      As much as free would be ideal, it would make more sense to offer a "deep discount" on RUclips premium. Offering the family plan for the same price as individual.

    • @K4rmaRules
      @K4rmaRules Месяц назад +2

      Exactly. For the price, you expect premium content and that isn't happening. Instead RUclips is being flooded by AI generated news content with many bots replying just to harvest peoples' data. You can tell an AI generated video by the sound as it's usually not as good as a real content creator. You can hear a slight buzzing to the voice and they also have a video somewhere on their channel telling you how you too can generate AI videos.

I also get all of my music from RUclips also and the sheer amount of music available is just outstanding, whether if it's from the early days of rock right up to today.

    Other reason is I can skip the majority of ads. Although admittedly, the loud, annoying ones are terrible with headphones in or when I'm watching something quiet that suddenly cuts to a really high volume ad.

    My setup I have a PC laptop with HDMI. I then connect my Laptop to my large LCD Display via the HDMI cable. Then have a wireless keyboard/mouse to control my You Tube viewing.
    Yes it does knock out the Ads, but also now finding content creators are imbedding their ads within the videos themselves. Kind of annoying, but I quickly skip over them to get to the main topic of the video. I am glad most of these they just do one imbedded Ad.
    Premium is great for me when watching You Tube movies and not have annoying Ads pop up all the time. I can sit back and enjoy the entire movie.
    All in All, I like the premium You Tube services. Thanks for your video and take care.

    worth it just for no ads. this is a great sub i was watching this just to learn if content creators get snubbed when i don't have to view their ads. i might have missed it but i didn't hear anything about that here

    Outside of a few stints due to personal circumstances, I’ve had RUclips Premium the majority of the time ever since it came out in 2014 as RUclips Red. The ad-free service is so huge especially since I’ve seen it for myself how badly the ads have gotten over the years. In 2014, they weren’t that bad. In 2018, I was surprised with how much more often they were but felt moderate to me. Then in 2023, my goodness was it awful seeing how often ads showed up in the middle of videos.
    My one knock on the service is that there’s no option for an annual plan or if there is, you can’t have it selected from Apple which is what I do through my Apple account. If they could make that widely available, I would be all on board for a yearly subscription. I personally like to choose anything yearly because it does save money although you have one massive hit you have to take but you don’t have to worry about paying anything until the following year so it clears things up.

    The problem I have with ytube is playing movies the sound is awful the movie is low in sound and then the ads blast you out of your chair. Have new 80 in LG smart tv do not have sound problems with netflix hulu etc So would this go away when when pay for ad free. What about the sponsored podcast I resent this and do skip plus thumbs down Tired of being monitized. Amazon just flashed a banner saying will be adding ads to Prime video or an extra 2.99 per month where does it end

    Interesting, i have had Premium since the RED days and never realised so many of these app features were Premium only. I initially subscribed mainly for the music as the algorithm was so much better and getting ‘my’ music right than the others. Then i got drawn in to the video side as it was so seamless and enjoyable to watch ad free. Love it.

    I got youtube premium way back when for free when i bought my last new phone and after a couple years the free deal ended, but i could not go back to watching ads. The only downside is youtube music leaves some room for improvement. The radio feature was a great way for me to find similar songs and artist based on a certain song, artist, or album i was getting into, back on Google play... but my God the algorithm on yt music's radio feature is laughable most of the time and sometimes it would play the last 10 songs you listened to regardless of the artist you select and often just throw oddballs into the queue for no reason. Recently i had a radio playing for seether and put of nowhere it threw in a sturgill simpson song. It also loves to throw Clutch into any tangentially related rock Playlist. I like Clutch but i wouldn't sort them into the same box as something like korn
