pail Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Damn site wouldn't stop pestering me about the free trial, so I got it and stuck with it. It's really dumb on my part. Because I don't want 'Red' for any of the extra features, shows and shit. Nah. I shell out $15 a month for one reason. No. Advertising. Like I said it really stupid on my part, but after using 'Red' for a few months I just can't see going back to YouTube ads. It's just so much better when you can hop around the site freely without any interruptions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
André Toulon Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 I haven't seen a red ad for like a year.....Maybe more. I didn't even think they still pushed that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they push it harder on the app. Because it would regularly pop up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarPanda Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 I pay for Google play so YouTube red is included the only thing that i like is the no ads on my yt Videos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naraku360 Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 I fucking hate Youtube Red. I have it exclusively so I can listen to videos on my phone while doing other things. There's even a goddamn loophole to do it without, but ads mess it up and it's annoying to do for every single video. I try setting up dummy accounts for the free trial whenever I remember to cancel pre-payment since paying to listen to videos as background is complete bullshit.

Yeah, I only see ads for it on the app. It's probably to give mobile users the middle finger for not being able to tab out without Red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrigunBebop Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Nope, and I almost never see ads anyways. For some reason, ads almost never play when you watch YouTube vids via a Chromecast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swimmod_Luna Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 AdBlock Plus blocks ads on YouTube. I don't watch YouTube on mobile often enough to care about ads there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue_Alphonse Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 No, because I only get ads when I use my phone or tablet for YT. Normally if I watch or listen to music on YT, it’s on my PC and I don’t get ads. Usually I use Amazon or radio station apps to listen to music via my tablet.

I guess I have had a couple times where the audio will work but the video is just a black screen, but it works if I just restart Chrome. I use ABP and uBlock Origin so maybe uBlock is actually the one blocking ads? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
