Sceenshot showing youtube premium family plan price increased from SGD17.98 to SGD27.98

Cant believe they are increasing the prices this much in one go, gonna be going back to adblockers.

    I’m surprised more people aren’t using uBlock Origin. It’s an absolute necessity for browsing the web anymore.

        I honestly think it’ seven more important to have an adblock on a phone.

        The amount of pages that on mobile are an advert covering the top half, and a give us your data prompt at the bottom seems to be nearly everything these days. At least on a monitor there’s room for the content.

          For which mobile and what extensions manager?

          I’m blocking ads phone-wide, I just don’t use uBlock Origin for that on the phone.

            Firefox for Android has uBlock Origin (and lots of other useful extensions). You do need to set Firefox as the default app for YouTube links, but after that it works perfectly.

              I use NewPipe for Youtube, there are no ads at all.

              I use AdGuard for blocking ads phone-wide and if I hadn’t, Vivaldi has a built-in adblocker too.

              Bottom line is I don’t see any ads without using uBlock Origin. Original commenter is “surprised more people aren’t using” it like it’s the only way to go, while in reality it usable only in certain scenarios. It’s best for PC but not for mobile.
