There is no adblocker on TVs, so YT premium is actually nice for that, also listening on YT on phone without screen on is very nice

There's an exploit on Android and TV/Console where you click the i with the circle around it and click "Don't recommend ad", but you need an account for it, and ad personalization.

Maybe the ads became intrusive because the site is desperate for money, and they became desperate for money because too many people were using AdBlock to begin with so their revenue dropped. If a site has to pick between shutting down vs intrusive ads, they will pick intrusive ads.

Well if you don't want to buy ad blocker you can use Opera browser it has inbuilt ad blocker . I don't know about tv/console but it works just fine on PC and mobile.

Like they used to when the web was young. Ads used to look like static billboards on pages which were same for everyone.

The current norm of stealing personal information to create a profile for targeted advertising is disrespectful of user's privacy. We shall not respect those who do not respect us.

It includes a Spotify premium equivalent with YT music, so… 2 birds 1 stone really

If ios then I don't know since I use android (maybe brave browser?).

But on android you can actually install plugins on Firefox app like a pc so get ublock origin and have fun.

Reading about how advertisers use your data is actually disgusting.

All browsers on iOS apparently runs on top of some safari stuff so they don't have that much freedom in what can be done (so no plugins :( )

I myself love uBlock origin on Firefox on my android

Some websites after installing AdBlock: Please, turn off AdBlock:(

Me: Continue without disabling.

Please explain "reduce ads"... Does it mean that you still get ads but not as much???

Mobile and TV exists. On PC, I agree but it's not a useless premium. And downloading stuff is really nice.

The only use for yt premium is on mobile because the browser version is shit and the app has no ad blockers I can think of. If there are though please let me know

Use ublock orgin on Firefox with security set to strict (content moderation is deliberately broken in newer versions of chrome)

Ublock origin is a general content blocker. It blocks malware as well as ads (ads are usually malware)

I mean YT Premium is also for people that want to support the creators while having no ads

By respecting their users and not overloading them with personalized ads and track them without permission.

Adblockers are just a response to greedy ad services that keep inconveniencing users for more profit.
If they just stuck to banners, nobody would be using them.

People saying this probably never leave their home. I am a YT premium subscriber, and during my travels in public transport I am happy that I can download videos and music to my phone (without ads I might add) before I go. Also the possibility to turn of my screen whithout the videos stopping is very nice.
