixing the issue.
Maybe that has happened here? They have announced any changes.
Firefox with ad blocker? You are wasting your money.
My wife uses a TV to watch YouTube, My kid uses a phone, My other kid uses a tablet.
Saying just use ad block isn’t feasible for everyone.
get youtube revanced for both phone and tablet at least
On a TV use SmartTube. On QN Android device (phone or tablet) use LibreTube (or InnerTune for music)
And then you’re stuck constantly reminding every family member which app to use on which device when they come to you because they’re getting ads or something isn’t working right.
For a single power use that’s fine, for a family with kids, it’s nearly impossible without going crazy and killing them.
The stock YouTube app can be disabled, and they only have one choice… Works for my kids.
uBlock origin and Sponsorblock work for me on Firefox Android Beta.
i watch YouTube on my phone with ff+ubo
It used to be free AND ad-free.
Sure but that’s obviously unsustainable
But something like $7 for premium without ads is absolutely sustainable. But, you know, line go up more.
Yeah the prices do keep creeping up… And they should have kept Premium Lite without YT Music
Check if you still have premium?
That’s what the circled logo in the top left is for
I know, but maybe it’s related to:
If you haven’t “accepted” the new prices, maybe you get this half-assed Premium.
How is this a shitpost? Is it a fake screenshot?
YouTube is a shitpost.
raises the question why pay for premium
What is the benefit of premium if you still have to watch ads?
Fr tho.
YT music
