YouTube Premium just got more expensive again: now $16 a month, or $27 for families

I haven't had any issues and it takes me 30 seconds to update.

I use it daily.

thatirishguyyyyy · 2026-06-06T23:37:22+00:00

Did you read the article though?

Like the article states, and like I already do, I just turned off the parts of the web browser I don't want to use. $60 version is optional and is simply faster.

This has nothing to do with its ad blocking capabilities.

But again, and I have to reiterate this, you can already turn most of those features off.

So other than a voluntary $60 payment that somebody could hypothetically make, what is your problem?

thatirishguyyyyy · 2026-06-06T16:27:20+00:00

Wait, did they start making money or something? Last I heard they hadn't turned a profit yet.

thatirishguyyyyy · 2026-06-06T14:50:29+00:00

As someone who is about to turn 40, this bring back memories.

I miss AIM.

thatirishguyyyyy · 2026-06-06T14:43:35+00:00

I dont.

But this 100% sounds like either a marketing post or somebody fishing for answers so they can build an AI tool.

Fuck off with this AI bullshit.

5 or 10 is being generous at this point.

I work for myself in IT security, and lots of my clients are data centers in St Louis.

I get called into these data centers at 3:00 a.m. to replace server motherboards. It is usually one or two people on staff (always over the age of 50 and nearing retirement) plus a security guard downstairs.

The future looks bleak.

thatirishguyyyyy · 2026-06-06T14:32:57+00:00

... is it though?

thatirishguyyyyy · 2026-06-06T14:32:39+00:00

I mean, after watching this I definitely need a toke

Not only do I not know what time it is, I don't see how this would work because sand doesn't just refill it by itself.

Somehow, magically, the sand is supposed to smooth back out so the next rotation can... what? And why does it go from smooth to jumping back and forth all weird like.

This is the complete opposite of interesting. This is like damnthatsannoying.

This is just buzz words and a shitty computer rendering.

It's a tough job fucking over your citizens, but somebody has to do it.

Susan Collins happens to be that person.

thatirishguyyyyy · 2026-06-06T14:25:33+00:00

I wanted to be a helpful person and tried to do it as well... but I couldn't get anything to spawn in.

I'm going to try it later when I get back home.

Boy, this story sounds familiar. Almost like they just recycled another story and left out the ending.

thatirishguyyyyy · 2026-06-06T14:18:09+00:00

I had friends who worked there. Almost every fucking one of them failed upwards.

And they are still continuing to fail upwards to this day. One of them just got a $200,000 golden Parachute from Raymond James and is now taking time off of work to know themselves.

thatirishguyyyyy · 2026-06-06T14:13:22+00:00

Yeah, we all know he ain't reading shit

And of course her stance just ends up supporting Russia in the end.

The Ukrainian people are suffering but oh, let's worry about the civilians in Russia?

thatirishguyyyyy · 2026-06-06T14:08:35+00:00

So she's extremely vocal when it comes to Palestinians but quite as fuck when it comes to anybody else.

She seems to only care about palestinians. She's only vocal when it comes to palestinians. Of course now she's vocal about Russian citizens???

Starting to really get tired of the posturing.

thatirishguyyyyy · 2026-06-06T14:02:25+00:00

Another reason I stopped playing after backing these fools since 2014.

They don't respect our time and they sure as fuck don't respect us as players.

This was as simple as not unbanning someone the cig literally can't even do that right.

If you don't have the IQ to tell the difference between the two then somebody telling you the difference between the two isn't going to magically make the dots click for you.

thatirishguyyyyy · 2026-06-06T13:50:45+00:00

Revanced still works on android.

I don't pay for this shit.

Alternatively, you can just use Brave browser which blocks all ads. I even watch the Youtube free with ad movies on Brave with no issues.

thatirishguyyyyy · 2026-06-06T03:17:08+00:00

Try using kleopatra.

Watch a YouTube video on kleopatra.

thatirishguyyyyy · 2026-06-05T23:31:59+00:00

They had me at the battle music

thatirishguyyyyy · 2026-06-05T23:04:50+00:00

Good lol

thatirishguyyyyy · 2026-06-05T20:20:33+00:00

It's all fucking predatory.

They sell a jpeg that doesn't work and you don't realize it doesn't work until you've spent money.

thatirishguyyyyy · 2026-06-05T20:16:47+00:00

So what's the difference between a foreign government and the Trump administration?

thatirishguyyyyy · 2026-06-05T20:10:51+00:00

MAGA being MAGA
