If you don't care about music or background play, and all you want is to eliminate ads, YouTube Premium Lite is $8/month.

I still can't believe that they paywalled the ability for the video to keep playing when the screen is turned off.

Probably a business decision that's made them a lot of money, well done.

Thank goodness for ReVanced.

That's why I will never pay, no matter how much people glaze yt premium. I distinctly remember the day they took that simple feature away. uBlock and Vanced work fine, and it's also not hard to download to my media server for offline

I don't want to reward a company for shitty practices. What are they even doing at youtube besides changing the UI every 3 months and stuffing AI where it isn't wanted/needed.

At the bare minimum they need to enable the ability to blacklist entire channels, like I can easily do on my home setup. And ban AI videos without a label. Then they can have my $8

It's only for music where background play isn't supported for free.

Wasn't aware of this option... I'd actually switched to YT Music because the family plan for YT premium is/was pretty good. Nice to know I can bring it down in the future.
