I gave in and started buying premium, it’s not particularly easy to circumvent ads on a phone and I have all my playlists and recommendations for both video and music set to my liking, background play too on iOS

Still fucking stupid that they’re doing this, love me some 15 second unskippable ads every two minutes!!

I can't get the filter working, it worked temporarily, having to wait a little while instead of watching the ad but now playback is blocked.

I actually think that YouTube Premium is one of those subscriptions that is actually worth using though to be honest. For someone who uses it quite a lot while moving from job to job at work it is nice having background play and YouTube Music as well.

Same here - if I only had to have on subscription - it would be YouTube.

I got in real early, when YouTube Music was known as Google Play Music. Spotify wasn't all that popular yet, and I was using Android (and still am) so it made sense. I got an account for $9.99 I think? Something crazy cheap.

Eventually, when Google Music became YouTube Music, they also 'doubled-up' the features by providing ad-free videos, background play, downloads, all this other stuff to YouTube - no extra cost- can't be mad at that.

One day, I find YouTube offers a 'student plan' that offers all the same benefits at 4.99. as long as you have a .edu & compatible school systems only. Deal.

I cancel my Premium. Sign-up for the student plan. Uh-oh, my (high) school system isn't eligible. And since the subscription price has gone up since I registered, YT asks me for the standard price which is now $12.99. Shit.

I contact Google support over the phone - give them my email, explain my situation, and they reenact me with my $9.99 price. Sweet. That last's about two years, where I find I can go into a student plan (and this time be able to check eligibility without needing to cancel!) for $6.99. Confirm eligibility, took two minutes, discount applied! This has lasted me since about Jan 2021.

I can still get access to my .edu without being a student (perks of a technical college I suppose) and I have no plans of changing unless I am forcibly booted from that discount, wouldn't matter sense no other company would come close to the perks it offers. Even still, that one customer service interaction of Google honoring my grandfathered price is enough to retain my customer loyalty.

This shit bricked my YouTube and I can't watch anything anymore on my account, thanks

Edit: Doing this fixed it, I'll stick to my uBlock filter method.

I didn't make this shit, works perfectly for me, it blocks ads by itself so turn off other adblocker for youtube.com only

My account got blocked too after trying other methods so I turned off all adblockers, waited for YT to let me watch shit then used this script and its been working since

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

For some reason my YouTube is perma blocked on Brave so I recommend switching to a non-Chromium based browser like Firefox. YouTube works there no problems, you just have to install uBlock Origin. The filter isn't even needed and works without it just fine.

Also you can use Firefox on your phone and install uBlock on there as well which is pretty neat.
