I used to have an Argentinian YTP account which was ended by YT. Then I switched to YTVanced and had a great time, but I've now switched to an iPhone so have lost the option to use Vanced.
I can't seem to find any recent posts about the best way to get cheaper YTP accounts - I honestly cannot believe the cost they are charging for the Australian price! More than multiple streaming services for a family account.
and it works. Bought a 2nd hand iphone just to do this.
So can i use a mac to subscribe and then it will also work on Android?
Not sure about Mac, but I literally just did that an hour ago with an old barely working iPhone (my wife's old phone). Now I've got YT Premium in Chrome and Android YT app.
Oh whoops I only saw the single part, didn't know it was family too! Thread closed!
Yep, Apple working good for me.
Yea this is a good workaround. Under $100 for a yearly family sub.
f paying for youtube, install brave browser and you can watch all the ad free video til your hearts content. Brave browser blocks all the stupid ads on youtube and the best thing is you can switch it so to can play in bakground meaning you can lock the phone or computer and the youtube videos will still play which i have and stream to my cars bluetooth audio system… and no ads EVER! stop paying for sh17 and get Brave. TODAY!
Most people watch YouTube on mobile and televisions.
yeah like i said it works on phone, cause thats what i do, i stream it from my phone to my cars bluetooth while screen is locked. BAM
oh nice I'll give this a go - this is the exact reason why I want it, the ads while driving are killing me
@Shaddolf: just make sure you go to settings in the brave browser and set "background play" on and you are set. find the youtube videos you want to listen to before driving play and bam, ad free audio over car audio. even the car back and forward functions work for next video skip.
Brave works on phone as mentioned. For TV use smarttube.
I can't believe in 2025 we still need to promote this. It should be common knowledge by now.
But will smarttube work with Hisense (VIDAA) TVs?
Thanks, I had been putting up with ads and no background audio in the YT app since I was kicked off Indian YT Premium. Didn't even think of using Brave!
So I've been using brave but not loving the experience. I use it while driving to work and while it does work, as soon as I get a text message or similar and have car play read it to me, it seems unable to resume playing the video. So some days I get to the end of my street, play a msg from my wife and my YT playing for the rest of the drive is over.
Is there anything I can try to fix this issue?
ohh ok, i dont know as i very rarely get sms and if i do i just ijnore it til i finish driving. also my holden vf doesnt have car play so maybe that might also be the cause of your pain. sorry
Firefox + uBlockOrigin + Sponsorblock = no ads and it is free
BRAVE… no add on plug ins to work, it just does no youtube ads fresh out of the box install.
but I've now switched to an iPhone so have lost the option to use Vanced.
so switch back to android, if not then use Youtube in Brave browser
who uses iphones these days
Share a sub? I sell 2 of my spots out from my family account and it works out to be about $6 / month for a person.
Why pay at all when it can be free so easily?
I watch it on my TV, not in my browser.
So do I. Is it an android powered TV? Or do you have fire stick, Google tv etc?
@MS Paint: I have an android TV and I am sick of the price I pay to google. I already bought the TV and they keep feeding me homescreen ads I can't disable….
It has made me want an Apple TV at least they do not shove ads down your throat
Still available?
$6/mth?
geez I pay $5.50/mth for a family account in Ukraine.
I had the same thing happen and dumped premium entirely. I think it's worth the $2-$3 a month I was paying, but $10+ definitely not. Was so sick of their bullshit youtube shorts and horrible recommendations.
You have to be a die hard YT user, to pay full price. Don't ever watch movies or TV, so YT it is.
Mind you, seeing what people have to pay for Foxtel…
I use the Ghostery extension for Safari on the iphone. Works really well.
Duckduckgo windows browser, use duck player built in.. just select it when it pops up
I have been a contented youtube premium customer for yonks, but thought I'd try smarttube for a lark. It's so much better than the official app!
So I decide to cancel my NZD 12.99 subscription.
Then I change my mind and decide to resubscribe.
Now they want NZD 17.99! A $5 price increase in the blink of an eye. Bastards. Now they're not getting anything.
first one is for apple lol
