YouTube isn’t happy you’re using ad blockers — and it’s doing something about it::undefined

    What is even more infuriating, I’m from one of the countries that had YouTube Premium Lite available. €6,99 for adfree YouTube with none of the ‘offline’ or YouTube Music nonsense that I wouldn’t be using anyway.

    My wife and myself have been subscribed for about 6 months now, totally seeing the value of it. Literally one month after signing my mum also onto it, she gets an email telling her that her subscription will end in a month from now.

    Fuck that shit.

    YouTube Premium Lite was perfect, affordable and removed exactly the main issue with YouTube: ads. Endless stupid amounts of ads.

    I’ll go back to Firefox with any amount of extensions that block ads and block the ad-block blockers. Google would have to burn the browser market to the ground before I’ll consider subscribing again.

      They’re sure as fuck trying.

      The irony in this? They have just announced this very subscription plan in Germany. Not even a week after axing the plan in some neighbouring countries.

      I won’t ever sub. I’ll find a different hobby/time sink. I won’t ever have to worry about it though, the high seas are always more inventive so there will always be content to watch.

      I recommend going to India (VPN) in order to buy premium Together with the family option, you can get to about 1$ a month
