This ad just popped up and it should be more infuriating than just mildly, But it’s more of Google being Google. How many different tiers of YouTube are there now so Alphabet can skim off slightly higher margins from each user possible? Premium LITE? Really? And I am just tickled by the fact that the main perk is not that it removes ads but that there will be slightly less of them. “Pay us to watch ads” Is the new corporate standard.
Until Google locks Android down.
Corporate American sounds like an abusive ex
Yeah, the government won’t let us have our own property though so not really an ex
that’s the neat part, they already are!
Who talks about mobile?
Then get iOS and run yt plus. Quite literally iOS users CAN still run adless youtube even though it’s a bit of a hack (refresh every 7 days via SideStore app on your phone unless you have a dev membership)
Or the better solution if you care about privacy and freedom over convenience, get an Android phone with an openable bootloader. Preferably one that’s not a Pixel.
My next phone will be a Fairphone, but I’m not made of money so I’m stuck with my Samsung atm.
Im on the verge of getting a new phone, any you can recommend?
Haven’t kept up with the Android ecosystem after moving to iOS. I hear GrapheneOS is working with Motorola to support an upcoming phone of theirs if you’re privacy minded (GrapheneOS) and don’t want a Pixel (only device it currently runs on)
GrapheneOS, Iodé and /e/OS should be unaffected if you want open Android
it genuinely makes me a bit angry that y’all never mention lineage, why are you ignoring by far the most normalized and usable android distribution??
