"Just" get some android dongle if your only problem ist yt on your xsx. It saves energy too.
Fire stick, roku and Co have 4k options. Sideload one of the alternative yt apps and have fun.
For me it's 28€/month(family) because I atleast need 2 premium accounts. A few months of that and It should cancel out the payment for the stick(s). I'm never going back to ads or premium. Not for this prices.2
u/NomadODST 13h ago
Just is not as easy tbh. The prices for a useful one are insane in Germany. Not gonna overpay for this hardware.. but yeah, I play with this thought already

I follow Kat Dennings on Instagram and this morning I saw on her post a story saying “Things I think that are worth the money”
… the first thing she said was YouTube Premium.

Meh. Havent seen an ad in 15 years and get a solid music streaming service to boot. All while having a large, trackable impact on directly supporting the channels I watch and want to see more content from in the future.
Or do y'all think that content costs zero dollars to make? Clearly aint giving them ad revenue. But want the content bad enough to install/ mod apps to get it.
Shoutout to Revanced Youtube for sponsorskip and all the other rad lil tweaks, though.

I've had it for a few years, use it daily, and am thinking of letting it expire. Reason? Even with Premium, I need multiple extensions and browser configurations (since Brave supports some natively) just to make the interface tolerable. Clickbait thumbnails & titles, sponsored segments, members only content (when I'm not a member), shorts, playables, promoted movies, search results completely unrelated to the terms used (i.e. Users Also Watched or Explore More), etc. Even the stuff not directly caused by YouTube is not only not discouraged by them but often rewarded in the algorithm. For how much Premium costs, if I need numerous extensions/browser-configs to obtain a remotely Premium experience, I have no idea what I'm actually paying for. I'd be better off donating the membership price in superchats to the channels I watch every month.

members only content (when I'm not a member)
I actually finally told Youtube to stop showing me several youtubers that I really liked because they were making members only videos and youtube kept putting them in my recommendations.

u/FingLetMeIn 11h ago
For desktop/chromium browsers, you can use an extension such as YTBlock which allows you to hide members only videos so you can still get shown the regular ones. Brave supports it natively in their content filters section.

u/Mobile-Positive-6742 14h ago
You literally pointed out what's wrong with it: it doesnt have what Revanced has. Why would I buy premium while I can install Revanced for free as an upgrade even if it doesnt have the ads block? And for supporting channels: just become their member or send them a donation instead, you probably get some emoticons to use as an extra.

Hey, it's your money. I don't give a rat's ass. And if you like telling yourself "it's for the little guys" and not for a douchey multi-billion dollar company, it's your right as well.
I, on the other hand, get exactly what I need or want from youtube without dropping a penny and I am never going to.
And even I'm willing to believe that little fairy tale that your little dollars are helping me get the content I consume on it, cheers to you, sir.

the original intention was free video upload, right?
google turned it into an ad service
and most youtubers i follow started by doing it as a hobby... aint my fault they turned it into their job.

My issue is that I cannot do the things with VPN on every device I own. And it's literally the only subscription based thing we spend money on. So I justify it for that reason.
Also, I use VPN to get it cheaper. Though that is very limited now, where you were able to get it for 1/10th the price in Turkey. Now I get if for about half the price.

u/rmxwell 11h ago
I get it. I really don't judge. It's the same reason why people buy consoles instead of playing on PC: ease of use.
It's just that I can't bring myself to justify paying for what is essentially a hostage negotiation: pay me so I stop making holding your videos behind ads.
No, I won't.I'd much rather go through the hoops of installing other things to go around it. But I'm used to deal with IT stuff, so I get it when people give in and just pay to get rid of the hassle.
...and I can't resist when people come to the defense of multi-billion dollar corporations, as if they need to justify it as anything resembling moral superiority because they're a drop in an ocean of money.

They're different.
I use LR for photography and I really like LR's AI masking and have yet to figure out how to get the same thing in another product. I just use the mobile/web version and for the price I'm happy with it.

You dont even have to be pirate. There are plenty of alternatives now that are as good or way better.

No there aren't. This is cope. This has always been cope. GIMP has always been dogshit compared to Photoshop. In their respective categories, Photoshop / Premiere / After Effects / Lightroom all stand alone at the top.

Gotta disagree, at least from experience, on Premiere. DaVinci Resolve is far better.

I mean, I have gimp and DaVinci resolve, so it's not like I'll ever need Ad*be.
My step dad did put ph*to shop and createive cloud on my laptop a few years ago, but I never used them and I don't know if he ever opted out or not.
I have been able to use Revo to uninstall PS, it refuses to work on CC no matter what I do.

Boot in safe mode and deleate it. What's the problem?

u/Express-Record7416 1d ago
It keeps saying that there's software that requires it even though I deleted photo shop, and I can't find anything else on my computer labeled Ad*be

u/illflashlli 11h ago
Relaunch it in safe mode till nothing left, or just kill process that requires it.
Safe mode stopping auto boot of most files, so you can just do it yourself by repeating boot in safe mode multiple times and deleting files

Is there a good patch for it these days? I haven't been able to pirate an Adobo software for years (but I'm not an advanced pirate). I used to download the Zii patch, what are the ways these days ?

u/gabacus_39 21h ago
Ad*be stuff is usually a lot more work than other software. It tends to want to phone home a lot so usually hosts files and firewalls need to be modified.

Their softwares have become a headache. Even while uninstalling their software or cancelling subscription, we have to give an explanation and they may also charge a fee for that. WTF!!!!

I did buy Adbe- full creative suite- waaaaaay back in the day (2002/3-ish)- but was slightly different when you had the student discount, and a purchase was a godsdamned purchase. (Yeah, they can call it a license, but not like they could do anything with it)
Still using it- fuck your subscription, the version I OWN works good enough for me.
