I feel like everybody is overlooking the fact that this person is getting an ad, to watch ads, after already paying for Premium.
I suspect that he is using YouTube ReVanced, which allows you to patch the YT app. One of the patches is replacing the branding with “Premium”. But you occasionally still get YT Premium ads - 0 normal ads, tho.
This might be the case
Revanced usually hides the big central ‘+’ upload button by default. Unless OP explicitly re-enabled it, they are using the standard app.
You are correct, no big + in my app.
Thanks for letting me know this existed, I will be downloading it immediately. Edit: ReVanced isn’t available on IOS, I use Android but the guy who posted this is clearly using IOS.
If you don’t want to bother with the whole patching process you can also try Grayjay, it’s in early beta but it works flawlessly on my phone. Haven’t tried casting yet but it’s supposed to work, as opposed to Revanced.
Good point, I don’t really use iOS, so it didn’t cross my mind.

Came here looking for this comment…
But it’s not an ad. It’s a prompt telling you that getting premium has more options than free YouTube.
That’s still an advertisement. It’s an advertisement for something you’re already using to encourage you to use more features of it so they can get analytic data from your usage patterns.
I mean, I like being told about new features rather than needing to discover them myself twenty months after they came into existence
Skill issue
When is an ad not a prompt?
Do not redeem sir
what? yes I am redeeming the card
Microsoft employee: " Ma’am are you a prostitute? WHY DID YOU REDEEM YOU BITCH???"
Is there a r/FuckAlegriaArt-like community on the Fediverse?
Fuck this shit.
Revanced 👏 Extended 👏
Or ther regular one… either one fixes the problem 👍.
😯 What’s extended??
I don’t know what the hell I did to my revanced because now it only plays the first like minute of a video, then it just buffers nonstop.
Just patch a new version. Use the Revanced manager, download the latest recommended apk from apkmirror and use the default patches.
This happened to me months ago and back then it was a common issue and there was a fix. I found the fix on the subreddit but can’t quite remember what it was. A freshly patched version should do the trick though.

"Hold on honey, I’ll learn how to fix this pipe that’s burst, once I watch these 3 ads, complete this survey, redeem these rewards, finish this captcha and confirm my email.
Oh, this video isn’t available in Canada.
Even though it was made in Montana, literally a few miles from here."
Sucks to be an iOS user. On Android you can install ReVenced and block all Ads and in video sponsors.
Additionally, you can install 3th party clients for YouTube Music (without ads and background play).
Don’t worry, iPhones will need to support sideloading by March 2024 in EU. Unfortunately, unlike with USB-C, this will most likely be limited to EU.
So, if you’re not in the EU… do continue worrying.
What is the difference in this new sideload thingy EU only compared with what we have today with tools like Altstore?
Probably they will add a way to sideload
APKsiPAs on device, without 3th party tools.They might increase the 3 apps limit too.
They might increase the 3 apps limit too.
Oh yeah, that is an annoyance that needs to be fixed, totally forgot about it.
Are you sure you want to use shady 3th party service like that? You wouldn’t want to break out of Apple’s eco system, wouldn’t you? 😂
Jailbreak? Jailbreak is dead since iOS 15 but ok 🤙 Nowadays, buying an iPhone to jailbreak afterward, doesn’t make much sense at this point. You pay so much to get stability and constancy, and jailbreaking takes both away.
As ex jailbreaker, I switched to Android for this reason.
Same here, was on an iPhone 8, jailbroken on ios 16.4.1 with no stability issues. Jailbreaking is dying, I switched to Android too.
iPhone 8 stills fine for jailbreaking, but newer devices have more security layers that need to be bypassed, therefore you will have stability problems.
Also now, jailbreaks are rootless, which I don’t know what really means (probably less tweaks functionality).
Y’all speaking about NewPipe and ReVanced, but SmartTube Next, which was originally intended for Android on smart TV’s, works perfectly on phones too.
And aside of blocking ads and allowing you to log in, it has Sponsorblock integrated.
There’s a NewPipe fork that includes Sponsorblock and dislikes, just a heads up
Can I log in with my Google account too?
Nope, but that’s the point
You can import your subscriptions though
That’s why I don’t use NewPipe anymore. I have it as a backup, but I rarely open it.
