Yeah I only ever saw it on Desktop since I do most my viewing there, and even then only on specific videos. So its not crazy frequent, just annoying its a thing at all.

I do love the idea of youtube building in a skip for in vid sponsors though, that would possibly bring me back haha. Like if sponsored creators were required to add a "sponsor" chapter to their vids, so premium users could have it just skip that block of the video 🤔

I mean, in the image above it specifically says “You can go ad-free with YouTube premium.”

They don’t say “get rid of pre roll ads” or “remove banner ads” they just say “ad-free” which it specifically is not. They still show me an ad, so it’s not ad-free. That’s just a lie.

I def do not believe they are within their rights to add ads whenever they want, when I specifically bought “ad free”

I know I can’t trust google to stand by their word, I’m just saying that this is what finally broke the ol camels back and pushed me away from giving them anything, even my eyes on their “free” platform.

Threw in a response on the thread above, don’t wanna just copy past spam haha.

I think you have to be watching a video that it connects to.

So for example I was watching the Game Grumps play Peppa pig (lol I know but it was hilarious) so it put an ad saying “try paramount plus to watch peppa pig” under it.

I’ve seen it on a few other vids that have movies associated, like sonic for example. Seems to be a semi recent thing though

(Is this how I post a pic on Lemmy? lol)

My problem is that I paid for YouTube premium, for “an ad free experience” in their words. Then I immediately had an ad for paramount plus embedded under my video.

So I canceled and they can go fk themselves. I was willing to support them directly, but they straight up lied about what I was buying from them.

“You can go ad free with YouTube premium!”

Buys premium

youtube shows ad for paramount plus under my video

Cancels YouTube premium.

So anywho there’s a thing called freetube. Just saying. Idk that it’s a perfect alternative, but it’s at least one step further from googles prying eyes and grubby hands.

Very good news.

I’m not smart enough to know. If the gov shuts down, would that stall his trials as well? Or is that a separate entity?

Don’t know that I’d call it a hobby exactly, but a habit at least. Finally working out.

I needed something since I was always home and just felt weak. Got a set of adjustable dumbbells and a small lifting bench.

3 years later and they are still by my desk, used 3 times a week!

As a white person from Wisconsin who never crosses the boarder… this is extreme and scary.

Not a single limb on the keyboard. How unrealistic.

If there was another candidate who held the same values, but was of a younger age. I’d go for the younger one for sure.

It’s not Bernie because he’s amazing. It’s because he’s the best we got.

Same how I vote for x party, not because they are good. But because they are less bad.
