That's not an ad. That's a high quality premium product reminder. To remove these reminders please subscribe to YouTube Premium Plus.
Ublock on Firefox> premium, they will always try to advertise even if you pay unfortunately
This even works on my tablet, even after they blocked vanced from playing videos.
smarttube next my beloved
Unfortunately, youtube is mostly a TV thing for me. Very hard to ad block on smart tvs
literally what you are asking for, you can download it from github
Or you can use Downloader if you use an Amazon TV device. (Screw you Google for removing Downloader)
yeah that was what i was refering to, downloader is back on the play store though
Smarttube next is for Android TV. Works very well. Sometimes you do need to update (can be done in-app) after YouTube decides to break third party apps.
As someone who uses and really enjoys Youtube Premium this upsets me. Feels very counter-to what is agreed on purchase:
I wonder if it's possible to file a complaint as false advertisement. As part of the subscription it even says in the FAQ "ad-free" which this is definitely not. I'm not a lawyer though and this is not legal advice.
This reminds me of the "Ad free" tier of Paramount Plus. There were unskippable ads for other paramount shows. And the 5 second bumper counted as an ad and was unskippable.
I can't explain how much this pisses me off
I'm not a lawyer but anyone with a brain cell would agree this is false advertising at least, possibly breach of contract depending on what the TOS says.
This is why I would not want to pay a subscription to YouTube. I don't trust that they would ever truely work out all the ads
I've had Premium since it was called Red (got it through Google Music) and never see ads. Would be upset if I was OP, but haven't experienced that issue myself.
SmartTube - if you've got an Android streaming box (like an NVIDIA Shield Pro, for example), sideload it. You'll thank me later.
People love to shit on yt premium but it's single handedly the best value I've ever gotten out of a service. And I'm okay with financially supporting a service that I use a lot.
This is upsetting, though. I don't watch a ton on tv, but when I have I've never seen an ad like this pop up. I'll be watching out for them.
yeah, i basically have youtube on throughout the day so it's a good "investment" for me. but yeah, the deal is, i pay them, they don't show me ads (and sponsorblock does the rest) so this is quite wild.
Yep. This is the first legitimate "YouTube premium sucks" I've seen because it's not holding up their end of the transaction.
I haven't seen this happen to me yet and I use YouTube on my PC, my phone, and my TV via Alexa.
What you thought that paying money would take away the ads?! (Laughs in profit)
That's why I canceled Premium. I was still getting ads AND Google still used trackers. AND content creators get next to no money from it...
So were at the point where we are paying for an experience with ads AND invasive trackers and personal data mining + psychological profiling just to watch videos? What the fuck, thats distopian AF.
nothing mild about this. this is straight enraging. I hate youtube.
All that paying does is prove you’ll pay whatever they want. Just like a blackmailer, it’s never enough. They always escalate in their attempts to extract “value”.
It’s the same damn story, time after time. “Oh, we put a few ads to cover expenses - it’ll be limited, we promise.” 3 months later: “We have a premium plan that hides ads.” Another 3 months: “We now have informational banners on premium for our own content. Since it’s our own, it’s totally not an ad!”
Then just: “Pay us a monthly rate and get served ads.”
It’s like fucking clockwork with these ghouls.
If they start inserting ads in videos I’m watching even though I literally pay them not to, I’ll be more than just mildly infuriated.
Do you have a Chromecast? Install "smarttube" instead. It strips out all ads, and even has sponsor block built in so it skips sponsor stuff in video.
Can’t believe I hadn’t heard of this. Would always cast from my ad-blocked PC. But now I can use this - Thanks!
And this is why I just use an ad free YouTube client, literally provides better features for free
Pretty typical for YouTube honestly, they'd try and justify it as saying it's not an "as" it's an "experience highlight" or something.
Hey, another person who likes robot combat
More like very infuriating, I pay for premium too, if I see ads I’ll be pissed!
If I see one of those I'm cancelling my subscription and going back to the third party apps.
