YouTube premium is literally better than sliced bread

[Lindsay]

It’s wierd that Leo just recently promoted YouTube premium. I finally gave in and paid for youtube for the first time at the beginning of the pandemic and I will never go back to ads. I whole heartily agree with Leo on that. I’m a long time fan of YouTube. YouTube replaced tv for me starting in 2008. I was stubborn when youtube wanted me to pay for something that used to be free. I had the fuck them attitude. Net neutrality used to really scare me because I feared the internet would be censored and bought and sold and become more corporate and generic like how tv is now. At least youtube is one positive example that came out of that. I’m more willing to sit through a 2 hour lecture without ads than with ads. Ads kill my attention span with annoyance. Kinda drives the idea that corporations and the elites know exactly what they were doing from  the very beginning. YouTube helped me meet actualized.org. And actualized .org pointed me to Noam Chomsky. I’m waiting for my copy of “manufacturing consent” in the mail as I type this. I was told by my catholic client that Noam Chomsky is a communist. I’m no longer afraid of communism. Like George Carlin said, “it’s the American Dream because you got to be asleep to believe it.” The elites in power are manipulative, they want us to buy into the illusion of freedom. Soft power. Wage slavery. Neoliberal capitalism. Elites with a stage red shadow and a stage orange persona. Who funded the no child left behind act? Inner city public schools fail those stage blue ACT testing. To make the kids feel like they failed or are dumb. Liberal high schools taught me critical thinking instead of passing tests. My low act score made me feel like a failure. What a brilliant ploy to control the flow of ideas. Luckily the older generation Is slow to catch on. The old generation that was for censorship couldn’t censor the internet in time to prevent the spread of ideas. We need to protect our internet from censorship. It was evident during the mark Zuckerberg trialsthat Congress didn’t understand the concept of the internet. You can tell by just listening to the questions they asked. We Can’t assume everyone has common sense. What is common sense? What is common for you At stage blue is different than what’s common sense at stage green. Time to wake everyone up. Time to wake cancel culture up. They probably have a lower stage shadow and a stage green persona. Time to speak to their shadow and get them to integrate the stages they demonize because they themselves resent other people at their repressed stage. “If I cant be a white bigget cuz my society humiliated me for it, than No one with white privilege should get away with it. Shame on them for not knowing bigotry is wrong”

Low test scores means cut funding to those schools. That’s just wrong. Test the kids on big picture ideas. Not to just select the best choice answer. I mean it helps but idk. I think we need to pay attention to Nancy Devos.

Or maybe I’m assuming other inner city students are like me?  ? Idk anymore. I need more time to think it through. It’s funny how we fear China. It’s because China is doing exactly what the United States did. Jordan Peterson is useful in that way. He’s the reason I was able to integrate stage blue ideas. 
 

It’s amazing how spiral dynamics gave me a map to organize ideas. It’s like the skeleton and we just have to buy into it and use it to integrate society. The meat is everything you observe in society. And if your society is not diverse than observe the comment sections online.

I would always think about that question! It’s a brilliant question. How is it that I can’t get all my thoughts on paper. And at the same time I can’t understand how other people don’t have inner dialogue. What does it mean to have no inner dialogues ? Cuz I’m constantly talking to myself.

If you pay google, google will have money to pay their intellectual or creative content on YouTube. You don’t want to create the starving artist archetype. If you want passionate creators to devote their heart and soul to the quality of the content its important that they get there basic needs met. Juggling a dead end job and your hobby is hard enough.

does it work on iPhone? As a cna I havnt needed or used a real desk top or laptop since high school 10 years ago. I just brows youtube on my Xbox or my iPhone. I don’t think they have Adblock. 

[Roy]

People do realize they can block 98% of all ads on the internet with Adblock right?

Why give more money to a company that is getting dangerously powerful?

[seriousman24]

@datamonster Don't worry they have infinite money anyway.

[Chumbimba]

Especially if you're a student  5.99

Heres a tip for everyone if you want youtube premium, sign up to a vpn, even if its just a trial, set the vpn to India, sign up to youtube premium on the indian site, if you do this youll get it for about $3 a month for the family account, which means you can add people to it as well (they will have to have a vpn as well). After youve signed up through the vpn you dont have to use it again, ive been paying £2 a month for over a year now

[Leo Gura]

@Consept That's some grade-A devilry.

 You gonna try it? 

[Extreme Z7]

I just don't use adblock. (on YouTube anyway)

And YouTube Premium does not allow you to download video files to your hard drive so what's the point.
Use FDM (Free Download Manager) for that, it works for most videos. Sometimes it doesn't when it comes to really old, usually pre-2010, videos.

But even then, I don't download most videos. I only do when I want an audio clip I want to play around with.

Edit: SPEAKING OF WHICH. . . FDM supports downloading only the video's audio file. Checkmate @Leo Gura, lol!

Nope

When you act like a devil, don't be shocked when others act like devils to you.

I've been using Youtube Premium for two years (used to be called Youtube Red), and I highly recommend it as well. 

No ads, and they give you a free music app (Youtube Music) to listen to all the music you want, with the ability to create playlists, switch between video & audio versions on the fly, download music for off-line use, etc. 

I couldn't imagine doing Youtube with ads again. What a nightmare. 

[DnoReally]

If its just for the ads and keeping it playing even when closed, you can just get youtube vanced (on android).

* a little Joke, or?

Aha finally found one person of many that are the reason to why i have to buy premium for a price around 12$?

I can sleep at night and not worried for that skynet will hunt me or sue me long time forever.

Curious about what can google do to you, if they detect you and read your post here and have evidence, if the google sale department are on the hunt for "cheaters"?
