That’s true, I used to get a tiny payment from them, better than nothing. It inspired me to create more. The suddenly all monetisation was removed unless you have huge new constant subscribers . It made me not bother making hardware synth reviews. YouTube still places ads on my vids, but pay themselves /Google the monetisation. It’s a punch in the nuts for niche creators. Brill for gaming bloggers though who scream at minecraft etc
on desktop ublock origin blocks YouTube ads just fine.
Oh, so you've yet to experience an hour long advert/talk? They're the best
If it was one 30-second advert, no problem. But I usually find what seems to be two YT placed ads on top of those the creator places. One woman I watch can often place adverts every 5-6 minutes on a 30-minute video. Some of those ads run much longer, and many are inappropriate for and against the ethos and content of the channel (Clearly, not her choice).
And again, there was the advert in the middle of a song.
I'm watching less and less, these days anyway. So it's only tutorials that I'll have to keep on top of.
TL,DR:
There’s literally dozens if not hundreds of ways to block YouTube ads if you’re watching in a browser, but there’s nothing out there except paying Google if you use the app.
There’s several that do it in the browser and some separate YouTube client apps that do it as well.
I understand there are other platforms such as Rumble, which reportedly offer a better deal for video creators, but with YouTube no one is forced to use them or watch them, but they still have to make a profit, like any business.
Youtube made close to 30 Billion dollars in ad revenue in 2021. That I even gave the concession that they take 20% of the subscription money is being generous, but is an acknowledgment that they're the business that needs the profit.
You're right that nobody is forced to use or watch. However, without that they cease to exist. They're no longer offering this as a service, as you acknowledge. They're in the same exploitation as most other companies (This became evident when they decided to place adverts on channels that hadn't yet qualified to be monetised). It's a shame that they're just gonna get away with it. But it's the same shit, just with a different company.
Anyway, that's my rant over. Can you see anything wrong with my method for personal avoidance?
Sometimes video/podcast/vodcast creators also have their own web sites using embedded videos, but let's face it... they almost all use YouTube because it's "free" for them. The tradeoff in that arrangement are tons of interrupting ads.
Am I the only one that get a skip button after 5 to 10 second of ads? I can survive for 5 second to get back to my video.
Some videos, I do too, yes. However, not all YouTube ads provide that option.
Just to be clear here: I need an ad blocker for only some videos. A specific use case. I really do require that they’re not interrupted at all. Any other time, any other videos, I’m fine with a few ads, and will allow them where it seems right to do so. Which is also my policy for websites in general. Yes, I do realise that there might be legitimate cases for income via advertising.
And no, I really do not need YouTube Premium. See above.
So, while people are of course free to assume whatever they want to, and no doubt will anyway, I do hope that makes it clear that I’m not about ripping off innocent creators (?), “getting away with” anything at all, or .. anything else nefarious or untoward.
Thanks, y’all.
Since it is YouTube which provides that easy way out of most of the ads, it's what I use. If there was no option to do this, I might instead have chosen to not use the site at all. But since the "Skip" is provided by YouTube, I use it.
Five seconds to skip at the beginning is fine. Five seconds every five minutes in a video is, for me, really annoying. And five seconds, 20 seconds into a song is obnoxious!
There is no ads so far when watching youtube videos in AUM true the new Tube Audio Unit app (not speaking of Tube AU)
I think your sentiment is very punk rock. Fuck the system attitude is something I will never outgrow. Does anyone listen to my music on Bandcamp? No. Nobody. But I get views on YouTube, and so I won't take down my 14 years of music posts, including stuff I no longer have the masters for.
But I have lost my shit multiple times when YouTube forced ads on my videos that I cannot get compensated for cause I don't have enough subscribers, and some of those ads were for anti-trans documentaries, military recruitment, and blatantly false and misleading medical "cures".
I will say though, you have my blessing to use ad blockers all over my music on YouTube 😉 I always wanted my stuff on YouTube to be ad free, and it was for over a decade. But (puts on curly white wig), terms of service are subject to change at any time (bangs gavel excitedly), and the YouTube gods forbid it.
