I actually paid for Reddit Premium about as long as I remember it being around. I cancelled the instant they announced the intent to paywall and censor the API.
I’m generally fine with paying for services I use and enjoy, if I consider the price reasonable. I spent a lot of time on Reddit and considered it reasonable for avoiding ads.
They’ll never see a cent from me again, not from ad revenue or otherwise. I blocked Reddit’s URLs on my PiHole just to be sure.
I also got YouTube premium, felt a bit rude to spend tens of thousands of hours without paying a cent.
My main issue is demonitising the videos also stops premium revenue, which is a bit dumb. Like sure I get removing ad revenues, but if I’m a paying customer and want a share of my cost to go to whoever I’m watching, it should just do that.
There was a workaround to signuo for YouTube premium using a VPN to turkey. It makes it $3 a month. Maybe it’s 5 now with the price hike, idk. Not sure if it still works or not though

Where can I find a list of all Reddit URLs? I’m hosts blocking them on my laptop (since I also use it outside my home network).
if you block reddit.com and redd.it
you’ll be fiine
I subscribed to Youtube Premium because of how much I actually use it in my day to day life.
But, it’s the only regular subscription I have, but only because I use it across multiple platforms and away from home.
But the price hike they just announced is unjustified, especially when they KEEP TAKING DOWN MY FAVORITE CREATORS VIDEOS. Poor Speedo and David Firth.

Thanks, I didn’t know YT Vanced was being continued
UYouPlus + AltStore exists for apple users as a Vanced like app too. Works without a jailbreak as well.
Though it is a bit of a mess around because apple.

This is why I’ll never pay for Premium, but I’ll cheerfully join a creator’s Patreon or other direct subscription if I really enjoy their channel.
