Do not redeem sir
Look at the top. The account already has Premium, and Google are still advertising.
Just to add on, the
Do not redeem sirwas probably a reference to a viral Kitboga video where a giftcard scammer gets very… agitated with the prankThat man does god’s work
I was about to ask if this was a paid premium or modded app.
Out of curiosity, what rewards?
I don’t really know, I just want it to shut the fuck up and get out of my face, but I guess this is what I get for playing by the rules, eh?
It’s typically the ones who follow the rules that get the most shafted.
This has been my experience in every job I’ve ever had.
Yeah that’s what my revanced looked like. Hard to tell…
3mo gamepass, 6mo walmart shit (you can use their gas pumps and get free deliveries), download videos and some AI features about videos and comments. A friend on my account is trying to get the AI to interact with him on gun and explosive videos. Knowing him he may see how it responds to racists and cumtown as well.
I have all 5 family slots full and also pay $2/mo for drive space for everyone. I have hundreds of books and some games and apps shared with them as well.
Trying to keep us paying for premium through the price hikes.
With family sharing I find it worth it anyway.
We’re on a family plan, and I plan on keeping it because I don’t want to disappoint my grandmother, she really likes it ;-;
Everyone seems to love it. I just hate ads.
My premium sub doesn’t do this, you can contact google live chat support 24/7 (with a premium sub) to figure this out or to get your money back
How is this an ad? They are informing you that you can get more out of your subscription. Would it be better that they’re didn’t inform you about this and hid it away in some obscure menu somewhere?
There are lots of reasons to not like Google/YouTube, but I can’t see how this is one of them.
Edit: There is also a clearly visible dismiss button.
Maybe it’s a vendor specific thing, but my official YouTube app does not support that colour scheme. Dark mode is just gray ish
OLED-friendly theme.
Wait, can you show me where that setting is? That’d be great for my phone!
Mine is stock and black, not gray
Manufacturers like Samsung and Motorola have their own version of the app in the play store, without disclosing it. Unless you have a custom phone or got lucky you might not be stock
Pixel 7 Pro. I think that counts as stock YouTube as you can get (same vendor for device and application).
odd, perhaps I’m overlooking a setting
?
They could have easily emailed that shit instead of making it a full screen popup that shouldn’t have existed.
what? yes I am redeeming the card
Microsoft employee: " Ma’am are you a prostitute? WHY DID YOU REDEEM YOU BITCH???"
Is there a r/FuckAlegriaArt-like community on the Fediverse?
Fuck this shit.
Revanced 👏 Extended 👏
Or ther regular one… either one fixes the problem 👍.
😯 What’s extended??
I don’t know what the hell I did to my revanced because now it only plays the first like minute of a video, then it just buffers nonstop.
Praise inotia00
Sucks to be an iOS user. On Android you can install ReVenced and block all Ads and in video sponsors.
Additionally, you can install 3th party clients for YouTube Music (without ads and background play).
Don’t worry, iPhones will need to support sideloading by March 2024 in EU. Unfortunately, unlike with USB-C, this will most likely be limited to EU.
So, if you’re not in the EU… do continue worrying.
What is the difference in this new sideload thingy EU only compared with what we have today with tools like Altstore?
Probably they will add a way to sideload APKs on device, without 3th party tools.
They might increase the 3 apps limit too.
I feel like everybody is overlooking the fact that this person is getting an ad, to watch ads, after already paying for Premium.
But it’s not an ad. It’s a prompt telling you that getting premium has more options than free YouTube.
That’s still an advertisement. It’s an advertisement for something you’re already using to encourage you to use more features of it so they can get analytic data from your usage patterns.
When is an ad not a prompt?
Y’all speaking about NewPipe and ReVanced, but SmartTube Next, which was originally intended for Android on smart TV’s, works perfectly on phones too.
And aside of blocking ads and allowing you to log in, it has Sponsorblock integrated.
There’s a NewPipe fork that includes Sponsorblock and dislikes, just a heads up
But you don’t have the option to play in the background
Maybe true before but not now. They even have a pip function
Edit - talking about smartnext
That is interesting then
With the Premium Afterhours service you get ad-free but also handjobs from a YouTube intern in the broom closet. $15.99 per month no contract, cancel anytime.
Have to admit that’s a good deal.
Yeah… if I get to choose the sex of the intern?
Ehh, as long as they look the part. Wigs are cheap
Lol, good answer 😂. Choosers masturbate by themselves 😂.
oh. I guess I need to read the terms of service a bit closer.
if youre using android, please install youtube revanced/revanced extended. it makes the youtube experience a lot less shit. if youre using an iphone and live in europe, wait until iOS is officially forced to allow sideloading and install a third party client!
Do these 3rd party apps let you get rid of Shorts? I absolutely despise accidentally clicking on Shorts and would prefer if they actually stayed in the Shorts section so this doesn’t happen on my Home feed.
Yup.
Try Grayjay still in development and sometimes it crashes but it has no shorts. Better said it has them but they get treated like a video. No full screen no dedicated button and no scrolling. Downside (or not) it has no recommendations even if you subscribe,can’t comment in youtube but you got a platform comments
I just went the ol’ VPN route and got a YouTube Premium family subscription in Turkey. It’s about 2€/month for 5 people; peanuts essentially. I wish I could avoid giving money to Google entirely but I’m mostly using Apple devices to consume YouTube content and my four friends who share the subscription with me do as well. So yeah, that’s the trade-off I can live with.
It puts the adverts on its eyes or else it gets the premium subscription
"Hold on honey, I’ll learn how to fix this pipe that’s burst, once I watch these 3 ads, complete this survey, redeem these rewards, finish this captcha and confirm my email.
Oh, this video isn’t available in Canada.
Even though it was made in Montana, literally a few miles from here."
Im down with paying for YouTube. I use it a lot, and loath ads. I also don’t wanna get attached to another third party client just for it to be taken away. Especially one that is breaking TOS or otherwise not using an official API
They can’t keep raising the prices though. It’s already at a limit really.
Also, the “rewards” that message proffers are bullshit. Just like the rewards that Google One has.
It’s kind of insulting. Like I said, I’ll pay because the money ends up with creators. And many creators say it’s more that ads get them. But puffing up bullshit rewards? Fuck off.
If I can pay to remove ads I will. Next is ad blocking. If I can’t do that, I won’t use your service and pirate your shit.
You want the platform to have an option to remove in video ads?
I want to be able to pay to remove ads, yes. I won’t use a service that won’t let me remove ads.
That’s the seek/fast forward button though. Or did you want the platform to be super hostile to it’s creators by automatically removing any sponsor spots in the video?
Oh, I see what you mean. Sponsored ads. Nah, I either ignore those or skip through them. Somehow I don’t find them as frustrating.
This is the true reason why I don’t have YouTube premium. This is quite an awful experience for a supposedly premium subscription. Why pay for premium if the experience is better using free methods?
Please corporations, treat paying subscribers well.

how dare they give you free things for supporting content creators.
So much hate for having to pay 🤣
