TL;DR YouTube is testing out a new feature for YouTube Premium members. The feature is designed to help users avoid accidental taps. The feature is only available for Android and iOS.
Hopefully this community will soon ban click bait grabage from AA.
Because it’s included with my YouTube music subscription.
It is easier to stream on different non-Android clients and I’m not a broke college student any more.
What feature I’d like to see added to YouTube premium is having built in sponsorblock of their own so that categories like sponsored segment or interaction requests can be automatically skipped over. Or even dislike visibility.
Until then lack of ads is not enough of a selling point for me when third party apps have what I now consider an essential feature.
Edit: I would also like the ability to create groups back. Once that disappeared I ended unsubscribing from a lot of channels that put out too much content that it flooded my feed and hurt visibility of smaller channels I wanted to see videos from.
NewPipe and Freetube on the other hand lets me create groups, so I can have a category to just see my cooking channels I follow and a separate one for hobby channels.
Integrating sponsorblock officially would piss off both sponsors and the creators who would now get less money because sponsors aren’t willing to pay as much for ad spots that don’t reach everyone
Exactly this, if sometimes I want to watch a video about my secondary hobby, but it doesn’t mean that I want my feed to be flooded.
Manually curated groups without algorithms are a must
Yeah, those big channels just dominate the home feed. And Google being Google after killing off a feature still hasn’t bothered to bring it back. I don’t subscribe to those channels as a result like LTT and instead just visit the channel page directly. My subscriptions are for smaller ones with rare upload schedules.
Bring dislike count back and I’d consider getting premium
Wow. Revolutionary.
Okay but honestly what they need to fix is this new pinch to zoom. It is way more annoying to fill screen now and I can’t think of a single instance I’ve wanted to zoom and crop in more than a fill on a video I’m watching
What I really want is a way to delete all saved videos from watch later. Instead of having to delete them one by one.
