YouTube TV, which costs $73 a month, agrees to end “$600 less than cable” ads::Google to “modify or cease” ads after industry review board rejects appeal.
People pay for watching YouTube ? Lol why don’t they use Firefox and ublock origin ? Or smartnext tube for android TV?, I will never understand human beings.
It’s YouTube TV, which is a streaming version of cable. It’s live channels.
Ah sorry. I don’t watch too many shows and sports, most news channels are already live on YouTube.
Sure, work arounds exist but they require varying degrees of technical competence to use them. A lot of people simply aren’t comfortable doing so even when relatively straight forward guides are available. Plus, when it comes to piracy or even “grey area” solutions, some people just don’t want to “risk” it. Just because a solution exists doesn’t mean people shouldn’t be pissed off that the legal means to enjoy content they want are being priced out of their reach.
Having said all of that, this article isn’t about YouTube or even YouTube Premium. It’s about YouTube TV, which is their cable alternative. Firefox, uBlock Origin, and SmartTubeNext aren’t relevant to the discussion.
Lots of people are proud to pay for things they could be getting for free.
We call them useful idiots where I’m from.

Now that YouTube has started to block adblockers, pretty soon they’ll try to block SmartTube and NewPipe as well.
