I get 'bruh', which I don't mind as it makes me feel like one of the Fast familia.

Yep, that one too. I actually can't remember the last time they called me Dad ?

My magic YouTube has stopped working.
 

About three years ago, I noticed that I hadn’t seen a single ad in a bit. I watch a lot of YT, so the most logical explanation was that I was pissed up in the early hours and signed up to premium, but had completely forgotten. Not the case, so stumped, I soldiered on ad-free. I did get some ads last December, but they vanished after a day and so on I went again. Haven’t a clue why this happened, not that I was complaining of course. I watch on my virgin box, so there’s no ad-blockers running or anything like that.

I’ve currently got it on in the telly in the background. The smallest of minor annoyances, but Jesus Christ, the frequency of the ads is insufferable. Genuinely thinking of signing up to get rid of them again, poor little lamb. Oh well, three years or thereabouts is a good run of free premium.

There is a way if on a TV, that when the ad comes up you can skip it, as my 11yo showed me. 

It comes up, you press up to the i (information ad) then you'll see this 20241214_105008.thumb.jpg.7c5c99104a827fa25ddda3873f788f33.jpg

click STOP SEEING THIS AD then

Doesn't work on all of them, but the majority it does.

Don't say I never do anything for you lot.

Speaking of ads, I recently signed up to ITVX Premium for 2 quid a month. Before the show starts, they show an advert for one of their own TV shows with no option to skip, which I dont think any other premium service does. During a 20 minute show they will chuck another one in at the halfway point too, which you also cant skip. Very annoying considering youre on the premium plan.

Amazon does this too. I believe NowTV/Sky did when we watched The Sopranos on it. Thoroughly annoying.

Signed up to a free trial of Prime recently to find they’re now charging an extra £4 to remove the ads, on top of the £7.99 per month or whatever it is. Get to fuck.

Jim Cornette's channel can be insufferable with the frequency  of adverts.

There is a playing YouTube in Teams with no ads feature, but I'm not pointing it out to people in case their work IT grasses them up for watching YouTube 24/7 on work gear and you're all out of a job right before Christmas.  I don't need that on my conscience.
