This works fine but the main reason I personally have premium is to support the YouTubers I watch. Adblock gets rid of their revenue while premium pays them MORE than just ads do and now I don’t have to worry about it on any platform.
That is a ton of work, especially when not every YTer has Patreon or channel memberships. Afaik, YTers do appreciate Premium views since it pays way more than ads.
Smart tube, or I’ve been told a pi hole works as well. I haven’t bothered with that though, because I don’t like watching YT on TV myself. Out of the two, the pi hole is probably the better option since it works with all your devices.
I also have No ads, because I use NewPipe. There I can watch all Videos from YouTube, cccBerlin, pearTube and it is also possible to Listen to Music from Bandcamp and Soundcloud.
Unless you’re on an iPhone, setting up Revanced takes less than 10 minutes and very rarely breaks anything. If you want to support your YouTube creators, then sure pay for premium, but it baffles me how someone could have the technical prowess to set up a Lemmy account, but then balk at something like this. If anything, mobile might be one of the last frontiers now that they’re starting a war against adblock.
And here I am, getting the same thing and paying nothing because I’ve got uBlock Origin.

Premium still gives them hardly anything. Subscribing to their Patreon is better because they get all your money, minus the small fee.
True but I can afford premium. I can’t afford every single persons patreon.
They’re better off for life if you donate the money you’d spend with yt once for each, once per month. Many will have their turns.

It gives them a loot more than ad watchers though. Especially on longer videos (it’s based on watch time)
How do you run that on a smart tv?
I don’t. I just plug a pc directly to my tv.

There’s always one.

YMusic
Yes. I pay for YouTube Music for my six account family and, as a side benefit, we all get ad-free YouTube.
Not YouTube music, YMusic…
Honestly not worth the trouble on mobile

I use adblock on Firefox on my phone. Used to be fun to jailbreak and install my own apps and stuff, just getting lazier as I age I think
