I pay for premium.. but also like my sponsorblock.. and 3rd party clients. Let me have it all momma Google.

[–] Viper_NZ@lemmy.nz 12 points 10 months ago (2 children)

I can’t justify premium. For the same price I can buy for my family:

AppleTV+, Amazon Prime Video and Disney+

Or:

YouTube but without ads

[–] madcaesar@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

How do you pay it though? With a US credit card?

[–] Viper_NZ@lemmy.nz 2 points 10 months ago

NZD.

AppleTV+ ($14.99, Amazon Prime Video ($10.99) and Disney+ ($14.99) = $40.97 per month

YouTube Premium = $39.99 per month

Get a VPN and make a quick trip to Turkey or Ukraine where you can get it for about 2€/month

Once you sign up and pay in Türkiye does it just keep working back in your home country?

[–] twei@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 10 months ago

Yes, it's been working for a year now. I set my location back to Germany right after subscribing to premium

[–] Pretzilla@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Sponsorblock is awesome!

Which 3rd party clients are you using?

[–] csm10495@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

SmartTube on TV, Revanced on my phone, and the first party website on my computer.

[–] Pretzilla@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

What do those do for you if you already pay for premium?

[–] csm10495@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 months ago

Sponsorblock, return YouTube dislikes and more customization.
