Meh.
Background play is a paid feature, what the actual
Maybe if they weren't so hostile towards small, original content creators doing interesting things over the usual background noise that makes it to featured content. As it stands, patreon is a better way of supporting the decent creators.

Literally a $1 a month patreon would get us more than someone with Premium watching all the videos. But Remember that if you watched 30 videos a month with ads, that'd get us maybe like 0.5p. With Premium it's more like 5p. It's a huge bump.

The pot for creators goes to ALL creators based on Premium watch time. It's a bit complex, but if you got premium and only watched Nerdcubed, that wouldn't mean we'd get £5. We'd get a amount based on your watch time and everyone else.
its all very confusing as who gets what. plus theres MCN fees and other fees to worry about too. you wont know until a few months time when they start paying people for this months views.
There's a workaround for this (on Android - tested on Nougat and Oreo),
1. Open the youtube site in Chrome
2. menu and switch to desktop version (important).
3. Start your content/playlist (I usually listen to playlists of old podcasts)
4. Lock the screen/close the cover. The content will pause, but the OS should put the media controls from the site on your lock screen, so you can just press play again and listen away. Pause/next/previous controls also work.
5. Put a tenner in your nearest charity bucket.
Yes I'm used to seeing that, it also means I tend to avoid services like that are unable to differentiate the $ and the £ symbols. Unless they're something I really want, CAT sums it up nicely though.Quote:
Just change the dollar signs for pounds and that is the offer here in the UK - yes, £1 is worth $1.32 right now but we are used to that.
The idea that £10-15 is a good price for a monthly subscription needs to die. They're acting like this is cheap, and each one looks like it is, individually. But when I look at the trends in everything from my productivity software to my consumer entertainment heading in this direction, the monthly costs would stack up to something astronomical. They stuff offers like this with other things I didn't want to make it look like a saving, but ultimately they're giving me a deal where I lose.
I opted into Brave browser's payment program, and I'm loving it. I specify the amount I want to pay every month, it gets shared among the websites I visit and Youtubers I watch, and I can even blacklist users or domains if I am already paying them in some other way. I really hope this payment system takes off.
Expensive, should be £2.99 or something.
People have been using youtube as a free music player for a long time, simply because it was free -not sure that translates to paid service at all.
How does this fit in with google already having Play Music service.. ?
I'm sure I'm in a minority (though not an inconsequential one) when I say I don't and have no intention of using either as a music service. Personally, I'm not and won't be paying anybody anything for a music service. If I want specific music, I buy it on CD and stick it on whatever device suits me.
& don't mind (if I needed one) buying a music playing app, like a modern version of WinAmp, and supplying my own music files, but a 'service'? Thanks, but no thanks.
Otherhand made the point earlier .... these subscriptions add up. I decided long ago, around the time Adobe took Photoshop service-only that I am not doing that.
Abode can stick it. MS can stick it for Office, not to mention cloud services, etc,(and Windows when they drop the other shoe) and YouTube can definitely stick it.
The only such service subscription I have is broadband, etc, and I'm even sorely tempted to tell 'em to stick that. £12 for YTPrem? Pigs might fly.
This works out as around £144 year. That is around the cost of an Amazon Prime subscription,which also includes Prime Video and Twitch Prime where you get free games and freebies,and the cost of a yearly standard Netflix subscription.
Also,regarding normal YouTube,if they want to close off music videos off with a massive paywall,it means its actually worse for many artists(especially not the big ones),since at least in my case I have had a look at bands and artists I would have never bothered to look at otherwise and bought their music. I would assume its the case for many people.
However,other alternatives like Bandcamp exist and at least the artists get more of the revenue AFAIK.
This is what I was interested in, so looks like I am much better off sticking with Patreon. NerdCubed has stated that he gets more from Patreon and Twitch now than YouTube.
That's a good point. With the Twitch Prime sub, I believe you can still support the creators you regularly watch, albeit once every few months if you are spreading it around.
I am not in the slightest bit interested in add free music videos on youtube - which this is clearly for - but I would happily pay £2-£3 a month to remove adds on the other videos I do watch/subscribe to...hell even a twitch style system where I could sub to a creator and give them a small fee to just remove adds on their own videos as there are only 2-3 people I really watch regularly.
as it stands at £11.99 a month its crazy expensive and i'll just put up with the ads.
Also Meh. Won't be paying this.
I just wanted to add that I just love how the BBC content through BBC account appears to generates Add revenue on youtube...
BBC might have ads because youtube are making it difficult for channels to choose to be ad free, see Blender foundation's problems when they refused ads:
https://www.blender.org/media-exposu...eos-worldwide/
[edit]appears youtube have now allowed them to remainad-free ... but this has been going on since December....
Google need to sort out their issues with Amazon and Microsoft first. The Amazon Fire Youtube app has been withdrawn, and I think there's still no official Youtubue Windows 10 app. So this is a very limited service, clearly targetted at Android and Google home devices. Surprise surprise.
More expensive than Netflix... I'm out.
I find it bizarre that some of the best commercial minds in the world got together, looked at their offering, looked at the market and said, "£11.99, yeah that sounds spot on, we'll definitely compete with the big boys in modern online media by charging more than them with barely any real user-end perks or promise for consistent quality content"
You want to support a creator; drop them a dollar or two via patreon, buy a product through their store, or utilise their affiliate links.
When it will be launched in Germany?
