    i think youtube has tried to get me to do a premium trial like 1000x.
    some people say it's good for playing music.

    I've had YouTube Premium for a little while. I do think it's good for music, though I also like to browse & watch videos on YouTube sometimes, and it's nice to not have them interrupted with ads.

    Youtubes Ad frequency and length has become unbearable.
    i now have ad-free youtube everywhere. Smarttube on FireTV, Revanced App Versions on Android and Brave Browser on Desktop (Linux Mint). And in case one wants to download Youtube Videos, yt-dlp on desktop or seal on android.

    Youtubes Ad frequency and length has become unbearable.

    And, they can tell if you have an ad blocker installed. If they
    detect that (and you're not paying at least $15 a month for the
    YouTube Premium), they block your IP address.

    I've noticed various browser extensions have add-ons to block
    the YouTube deal, but it's frustrating having to watch an ad for
    10 seconds...then not 2 minutes later, here's another ad. At least
    they can't stop you from muting the audio for it.
