    Oh dont worry I actually do pay for the “convenience” of premium and I still experience interruptions, youtube either refusing to load the video list for minutes at a time or severe buffering issues watching a stream with left leaning content, usually losing a second out of every five unless I turn the phone screen off and just listen to the audio. I’m expect it will only get shittier too

      We watch a ton of Youtube and have had premium for years. Twice now over maybe the last month, we’ve gotten errors stating “account in use at another location” or thereabouts, so we’re waiting for them to cancel the old family plan that lets us share an account with separate profiles.

      At that point she’ll probably keep the account and I’ll go the hack route to get sponsorblock, since premium only skips half the ads anyway with everyone doing promos mid video anyway.

        Fwiw with premium if you hit fast forward once during the promp theres usually a “jump ahead” button that appears that allows you to skip to the promo’s end
