YT is only usable with ad blockers nowadays. And then it does not make a difference if you have a subscription or not.
I would subscribe YT if they had a reasonably priced ad free tier, but if it does not make a difference, I'll watch it for free.

Lul I have uBlock origin and no ads for free
My ublock origin was having issues today and I had to scale back some of the stuff being blocked.

Most of the time reloading the filters fixes uBlock Origin not working

They must be making extra effort lately. I got the “Ad blockers are prohibited” popup twice today on two systems. One Linux and one windows. Librewolf, UO and SB on both.
Was able to close popup and move on.

Oh good, I’m not missing out then. I moved around quite a bit between Deezer, Tidal, random piracy in FLAC until finally landing on Apple Music.
I've resorted back to piracy, but mostly cuz my taste in music confuses the hell out of the algorithms: I'm a fan of symphonic metal, and seeding one of those songs as the start of a playlist on something like YT music will land you with a combination of heavy death metal and renaissance fair music.
If I ever find one that can actually distinguish sub-genres of metal, then sign me the fuck up!!

Genuinely though, the point of YouTube premium is to get rid of the ads...
We seem to be making cable TV again where you pay a premium for the privilege of being advertised to

Newpipe is all I have. I signed up for a couple creators patreon to support those I really like. Fuck Google. They are here for the investors bottom line not our shit. But people just want their shit and it perpetuates this behavior. My friend said he pays to support the creators he likes. He supports the giant corporation holding these creators ransom. Just send them money directly. Use new pipe or whatever. Quit supporting this shit and let the whole thing die until we realize there has to be a better way.
Why think of the consumer when you have practical monopoly on online video content distribution. If the creators are on youtube so will their audience and vice versa. Where will any of them go if you squeeze?

Christ, premium light is still fucking 8 dollars a month and you don't even get rid of ads. The greed is fucking astounding.
I'll stick to an adblocker, dickheads.
Firefox+uBlock Origin on the computer.
ReVanced on my Android phone.
SmartTubeNext on my Android TV.
I haven't seen a YouTube ad in years.

Firefox + ublock origin + sponsorblock and I haven't seen an ad on youtube in all the years since I started that combo.
Don't forget about ReVanced and SmartTubeNext (for smart TVs)

Oh I know, I’ve been here for years despite the age of my account. I just migrated from lemm.ee
I tend not to like to name these types of extensions because more exposure puts them at risk, and they’re super easy to find anyway.

that one meme with the dude surrounded by question marks
E: or that one of Trump and another dude in chairs talking about a piece of paper

I've long said to myself, the day revanced, smarttube and adblockers stop working is the day I stop browsing YT.
I watched my son showing me something the other day, he can't yet login via revanced so still has ads, what a shit show.
I asked him how he copes with all the ads, he said I'm dumb to them now I just ignore it. But still coming from zero ads to that was a very jarring experience.

I tried watching a 30 minute video on YouTube the other day and it injected ads every 1 minute for the entire video. Fuck Google. Fuck YouTube. Fuck Alphabet.

I think I'm understanding the playbook here.
Eventually YouTube will cost 89.99 a month and also be full of ads.
Then they will be disrupted by some startup company that will have to fight uphill for search and bandwidth access through Google's monopolistic front door.
Years later a court case will be decided and the new guy will be up and running a free service with a few ads or 1.99 a month for no ads!
And then we get to go through it all again.

Would you like to pay us and have ads?

There are people out there Who don’t watch YouTube on their PC. Can’t install a browser plugin on my TV.
Well, you shouldn't watch smart tv anyway. Shut off that slop and use your tv as a dumb tv through a computer. The other way is just asking to be exploited.

This is the way!!
I even subscribed to youtube premium when it came bundled with music streaming as well. back then it was a good deal. They kept raising prices and making the end product worse. Now it just seems obnoxious.

Firefox + ublock origin + sponsorblock and I haven't seen an ad on youtube in all the years since I started that combo.
Yesterday evening I got a pop-up that I should disable ublock from youtube. Refreshing page got rid of that but apparently it's time for me to run some updates on this thing. I've seen that few times, google changes something and as I'm a bit lazy to run updates my system sometimes gives the pop up.

It feels insane to me that you're paying and you still get ads. I fucking refuse to do that

My uBlock Origin has been working fine on my Linux desktop running Firefox.
uBlock Origin Lite on my Chromebook, on the other hand, has gotten the "Ad blockers are prohibited" popup a couple of times.

The internet isn't built on it. The commercial websites who do not have other products (as in all the websites related to RL goods, stores,...) are.
Exactly. If every ad-dependent website went offline tomorrow and all we were left with was Wikipedia, PeerTube, government/academia sites and a bunch of Geocities-esque "labor of love" hobbyist pages, nothing of value would be lost.
