I’ve only subscribed to YouTube Premium for the past two months, and I like the ad-free experience and Music streaming bundled in one price, PHP159 or $3/month. Will this probably my last? Yesterday morning, Google automatically charged me for my YouTube Premium subscription through my e-wallet service.

It was successfully deducted, but the service didn’t update its validity. Does Google want me to charge twice, or they want me to go back on uBlock Origin on Librewolf (desktop) and NewPipe on Android? lol

EDIT (2023-10-22): Google recently refunded the amount to my e-wallet. So far, my account is still active. If ever Google bans my account, then probably my domain will be banned.

    I primarily use iOS to watch YouTube. I haven’t found good solutions.

    It’s the media platform I use the most. With Premium, I’m evenly supporting at least 50 creators that I watch regularly. I couldn’t meaningfully do that for the same price through Patreon.

      The best solution I’ve found for the YouTube shenanigans on iOS is the baking soda and vinegar apps.

      Sideload uYou plus with Altstore if you want to keep all the account functionality.

      Download Yattee from the App store if you prefer to watch with Piped.

      I have had success from both Safari with AdGuard and from Brave browser blocking Youtube ads on iOS. Currently using Brave with no issues.
