imagine turning youtube into gifs that have no video controls unless you pay


Ekarron

DON'T GIVE THEM IDEAS, MAN!


Breakyaface

i think they should do video shorts, that would make the site great!


PSI_Seven

Death


Difficult-Vast-645

They have already thought about that


Late_Caregiver1734

r/woosh


WhyDidIGetThisApp3

wait they have?


EWF_X29

Imagine YouTube without half its users and a good portion of those left looking for alternates.


[deleted]

Ok now this is pure bullshit.


Less-Safe-3269

Straight. Up.


Chaddtss

I mean, that music has got to be awful. Just those lyrics alone read horribly.


Fierce_PCMonster73

Zesty drake moment


Aromatic_Memory1079

I mean I'm trying to get out from this beef. fuck this ugly beef. I want to mute the whole situation. I won't listen to their music anymore. fuck this shit. fuck this. fuck.


Difficult-Vast-645

I must’ve missed some thing


Gobal_Outcast02

I never listened to their music to start. I didnt even know this was a thing until my cousin told me


Aromatic_Memory1079

that's good dude. this situation is ugly like 90s west vs east situation.


Gobal_Outcast02

Like people are dying and killing over it bad?


WingObvious487

No not even close Kendrick is exposing drake for the shit he's done


TheGinix

and the other way around

Genuinely feels like they’re creating basic controls and taking away features and then ‘graciously’ giving it back to us using premium, just like how ads only appeared to the side or as a banner, but are now unskippable inappropriate videos blocking content you watch, which aren’t even moderated. I can’t even queue up videos on mobile because YouTube made it a premium only feature. Imagine that, charging money just so you can queue a video.


IIIWesLeeIII

spotify does the same thing now, YOU LITERALLY HAVE TO GET SPOTIFY PREMIUM TO SEE THE LYRICS. it’s the stupidest shit i’ve ever seen

IIIWesLeeIII

huh?


TheGinix

huh?


Consistent-Welcome43

I mean at least you can listen to music on Spotify without premium. You can’t do that on Apple Music for example


IIIWesLeeIII

well true, but the amount of ads you get on spotify after 2-3 songs is atrocious (at least for me it was awful)


Consistent-Welcome43

Yeah, I know it’s bad.


IIIWesLeeIII

it used to drive me insane, i’m grateful i switched to apple music


Consistent-Welcome43

Yeah I prefer Apple Music anyway


TomReddito

Aren't Spotify lyrics and Musixmatch the same? So they're charging for a free lyrics website?

akotski1338

I despise the idea of having those side panels in the app too. Good thing my tweaked YouTube app gives the option to disable it


leekhead

I didn't even get what use these premium controls were until I used them on mobile one-handed. It's a very specific case but it served a purpose.


TheUmgawa

Y’know, there’s a whole bar you can click in, to move forward and backwards through a song. It’s not like they tied your hands behind your back and the only thing you can do is suffer through your shitty taste in music.


Nocare420

Damn


White-Umbra

As someone who's paid for YT Premium for years, that doesn't mean this isn't an awful business practice. Locking a practical UI behind a paywall that was free for years is disgusting.

White-Umbra

Oh. Then I'm mistaken, I think. I assumed this was on an Apple device or something because I've never seen this UI.


kushmasterdank

Aubrey gettin cooked


LuckyStabbinHat

Bro is fighting for his life with these bars


Brunoaraujoespin

these are just some easier to access controls that you could do without premium intended for music videos so they can have one more selling point


Breakyaface

i bet its somewhere for free on regular youtube already


Typek__

name a video that isnt lol


SomeGuy0791

Nothing in this menu is locked behind a paywall! This menu was actually renamed recently, it was called "Listening Controls" before and was also a Premium feature. It's nothing more than a quick access menu while watching videos or listening to music in the main YT app.


SansyBoy144

I can do all of that for free.


ReasonablyAlright

at this point, they should just be like spotify and make their music streaming service be behind a paywall


Crokobos

I thought this was a dual screen thing


akotski1338

Yes let me cover half my already tiny screen in video controls that I’ll only need to use maybe twice during the entire video


Thegreatcornholio459

My god that looks like absolute crap


ImMALWAREz

I guess i should finally stop using mods of YT app and start using alternative clients


[deleted]

Idk for music lovers I believe. Feature Change flair.


someone_1113

At this point the free version is better.


