As those heartless clowns at YT do not allow ad blockers like uBlock Origin. They have restricted me into watching videos (especially from my YT subsctibers) unless I whitelist it or disable my ad blocker or pay £12 a month to go with YT Premium. Twelve pounds is way too much and it is daylight robbery Google. This isn't the YouTube and Google I remember, as a tech savvy myself. I wanted to watch videos in piece with uBlock Origin without being bombarded with ads every 1 minute, including ones that are over an hour and some can be unskippable.

If only Sitejabber has a no stars option, YT deserve no stars. Although YT Premium (formerly called YT Red) tried to compete with Netlfix and APV, they failed miserably.

I've been on YouTube since 2005, and this was back when it was a community-ran website which enabled you to 'Broadcast Yourself' (which was what YouTube meant in the first place) with no ads at the start of videos and they can upload anything they want. These days they don't care what you think of what this website is, either a streaming service, music service, gaming livestreams which don't make sense namewise. And with age-restricted videos, they wanted your passport and credit card information, treating it like a club or a bar. Infact, you also removed the dislike count and disabling comments on videos that were 'made for kids' as YouTube wasn't even made for little ones in the first place.

The fact is, I have another add-on called 'Violentmonkey' which I have enabled the script to remove anti-ad blocker prompts, and it never worked.

I am permanently leaving YouTube forever, my YT channel *******@CSSTPMedia which would be closing down next year.

They completely abolished password sharing and my sister is paying for it, and when I go on it it says that the TV isn't part of the household.

After three attempts at entering codes in, they decided to restrict me into using Netlfix. I'm not sad that this happened to me, the reason why I gave up on Netflix is that there's nothing good to watch anymore. Their web shows 'billed as Netflix Originals' but made by independents, they decided not to recommission most of 'em in the Top 10 which was putting subscribers off.

I'm a physical media collector and I much prefer that over streaming services. The only thing I like about physical media is that I can watch a movie from my expansive Blu-Ray collection.

I have one Dreamworks webtoon series that Netflix commissioned on DVD called 'Trolls: The Beat Goes On! Series One' and also a Netflix original film, 'The Mitchells vs the Machines' on Blu-Ray.

If I have a Netflix original animated movie on Blu-Ray, I can watch it all the way through without the annoying 'suggestions' overlay during the credits, even if it's graphical credits it still triggers the overlay graphic, which meant I had to fish out the remote and press the arrow keys to highlight 'Watch Credits'. Even if Netflix thinks that 'credits on movies and TV programmes are bad' they're not, I like to respect the filmmakers. And on their originals, they even have credits.

Goodbye Netflix, I hope to see you fail.

Like what Netflix did with their password sharing crackdown which made them dosh-hungry dimwits. Disney+ is doing the same. I liked the streaming platform three years ago and now in 2023, they started becoming more costly than ever before, hiking up subscription prices and a limit of four devices ands also introducing ad-supported tiers.

Since Disney+ launched, they allowed account sharing, and now they're cracking down on it. With the Disney Company in financial trouble, they began to lose subscribers. My streaming days are over, I'm sticking to Blu-Ray for Disney films.

Disney's The Little Mermaid live action remake and Disney/Pixar's Elemental are both on here, I'm not watching them on Disney+! I'm getting the Blu-Ray counterparts of them and they're a one-time purchase for life. Not a monthly subscription.

There's also removed content like one Simpsons episode from the third series is missing (i.e. Stark Raving Dad) and a missing Family Guy episode (i.e. Partial Terms of Endearment) these won't be seen on Disney+ and I have them both on DVD sets. Physical media is more preferable over streaming.

Don't waste your money on this, they're a miserable streaming service on earth.
