if there premium gave actual 4k qaulity with out there massive ammounts of compression then ok? but even then I think it scummy, i actual think youtubes compressions on video is almost as bad as most cable/sat compression if not worse

I do watch YT a lot, with no adds and ive never noticed any throttling, and i dont pay a penny for it.

Yes, but no L key on kitchen television!
And on related note, another thing I noticed is there is no way to cancel/skip ads when viewing them on PC using Firefox's feature allowing you to pop-out a video to play outside of browser in another area of screen in its own little window - a very handy feature.

Hah get yourself a wireless keyboard. Or, you can use Droidmote, which has been super handy for me - it allows your phone to act as a trackpad, keyboard, or gamepad through wifi.
I'm aware of Firefox's pop-out player, though I never really figured out what it was good for. Why not just detach the whole tab? I'm genuinely curious BTW - maybe there is something great about it that I'm not aware of.

I have two monitors... main 27" and portrait 24". When I am working over remote desktop, I sometimes pop-out a you tube video onto side monitor while continuing to work over remote on main monitor. I suppose I could detach tab, but more inconvenient, like to keep all tabs on one browser window. It also remembers where you pop-out size and position wise so handy that way too.

That is probably the best reason why the rest of us have to pay more for less services in the end.
You are so brave kiddo 😎

Ha ha ha, poor old YouTube and how they must be struggling in the current economic climate.
Its life bud, same reason i use a VPN, use Adblock (but not on sites im a member of such as Guru3D), use Ghostery, block my browsing from analytical capture programs.
Also i dont pay for any PPV UFC fights because in my country we dont have to, i also use my VPN to get cheaper Steam games, cheaper Netflix and access to Disney +. And none of this is illegal.
But ive never used pirated software.
If you want to watch adverts on TV then crack on

Yeah, it's really not a high fee to ask if you watch YouTube much at all.

You think having to watch a ton of ads is cool?

Always selecting 1440p anyway due to crap quality video scaling of browsers.

Have you seen this sh!t! ? Cheeky Fuc£jers! 😀

Nope. What ad blocker are you using?
I'm using UBlock Origin, and it still works perfectly.

I use AdBlock and Ghostery and am seeing this
Horus-Anhur
I have seen several people with AdBlock with that problem.
Which was fixed when they installed UBlock Origin.

Good, stop freeloading and either pay by disabling your ad Blockers or subscribing.

Id rather not fill Youtubes pockets by watching the same Life Insurance adverts every 10 minutes if its all the same to you bud. I allow adverts on some sites, like Guru3D for instance but YouTube and Google can do one.

Alphabet already makes Billions with user data, that they then sell to any company willing to pay.
When we subscribe to a service like Gmail, Google search or youtube, we already pay with our data and privacy.
So this is google trying to force us to pay twice for the same service.

Ad Nauseam seems to work fine so far.

Then pay for you tube premium. That disables the ads. They're no different than ads here just operating on a bigger scale.
