They gave me 3 months free and it was just the same broken website without ads.
Youtube is completely broken. The algorithm doesn’t even auto play undiscovered music or videos. It’s just serving me the exact same videos I already watched. It used to be a really fun and good service that was free and now you get shit and have to pay for it.
Why would anyone pay for that?
Is anyone running the company or are they all just doing drugs?
Good for the users =/= good for the shareholders
Unfortunately you need to (at least in my experience) purge the feed couple times a year. Just use "not interested" with a heavy hand and a light heart. It tends to recommend new stuff after that.
My wife and I watch certain YouTubers more then we watch TV, and use a TV to do it, so it's pretty nice not having any ads and we don't really rely on the algo at all.
If you're using a smart TV running any version of Android (Fire TV, etc.) or you're using a device that plugs into your TV that's running Android, you can use SmartTube to watch YouTube if you want.
It blocks ads, it's got SponsorBlock, and it supports casting from somewhere else (like your phone's YouTube app). It's also pretty customizable, too.
I'll check out SmartTube, tho I also rely on Yt Music quite a bit and Yt Prem comes with that as well
ReVanced supports YouTube Music on Android, and it includes the ability to block ads and enable playing music in the background, among other things.
