YouTube app ever increasing ads - alternative?

Hunterlit · 17 Jul 2021 at 20:11

4 minute music video and I had 2 ads before playing it. Longer videos on YouTube sometimes 2 or more adverts before the video starts and sometimes unskippable adverts and then several more that interrupt the video. I have adblock which stops them.

I just don't use it any more for anything other than DIY videos. Any entertainment is just not worth it anymore

This Indian / Argentinian VPN truck is intriguing.

I'm currently paying £15 per month just for YouTube music family plan...are people saying I can actually get this for £1 including YouTube premium?

Thanks. I'm not sure how it works for existing subscribers with an existing family plan though. Can I just cancel and resubscribe via Argentina?

WTF have they done to this app? I'm getting adverts spread across the entire app as well as the two standard video adverts in a tiny box in the left hand corner now. The app's literally unusable and I'll be ****ed if I'm going to pay for a premium subscription just because they're trying to force everyone down that route.

Just do the VPN trick and pay £1.40 a month. I agree in that I wouldn't pay the full price though.
