They are not testing it because they already implemented it.
Ah but they’re not testing it, they’ve already impletmented it. Not technically a lie! Classic corpospeak.
Everytime I hear whining about youtube ads I’m reminded there are people who are still too dumb to use an adblocker.
Not everyone knows how to install add free YouTube-app to their smart tv.
That doesn’t make them dumb. Most of them don’t even know such things exist. Let alone know even where to start if they want to have it on their tv.
True dont blame users on whats greeds fault

Everyones tv has an hdmi port, if it doesn’t you weren’t watching youtube on it to begin with.
What does this even mean?? Smart TVs have had app support for years, even without an HDMI plug-in.
You can plug shit into it dumbass.
But how does the presence of an HDMI port determine whether or not you’re watching YouTube??
Dense motherfucker.
JFC you are a stupid one aren’t you?
OK I’ll play your game. Assume that I am, and explain to me what about an HDMI port determines whether or not I’m watching YouTube on my TV??
no u
Literally a 5 second google about “how do I get rid of ads on my smart TV” would present you half a dozen options.
I have little sympathy for people who never even try to seek any solution to their problems.
Searching that turns up information about how my particular TV OS (WebOS) has no way of getting around Youtube ads. Not every smart TV runs Android.
And no, a pihole won’t do it, either. I’ve tried.
Tried a pi-hole here for Roku, ads stopped loading when I stopped running pi-hole
Yeah right. Easy to say if you’re tech oriented. To most of my friends and family this is like foreign language.
“Use AdGuard for Android TV: Sideload the AdGuard app to block ads across apps and browsers.
Block Ads on YouTube (Android TV): Install third-party apps like SmartTube to watch YouTube without ads.
Block Domains at the Router: Use router settings to block ad domains like samsungads.com for Samsung or lgad.cjpowercast.com for LG.”
Or they’re using Brave’s builtin ad blocker.

And they didn’t to lie they’re not testing they’re implementing
You pay premium to get 30s ads only
uBlock origin on desktop, otherwise just force-close the app and reopen it
I listen to podcasts while driving using Amazon music. They recently disabled the ability to fast forward over ads using the steering wheel buttons via Android Auto. You can only fast forward now through the full phone app. Someone is going to get in a car accident because of this.
The lengths people will go not to pay for Premium.
i agree, i will go to any length to give less of my money to the megacorp google
I’m more worried about people who create content you come to YouTube for. Should they work for free for your entertainment?
Inb4 „they don’t get paid much anyway” etc
This change also coincides with a price hike. Again.
As soon as I can be assured that my money doesn’t go to exploitative algorithms, anti-consumer practices, regressive lobbying, and the majority does go directly to creators I watch, I’ll think about it.
I bet you also continuously complain you have no money
Installing ublock takes less steps than signing up and maintaining premium.
You don’t even need it sign into it. It’s literally like a single fucking click after a click after googling ublock… Jfc mate. This ain’t rocket science.
If you’re on mobile (Android) you might want to check out morphe. You can patch the YouTube apk to behave like premium (bg playback, no ads, much more.) apple users can kick rocks.
Right, i thought we wanted corporations to offer af free plans and we would support that. But here we are.
YouTube premium family is amazing. It’s cheap, i can give my keys to my friends and they didn’t get blocked for being outside my home network, i get ad free YouTube on my phone and cars. It’s actually saved me money because i cancelled xmradio because i can get everything i need on YouTube.
All the amazing stuff will be shut down in a few years. They will most definitely block access outside if your home network.
There will be an additional monthly charge of 8.99 for getting access to adfree in your car.
Best option is to support creators you enjoy directly.
