YouTube tests disabling videos for people using ad blockers - Lemmy.world

Maybe an unpopular opinion here… but checking my stats, since buying YouTube premium my account has watched over 50 days worth of ad free video content.

Now whilst I wish more of money went to the creators themselves, I can’t pretend I don’t get value out of the subscription. Especially compared to something like Netflix.

I have 6 subscriptions and YouTube is the last one I’d consider cancelling.

How have you seen more than 0 minutes of ads? Ublock blocks them

I have ublock on my desktop but for me with a wife and kids who who have their own devices, the TVs in the house etc, the convenience of never getting ads on any device is really good.

And for me personally I don’t mind paying if I get value in return, and I do.