I like to log in so that it affects my recommendations and history.
I see, that’s valid
NewPipe was built precisely with the purpose of avoiding that, so it goes directly against your use case.
But you don’t have the option to play in the background
Maybe true before but not now. They even have a pip function
Edit - talking about smartnext
That is interesting then
This is the true reason why I don’t have YouTube premium. This is quite an awful experience for a supposedly premium subscription. Why pay for premium if the experience is better using free methods?
Please corporations, treat paying subscribers well.
Huh? I’ve been a premium user for years. Haven’t seen an ad in a video in forever. Not sure what op is showing but looks like a little one time notification of a new feature. If I saw I’d have closed and never seen again.
I’ve seen people getting a “products you may like” in the suggestions, with premium. There is no way to remove that (other than uBlock origin)
I’ve had premium for years (I like yt music and tend to mostly watch on PS5 or using casting). Never seen anything like this. Do you have a screenshot or anything?
I’ve never had premium, mostly out of spite after the forcing ads on unmonetized creators and removing the dislike count, once I was able to afford it. But I’ve seen some other post on Lemmy with the “products you may like” appearing on a premium account.
So you never see youtubers with sponsors? Those are ads.
Oh sure I see those ads that are directly benefitting a content creator. I can skip or listen to those
if youre using android, please install youtube revanced/revanced extended. it makes the youtube experience a lot less shit. if youre using an iphone and live in europe, wait until iOS is officially forced to allow sideloading and install a third party client!
Do these 3rd party apps let you get rid of Shorts? I absolutely despise accidentally clicking on Shorts and would prefer if they actually stayed in the Shorts section so this doesn’t happen on my Home feed.
Yup.
Use Newpipe for Android. Best YouTube experience you can get.
Not if you want to keep the subscriptions from your official account. In that case Revanced is better.
I’m pretty sure there’s an import option. But I’ve never used it because I have no Google account.
There is a way to import them in block!
Try Grayjay still in development and sometimes it crashes but it has no shorts. Better said it has them but they get treated like a video. No full screen no dedicated button and no scrolling. Downside (or not) it has no recommendations even if you subscribe,can’t comment in youtube but you got a platform comments
They’re clearly using iOS. Plus, you can already sideload up to two apps with SideStore. I recommend uYouPlusExtra.
I just went the ol’ VPN route and got a YouTube Premium family subscription in Turkey. It’s about 2€/month for 5 people; peanuts essentially. I wish I could avoid giving money to Google entirely but I’m mostly using Apple devices to consume YouTube content and my four friends who share the subscription with me do as well. So yeah, that’s the trade-off I can live with.
It pays to watch ad-free videos or else it gets the hose again.
I’m not really sure what you’re trying to communicate other than a so-so attempt at a Lambs reference, but I am paying. Hence the “Premium” at the top
Fuck guntube.
With the Premium Afterhours service you get ad-free but also handjobs from a YouTube intern in the broom closet. $15.99 per month no contract, cancel anytime.
Have to admit that’s a good deal.
Yeah… if I get to choose the sex of the intern?
Ehh, as long as they look the part. Wigs are cheap
Lol, good answer 😂. Choosers masturbate by themselves 😂.
And they can also choose left or right!
oh. I guess I need to read the terms of service a bit closer.
I would totally pay for YouTube premium if they weren’t so good about making me watch my favorite gun-tubers on other platforms. Every channel has this endless and constantly changing list of words they can’t say for fear of being demonetized.
Fuck them indeed.
Break up the monopoly and I won’t need to block your ads because I’ll be able to go elsewhere.
Same. Was watching a video on nebula where they said a naughty word and I caught myself gasping but then remembered they are free to do so here.
it started as a platform to share your private video’s, these day’s it is no longer about sharing, but about monitizing your video’s. the strange thing is, people still watch, I’m sure that there are or can be better alterntatives, hence instead of complaining, set up our/your own video sharing platform…
Rewards? Oh yeah, less money in my pocket and price increases every few months? Sounds way more convenient than ublock and revanced. Rather pay with my money for an ad-free experience and line the pockets of a rich corporation. My time is too valuable to compile revanced once every few weeks!
I’d much rather donate to individual creators than such mega corporations
