Can you pay to avoid ads?



You can get Premium YouTube if you don't want ads. I think it's $7.99

30 second ad to watch a 2 minute video. I absolutely despise it.


I watch YouTube a lot. I honestly never got a 30 second ad that I couldn't skip. Now 15 seconds are common.

No idea about the Youtube app, but you can get adblock though the last time I used adblock it didn't really work for Youtube. Brave has a built-in adblock and I love it. I never have any problems with youtube

I rarely use YouTube outside of computer since I can’t Adblock on other devices

Many you tubers are imbedding the ads in their content. like "while we're here let's talk about X, X is great and right now you can get X with this special code blah blah" Can't get around that with premium.


You can tap through those though.

You want a service that people create and maintain for free so you don't have to watch adds?

This is what the internet has evolved into. One big platform used to target people to try to get us to buy their products or to try to get us to think a certain way.

I love to watch youtube videos a lot. Especially, I love to listening songs while working on my Laptop and do my assignment writing LINK . But the problem is there are lots of unexpected ads comes to the browser. This is really irritating.

The ads are one thing, but the algorithm seems like absolute dog shite now. Never recommends anything new or interesting, just assumes the video you watched yesterday is the only thing you want to see in perpetuity

Ad before the video starts, users ad starts one minute in. Hit the fast forward and as soon as you hit play again BAM another YouTube ad. The problem I have paying for premium is I pay for YouTube tv already. Regular YouTube should come with that for 64.99 a month. IMO
