I actually paid for Reddit Premium about as long as I remember it being around. I cancelled the instant they announced the intent to paywall and censor the API.
I’m generally fine with paying for services I use and enjoy, if I consider the price reasonable. I spent a lot of time on Reddit and considered it reasonable for avoiding ads.
They’ll never see a cent from me again, not from ad revenue or otherwise. I blocked Reddit’s URLs on my PiHole just to be sure.
I also got YouTube premium, felt a bit rude to spend tens of thousands of hours without paying a cent.
My main issue is demonitising the videos also stops premium revenue, which is a bit dumb. Like sure I get removing ad revenues, but if I’m a paying customer and want a share of my cost to go to whoever I’m watching, it should just do that.
There was a workaround to signuo for YouTube premium using a VPN to turkey. It makes it $3 a month. Maybe it’s 5 now with the price hike, idk. Not sure if it still works or not though
Yeah I’ve had YouTube premium for a long time, and I don’t mind paying for it, but the fact half the people I follow are getting copyright claimed (unfairly) or taken down is really a huge bummer. It’s been hitting the true crime & film review communities particularly hard. I’m hoping more of my fave creators start using Odyssee or rumble because I don’t really like supporting a platform who treats their creators like shit.

Thanks, I didn’t know YT Vanced was being continued
UYouPlus + AltStore exists for apple users as a Vanced like app too. Works without a jailbreak as well.
Though it is a bit of a mess around because apple.

What are the benefits to YouTube Premium? I just click off the ad, knee jerk reaction. AdBlock for YouTube make my experience pretty happy.
I do like laying in bed with my gf and watching Omletto videos and the like. Not sure how Premium would help.
