In Sweden, YT Premium seems to start at about $9
That must be a lot more than 10x what they make on me watching ads
Probably closer to 100x
If Google decided to really crackdown on ad blockers, hard
I hope that they consider making the subscription a lot cheaper
Could probably work
I feel like YouTube Premium would yield about as much value as iCloud+
For which I’be been paying about $0.7 but they’re now increasing to $1.2
I think it's mostly their IPv6 blocks which are geolocated in weird places. So if you tried over IPv4 and result was not satisfactory, you get a second attempt for free with the IPv6 address.
Also, if you are signed into your Youtube account, it will apply the country set in your account. So the Iran recommendations only apply to Incognito browsing.
So much effort when you can just use uBlock on your desktop and New Pipe on mobile, both of which are free.
Never any ads.
If you don't pay for a product then you are the product.
Google wants to whore out those eyeballs for sweet juicy clicks.
Anyways, what’s an hour of your time worth?
For me it doesn’t make sense to waste time watching ads or endlessly fucking with temporary loopholes to avoid them.
I probably watch at least 10 hours of YouTube a month and $16 per month is less than an hour of my time. Plus, YT music on iOS/Android is actually pretty solid so it replaces Spotify or Apple Music.
Opportunity cost.
Desktop is not an issue (not mentioning the 3 video playback limit on adblockers coming soon). But mobile is soo much better using the official app and not having to worry on browsers, third party apps, ...
Brave comes with an adblocker by default, so you can use Spotify on it (for example) and get ad-free, still, the experience is way worse than using a simple proxy that costs literally $1 a month (or even cheaper)
The issue comes when you use a lot of platforms at the same time. In my case, paying for YouTube Premium, Spotify Premium (due to exclusive podcasts and way more content), Twitch Turbo comes to around $38 USD a month.
I prefer a $1 USD / month proxy to be honest. Only downside is a bit more of delay (40ms in my case)
Twitch doesn't serve stitched ads for iOS, so I have my own personal Usher proxy to get an ad-free stream regardless. I think VPN-based solutions lock the video edge to or around where the VPN server is geolocated. You don't have that problem with Workers and Deno Deploy since they employ anycast routing.

(Keep in mind AlexHost have a lot of "migrating" IPs and GeoIP is all over the place, they were nice and changed my IP for a good one, they may do it for you or not)
I've started to get British Twitch ads, despite using a Finnish proxy. I went 6-12 months without seeing a single ad.
I started getting ads yesterday too, both in Poland and Bulgaria. Don't think it happens when signed out (not yet anyway) but it does when signed in
vaft from https://github.com/pixeltris/TwitchAdSolutions seems to work well.
Client-side methods are not the same a server-side ones. Those will work for everyone until it doesn't for anyone.
Twitch is finally rolling out more changes. I've not yet been able to reproduce them, as being from Spain for some reason gives 0 ads lmao.
)seems to give ads, but not regional to the proxy location, regional to the user, so they're gathering the user country based on the account probably.
But yeah, my proxies from the US/CA seem to give ads now aswell for some reason. Proxies from every EU country (except RU
