You gotta get YouTube Premium. It's worth every penny. 

23 a month for family.  What good is it other than watching videos?

YouTube music is good. Honestly, I'd get Amazon Prime if I had to decide between the 2. 

I only have YouTube Premium for the kids. No ads is nice though.

It depends. If you're really into YouTube videos then it's worth it. That's really all my kids watch anymore. 

I'm all about Amazon Music. We have an Alexa in every single room and play music all the time and everywhere. 

Just tell her what Radio Station, Album, song or Podcast you want and she plays it on demand.

Do you ask her politely?

Give the ad blockers a day or two to adjust. They do every single time.

They have been doing this for a few months---they have beaten every good blocker I've ever used.  Now I'm using an extension that let's the ads run, but runs them at super quick speeds.  After maybe a second, I get the skip ad button.   Been using it for a month.

Try Ad Accelerator.

YouTube blocks over 50 percent of comments, and it is not because they violate some TOS.   It is almost all political.

Soon the Red, and Blue team will be taking away YouTube.  Let’s dummy up and stop complaining while we have it.

Google as a company ACTIVELY and DELIBERATELY works against you and your values.  Why would you give them any money at all?

You can skip after 5 seconds. Annoying but whatever. If it gets to 15 or more seconds before you can skip, my youtube use will be out of necessity and not entertainment

That would make a terrible picketing sign.

Do 5-15-30 second ads really bother you guys that much?

We are all older than, we don't know if those might be our last 30 seconds, don't want to waste it on a commercial.

Youtube starting with that bullsh1t again. Started last night and usually takes a couple days for the ad blockers to catch up.

You can ask me politely, maybe a nice little tap on the @$$ and I'll do just about anything on demand for you. ;)

Sounds like you've been reading 50 Shades again.
