I recently cancelled youtube premium due to the price increase. Invidious has been great to catch up on new videos from all my subbed channels. Sure It’s only at 720p. But i don’t have to see recommended videos cluttering up the main page or having to watch multiple non-skippable ads. I didn’t mind paying for premium family plan when it was $17/month. But the recent jump to $22 in a single increase is a bit much. At that price, it would cost me more than hulu and disney plus subscriptions combined.


> having to watch multiple non-skippable ads

UBlock Origin blocks ads completely. :)


Sponsorblock then skips embedded sponsor segments too.


The day YouTube incorporates something similar to sponsor block in YouTube premium will be the day that I actually buy YouTube premium. I think if YouTube premium advertises that they remove the ads, they should remove all of the ads including in video sponsors.


They probably should share YouTube premium revenues with content creators then


They already do


I mean honestly though. A while back I was deciding between getting youtube premium or spotify for music, and I was leaning towards youtube except for two things:

1) youtube was refusing to take my money. I don't have a credit card and youtube does not support any other payment methods.

2) youtube premium at the time would STILL show you ads. It just promised they would be "less frequent".


Yeah on desktop browsers , UBlock origin works well. But haven’t found a solution for mobile app. (IOS). Any recommendations?


uYouPlus [1] doesn't require a Jailbreak, just sideloading. It implements SponsorBlock as well.

Yattee might be something to look into. https://github.com/yattee/yattee


Orion browser for iOS is a tad rough around the edges still but its adblock works very well


> Sure It’s only at 720p.

Some instances offer DASH which gives you up to 4K depending your bandwidth IIRC.
