I've been using Ublock origin for years and I've never seen a message like that
Same. The last time I saw an YouTube ad was around 2015.

Cable TV providers in the 70s: "No commercials when you pay for our services!"
Cable TV providers in the early 80s: "Ok, we actually meant no commercials on premium channels, but local channels will, and it's not our fault."
Cable TV providers in the late 80s: "Fine. What we meant was no commercials on movie channels."
Cable TV providers in the 90s: "Uhm, so only on-demand shows will be commercial free."

Youtube Music is pretty much just youtube with a different UI
Lmao, what? YouTube Music is essentially Spotify with the ability to add YouTube videos to your playlists. It has an enormous music library comparable to other streaming services, it's not "youtube with a different ui".
...that enormous library is called "YouTube videos".

Wait so you pay for premium and still get ads?
Premium light i guess. So you pay to get some ads? I don't know

Had a "youtube doesnt allow adblock" pop up yesterday, set up freetube. No login required, even has a subscription import tool. So far so great.

I'd love to see a transition to other platforms like Nebula. As users it would be nice to start choosing by principles too.

Adblock/revanced are working. Google’s ad revenue is getting squeezed and so they need to shoehorn more ads everywhere to get the same revenue levels, since so many people never see the ads.
Keep using them. You’re making business really difficult for scummy Google.

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.
I truly, truly don't get it.
Ublock Origin + Firefox still works.
Works just fine.
Been that way for over a decade.
Yes, if you're more privacy concerned (and there are good reasons to be) you can use some other browser, something like NewPipe, or Invidious...
But I just don't get why any normie, ever, goes for YT Premium...

So what we need is a new disruptive media type that puts is on the head-end of the cycle again?

Oh fuck odd Google. Literally the only reason I was paying for your crap videos is so I could play music on my TV uninterrupted.

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.
Ah, the grand circle of enshittification.

Nah. We need to hack the planet.

Probably 10 years until AR starts this cycle over.

Can you, though? Because I remember when DVB started in Europe, they’ve sent a signal during commercials that makes your device block the fast forward feature.
I don’t know whether that’s still a thing. But you needed a hacked firmware on your TV / set top box to allow to FFWD through commercials back then.
I've never heard of that being the case in America, but I can't speak to how it works in Europe. That would be lame if it worked that way.

Oh so you pay to be abused, gotcha.
