I used to with vanced because I wanted background play. Originally I pirated because I didn’t agree with PAYING for a feature that is free on desktop and was free on mobile until Google deliberately disabled it. Then Vanced stopped working because, you know, and revanced just didn’t work for me. Revanced worked for boost for reddit after, well, you know, but not YouTube. So I actually eventually I started paying to have no ads and it turns out the other features like the not-really-sponsorblock and queuing are pretty useful. And I don’t use Netflix or the others (I don’t watch TV) so being a YouTube power user justified paying. I don’t mind paying. But if they do show ads (I read the context) on standard premium I’m not paying.
Oh hell no, not after they started raising prices in other countries. I don’t want to pirate again.
All you have to do is install Ublock…
I’m amazed it still works that well to be honest. Have it on Firefox on my phone as well 👌🏼
Who tf pirates YouTube
