“accidently on purpose”
Google stealthing premium users lol
Gemini was crashing for days, YouTube went down, Youtube music Premium is playing ads, sheesh. Guess vibe coding isn’t working
“Surprise”
It’s a ‘Feature’ 😏
Oops, that test hit 80% of customers, was supposed to be 20%.
Give it six months, maybe a year. There WILL be ads in YouTube premium and you’ll have to pay another premium on top of that for ad free.
Premium Lite is already a thing.
This only makes sense if watching for free with ads wasnt an option, if they wanted more money they would just raise the cost of premium
I mean, this exact thing has already happened with other services. Hulu used to have a free ad supported tier and a paid ad free tier, for example
No joke, this is exactly why I cancelled Spotify and went back to piracy!
They “”accidentally“” started playing ads one night, didn’t apologize or offer any refunds, and it was the easiest decision ever to dust off my pirate hat and not look back.
No regrets!
Oops, we accidentally ripped you off, again.
Google confirms YouTube Music Issue with Premium users getting angry at their advertising injection attempt.
Lol, there should be a law that if you pay for a service advertised as ad free, they have to refund you a month of service for each ad they show you.
Consumer protection laws probably do apply. Ask for a refund and cite whatever laws apply to ‘product not as described’.
I live in the US, what are consumer protection laws?
Trump says consumer protection laws cost us money silly, we don’t need them.
Let’s not pretend that the US’ lax consumer protection laws have anything to do with Trump. The political elites have been helping the wealthy and corporations hinder those long before that dumbass ever ran for office.
I don’t know, I am going to have to call BS on the idea that Kamala Harris would have dismantled the consumer protection bureau. On the other hand the Republicans have been trying to hamper it for awhile.
I agree that ultimately corporations are going to call the shots and they wanted it gone.
Now could they please fix the blatant advertisements disguised as “Featured” bullshit? I have zero interest in football, I’ve marked it as don’t show me a billion times.
I’m sorry you’re upset at the recommendation , perhaps you could listen to something to relax and calm down. 84% of our users like you relax by listening to the following: 1.football 2.ballfoot 3.fboaoltl or if you don’t like those, have you considered soccer?
So what you’re saying is that you’ve engaged with football content a billion times.
Did Facebook’s shift to emojis teach us nothing? Engagement > Preference. You’re the product.
That’s not how it works with the rest of YouTube menus. You click the three dots, choose “not interested” and I never see those things again, including those channels. But for the YouTube Featured section it’s just a disguised ad roll. It doesn’t matter if you interact with it or not because they show it for whoever is paying them the most at that moment. Right now it’s Olympics, a few weeks ago it was Super Bowl, before that it was some games.
Don’t use Youtube if you’re going to be giving them a cent. Ublock Origin on PC works well enough, Newpipe is good for Android devices. Newpipe has every single feature that I ever had to see a Youtube premium ad for, and I’m not exaggerating in the slightest.
Is the issue that there are people paying for YouTube Premium?
The amount of people who suggest YouTube Music when asked for alternatives to Spotify is absolutely mind boggling. Legitimately feels like some people have no self-preservation skills.
YouTube music premium has gotta be like, 90% people who have YouTube premium and got music along with it.
