YouTube Premium quietly goes up in price to $14 per month | That’s a significant $2 increase with no official announcement.::Google has quietly increased the price of YouTube Premium by a significant $2 from $12 to $14, according to the updated signup page…
If you’re just a bit tech savvy and don’t use your tv as your primary YouTube player then it’s reasonably easy to avoid ads and download stuff on YouTube no matter if you’re on Android, PC, or even iOS (yes without jailbreak).
I pay for it since I use it pretty often on my tv. I’ve gotten rid of other subscriptions to cover the cost. I use YouTube fairly often. My kid watches it on tv and I didn’t want him inundated with ads.
I feel like they forced me to pay though. I’d put on a show for my kid and 3 minutes in, there would be a 2 hour ad that played something completely different and pushed bullshit ads in front of him. I couldn’t subject him to that and there really isn’t an alternative.
Count me in on the group. Have been a family subscriber for awhile. Daughter is 7 and autistic so when an ad pops up she always installs the games then they are horrible and piss her off or she wants me to spend money on it because they force it down your throat. Easier to just give Google some money and not have to deal with it.

Revanced Manager for phones. SmartTubeNext for TVs.
For anyone reading who’s curious about iOS options, using Yattee with your Invidious or Piped instance of choice is a good way to go!
Or getting a tweaked YouTube app sideloaded.
Even with a TV there are options. I know Android/Google TV and LG WebOS both have apps available to sideload.
LG webOS? Please do tell what to do? I hate watching YT on my LG tv, its like two ads between each and every video…
I haven’t done it personally because I have an Android TV box connected to my LG TV with SmartTubeNext, but here’s an archived reddit post with a guide for it.
They patched it a while ago on the webos and I lost the app with an update (either the TV updated itself or someone pressed ok when it prompted). Is there any new way to do so?
There’s even Playlet for Rokus!

NewPipe for the win! Probably one of the best apps I have ever downloaded.
Care to share iOS tips for the uninitiated?
You can install uyou+ (a tweaked youtube app, found on github) via sideloadly, which requires a mac or pc.
You can look it up, theres plenty of guides. If you get stuck feel free to DM me or reply here.