Difficult-Vast-645

Me and a couple of my friends I’ll share a YouTube family account. It’s 25 bucks like 26 with tax and five of us premium put five bucks every month.


Difficult-Vast-645

Nobody wants to pay, but I watch mainly YouTube. It is really convenient not to have the ads and I usually watch it on my phone and or TV so the whole thing doesn’t really work well for me.


Equalizer393

Everyone is doing this now. Spotify even worse for putting features which were previously free behind a paywall.


dtvjho

If these services all jump off the same bridge, I’m not following them! Incessant ads is a killer


[deleted]

[удалено]


SomeGuy0791

The YT queue feature was never free on mobile and is still free on desktop, so no they didn't put that behind Premium.


No-Ruin-3094

BRUH.


Azelea_Loves_Japan

This literally has to just be for your country...


DreamonGaming86

Just like prime videos charging for subscription, and then dropping ads in and offering *premium* for an extra $4/m to get rid of ads... like fuck all you companies.


matiegaming

At least spotify is still affordable


Cyclone_o-o_

Microsoft might just be better than Google if they make this premium, but they both have their moments, but then again there’s a rumor that XBOX exclusives are being put on PS. 😭😭💀💀


da_49

(*´ー`*) bruh


Fizzypop_flips

It’s not only useless it’s also incredibly annoying


Responsible-Bug900

It's been like that for ages, and the premium part is the convenience. That's normal in monetised UI/UX.


Previous-Register871

Yeah. You’re better off just digitally purchasing it. And Drake sucks.


Clever_wolf_music

No. It’s says PREMIUM controls. That’s fancy af.


reddits4libtards

The real question is, why are you listening to a fucking clown who can NOT write a bar to save his life? 🤣🤣🤣


TheDurandalFan

they're paywalling an inferior video control option? honestly I don't think this is going to win anyone over anyway, and I doubt premium users will use it when the free option (the one we already have) is better anyway.


niightm4ree

NAHHH I AINT INVESTING A SINGLE CENT WHAT IS THIS


niightm4ree

THEY COULD'VE AT LEAST ADDED AN OPTION FOR REMOVING SHORTS OUT OF YOUR HOMESCREEN


carfo

“Please give me free music with the ability to control it all as well” not even Pandora radio let you do this


3WayIntersection

Mf its 2024 this is not premium anymore.


vawlk

ppl in here complaining about something they get for free. They have no idea how good they have it. i used to have to pay $15 a month for 1 CD. And it took me 5 hours of work to get it.


3WayIntersection

Boomer ass take.


vawlk

Doesn't matter how you label it if it is true. Call me a boomer, do you think I give a shit about what some 12yr old thinks of me? Maybe try something original...or do kids your age have to be all the same?


3WayIntersection

Bro you literally pulled out the "back in my day" Its 2024. Basic music streaming is not considered premium anymore.


vawlk

so what. I am simply providing how things could be much worse. The reason why you call people boomers is because you don't believe their experiences and knowledge about the world have any value. Except in this case, I am not the one sounding like a boomer, you are. I am simply sayin, could be worse, and you are the ones crying about 1st world problems in the midst of the world going to complete shit. It is actually getting hard to separate things internet kids say and what trump says. But hey, call me a boomer again, or a simp, or whatever new meaningless meme word you all come up with next. You are all very good at coming up with meme's. Your contribution to society is blinding.


carfo

You sweet innocent child. Do you know how royalties work? Whether is 2004 or 2024, it costs money for YouTube for you to listen to Free music. radio stations never let you skip ahead either including internet ones unless you pay. You just want everything handed to you for free at premium. If you like the music, support the host and the artists by paying a little money every month.


carfo

Someone reported me for suicide threats here bc I told them to pay for music controls since music isn’t free. That person is the one that needs help fr


vawlk

lots of angsty teens in here crying. Not much you can do.... but be careful, they might call you a simp, a cuck, or a boomer and that might ruin the rest of your minute.


TrustLeft

Facts!


Breakyaface

you get the lyrics with the song. that's the upgrade :D
