Problem solved! I don't need to think about this premium stuff any more. Recently, I've been playing with the idea of paying for premium, but that's no longer the case. Specifically, the family pack is the one that kinda made some limited sense in the past. I can see the kind of game Google is playing, and I'm not planning to participate.

Is it in decline? I mean, I want to believe it, but I haven’t seen any hard data on that.
It very much is and is talked about basically nonstop everytime the topic comes up from any content creator that's been in the game for longer then a decade.
The ad based system the internet is built on is unraveling.

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.
uBlock is already pretty much known as the best adblocker in the internet. Not sure what more exposure it could get.

Or, and hear me out: just install a browser plugin and forget ads exist.
I hesitate to name extensions names, but I’ve literally never seen an ad on YouTube.
These companies don’t respect us, so I don’t feel the need to respect them by allowing them to force their meaningless bullshit down my throat.
I don’t use it that much, but you better believe if I go to YouTube to watch a video, that video is the only thing I’m watching.
There are people out there Who don’t watch YouTube on their PC. Can’t install a browser plugin on my TV.

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.

It's better to name known safe options rather than leave it up to user search. The entities that work against extensions like uBO are already well aware of their existence, so hiding their names has no benefit.
Case in point - uBlock and uBlock Origin are not the same, with the former being a bastardised version that does 'acceptable ads'. There are plenty of other poor blocking options out there for the unsuspecting to stumble into besides that.
Personal setup is Librewolf/uBO on the client and pfBlockerNG/Snort for network level blocking/additional security layer.
And welcome to .zip
Hope you enjoy the new home! -

Lul I have uBlock origin and no ads for free

Youtube Music is pretty much just youtube with a different UI - the videos are the same. The audio quality is whatever's uploaded, so it'll vary a lot song to song.
There is another benefit - it can be played in the background if I remember properly.

I confirm that I will see zero ads.

Y’all pay for YouTube?
I would
ofif there was a family tier that plays YouTube without ads in my country. The content I watch is good and authors deserve payment IMO. Sadly there is currently no competition, there are some marginal subscription services and there is peertube which doesn't have monetization. -

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.

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)
