If you have a YouTube Premium or YouTube Music paid account, it’ll need to be used by people in your household so as not to get flagged.
Is it based on ip address? What about when everyone in the household is using their own mobile data?
“YouTube would like access to your location.”
What’s next, account suspension and 15 lashes every time you tell someone about a video you watched on youtube without paying Google?
This is what happens when you keep paying for bullshit “services”. They keep pushing and pushing… in the end you wont get shit for your money.
If I cared about YouTube Premium and sharing it across addresses I’d probably just tunnel into the payer’s network.
I would cancel the plan. And use whatever ad block is at my disposal.
Yeah I’ve got Google’s servers and thousands of domains completely blocked on the layered VPN tunnels I call my network. I don’t care about YouTube in the slightest, and I pay for whatever I actually want to stream.
Cool im hearing that im setting my parents up with wireshark
I love Wireshark but they don’t deserve to suffer. What have they done?
Birthing me was a big one.
Isn’t Wireshark just a packet sniffer? What exactly does that resolve for this situation?
I meant wirguard. Urgh sorry! My brain always mixes those two for some reason.
I watch it using GrayJay app from one and only Louis Rossmann because fuck them
Because fuck truck drivers, commercial fishermen, pilots, traveling salesmen, and all those other people who routinely spend weeks or months away from home, and still wind up with a few hours a week of free time to watch streams.
Enshitification is just so annoying and tiring.
I had them cram it with walnuts when they nearly tripled the price of it. Brave browser gets me 90% of the features with 0% of the effort or cost. Just can’t download. No worries.
And 100% of the referrer-hijacking. 🤣
I get that it’s a neat browser, but I don’t understand how people can continue supporting it after such blatant disregard for user agency.
Wasn’t aware of that. Good to know. Youtube is the solitary thing I use it for and I don’t navigate outside the site for merch/product links, but that is some scummy Honey nonsense right there.
Time to look around for an alternative. Thanks!
Idk about the alt browser but for downloading there’s ytdl on pc and ytdlnis on android.
FML I’m going to have to get my own premium now
Or start using Ublock origin
I mean, I do, I just also like YouTube music 😅
Or not. Just pirate or use Firefox
I do use Firefox. What sort of alternative for YouTube music would you recommend? I only use it (YTmusic) because I have YT premium, and why pay for another subscription for Spotify/ apple music (those may sound better but I am HoH so that doesn’t affect me)
I don’t have a good recommendation because I haven’t dug super deep into alternatives that don’t suck but I will say that for music there are plenty of non Google alternatives. I pay for SoundCloud myself. I don’t know if it’s much better for privacy. I do know they don’t still advertise at me like Spotify does
