So this is some bollocks. Guess I'll be cancelling our plan since it's only used by two of us.

Current price $17.99/month, new price $32.99/month.

If they boiled the frog better I would probably have accepted a $5/month price rise, and then another later... But close to doubling in one go is a no from me dawg.

Thank you for being a loyal member throughout our journey. We created YouTube Premium so that you could enjoy all the videos and music you love without interruptions.‌

To continue delivering great service and features, we are increasing the YouTube Premium family plan price to A$32.99/month. We don't make these decisions lightly, and this update will allow us to continue to improve YouTube Premium and support the creators and artists you watch on YouTube. This is the first ever price increase for your subscription.

Revanced project, smart YouTubeTV and/or Smart YouTubeNext, ublock origin, and xManager for Spotify.

I have an android phone and an android TV so I see no ads. However I have an iPad which I take away and the ads make me sad.

Is there any way to adblock YouTube on an iPad?

You can install Firefox on iOS, and install ublock origin

Edit: apparently not

[–] dorron 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

You cannot

Firefox on iOS is just a reskinned safari, extensions are a no

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

oh damn, didn't know that. I just knew that Firefox was installable on iOS, and extensions work great on Android, so I'd assume it'd be the same. But you're right, apple locks browsers into using WebKit. That sucks

Safari has the hyperweb extension that does a pretty good job for me!

Edit: hyperweb does a bunch of stuff, eliminating youtube ads is only a fraction of this extension

Piped frontend via the browser

Late, but maybe nextdns. I haven't actually tried with YouTube on an iPhone/ipad, but I know they integrate pretty easily on Apple devices. Fairly customizable too with a free tier, just need to make a profile.

Won't block YouTube ads.

Hadn't heard of x manager, thank you! Super giddy right now, I've been using modded versions of the apk for years but a few months ago my go-to stopped working and haven't found a viable replacement until now. Really godda give them props I'm super surprised at how easy that was lol

Also I'd used revanced but quit when the original got buggy. With how crappy their ads have gotten now I'm going to give the new version a shot thanks for mentioning that as well
