tahirmehmoodkhokhar Posted Friday at 12:27 Share Posted Friday at 12:27 Hey everyone, I’ve been browsing a lot of 0 A.D. gameplay videos, tutorials, and mod showcases on YouTube lately, and I keep getting mixed opinions about YouTube Premium. I’m wondering if anyone here actually uses it while watching gaming-related content. Is it worth it just for a smoother experience (no ads, background play, offline downloads), especially when you’re watching long strategy breakdowns or testing different mods? Also curious if creators you follow in the RTS / strategy game space actually benefit from it in a noticeable way, or if it’s more of a convenience thing for viewers. Would love to hear real experiences from people here who regularly watch gaming content on YouTube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perzival12 Posted Friday at 16:43 Share Posted Friday at 16:43 I wouldn’t pay for YouTube, since they already make so much money iff of data farming viewers, they don’t deserve more for an experience that the user should already have. And sitting through a 5 second add before I watch a video doesn’t change the experience much for me. And if you want to download videos, there are hundreds of downloaders you can use (both apps and browsers) that allow you to download videos for free.

ittihat_ve_terakki Posted Friday at 17:00 Share Posted Friday at 17:00 Personally I’d definitely recommend YouTube Premium. It’s not a big expense but it really improves the experience. If you watch a lot of YouTube, especially long documentaries like I do, ads can get pretty annoying. Sometimes even popping up every few minutes and they break your focus. Falling asleep to documentaries about ancient civilizations can lead to some interesting dreams as well. What I also like is background playback, so you can turn off your phone and keep listening.

Deicide4u Posted 22 hours ago Share Posted 22 hours ago (edited) No, it doesn't. YouTube already has a lot of money, they don't need more. I think what they did with streaming services and SAS in general should be prosecuted, and everyone involved with this world-dide extortion scheme thrown in jail. Not just in YouTube, but in every major streaming giant. Edited 22 hours ago by Deicide4u 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DesertRose Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago (edited) What does Premium offer that uBlock does not? Also with uBlock you do not need to log in to get its benefits. Edited 57 minutes ago by DesertRose 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atrik Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago 53 minutes ago, DesertRose said: What does Premium offer that uBlock does not? Commercial web browsers auto-uninstall ad blockers now. Or flat out prevent you to install any because they are obviously dangerous security threats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
