    Is this a sponsored article? Bc buying yt premium doesn’t seem like a workaround to me.

      I think you stopped scrolling too early

      That said though, there is one ad blocker that still works. Two words: uBlock Origin. Yes, I know that Google has blocked it from its Chrome Extension store, but there is still a way to get uBlock Origin on Chrome that our how-to extraordinaire Kaycee has detailed.

      They even link to what I assume is that process.

      But…

      It costs the same as Spotify

      I used Google Play music and it was awesome, when it shuttered I tried Spotify and didn’t like it.

      YouTube premium is worth it just for music on your phone/car, getting YouTube ad free is kind of just a bonus. But there’s a couple podcasts I watch on there, and I’ve found a couple really good channels for all the crazy science stuff that’s been happening. Not to mention a lot of UK shows upload full episodes, and there’s more than one account that somehow uploads full runs of shows after being upscaled to 4k.

      I really don’t understand why so many people are against YouTube premium. It makes sense if someone just pirates all their other media. But people pay for a music streamer and a couple TV streamers… It seems like an arbitrary line.

      Edit:

      The article is from “toms guide” not “toms hardware”.

      The guide has every article like this where it reads like paid advertising. The “hardware” one is a good resource.

      But yeah, pretty much anything from “tomsguide” is going to read like paid advertising for something. I legit don’t know if they’re affiliated or it’s a ripoff site built to confuse people with the “hardware” site.

        I think it’s decent value but I’m already running extensions or mods to skip the in-video ads, so I may as well just block ads for free too.

        If YouTube Premium ever got an official sponsorblock, it’d become a good deal.
