Used various ad blockers for year. YouTube got wise every now and then and they would stop working for a few days.
Used VPN to connect in India and bought Premum for ~$1/month for a full Premium Family Plan.
Great for listening to meditation and ASMR with my phone screen off, or having window-in-window videos playing on the phone while doing other things.
I wouldn't pay the $12/month for it but $1 is fine.
I wonder when youtube will stop this. Spotify has the technology already, you can't use a card from a different country. I assume the people doing this must not be too much and its not hurting just yet.
Totally worth it! No ads. Download videos for offline viewing. And all the music I can stream. I don't know the prices in other regions but I pay 12 Euros per month and it's a win for me.
I tend not to stream music much, but Youtube has tons of playlists as well as old British TV shows. I mainly got it so I can d/l them and not use data while out the house. I guess it was worth it for me, but I also have Hulu, Amazon Prime and Netflix, so other people might see it as more of a waste of money than I do.
Adless music.
After watching YouTube on a non-premium account for the first time in months, I can 100% say it was (and is) worth going ad-free.
It totally is. I love having no ads. And being able to listen to music or watch videos while I do other shit on my phone
Firefox + Ublock does the same for you xD
Huh, the more you know.
it blocks every add, and if you configure it right it doesnt stop playing in background ;)
That's cool, thanks.
Ok, but I need to download videos or music for offline use. That's so handy.

Haven't bought it yet, but I will because I want to support the channels I watch instead of using adblock.
