How is this an ad? They are informing you that you can get more out of your subscription. Would it be better that they’re didn’t inform you about this and hid it away in some obscure menu somewhere?
There are lots of reasons to not like Google/YouTube, but I can’t see how this is one of them.
Edit: There is also a clearly visible dismiss button.
Manufacturers like Samsung and Motorola have their own version of the app in the play store, without disclosing it. Unless you have a custom phone or got lucky you might not be stock
3mo gamepass, 6mo walmart shit (you can use their gas pumps and get free deliveries), download videos and some AI features about videos and comments. A friend on my account is trying to get the AI to interact with him on gun and explosive videos. Knowing him he may see how it responds to racists and cumtown as well.
I have all 5 family slots full and also pay $2/mo for drive space for everyone. I have hundreds of books and some games and apps shared with them as well.

Look at the top. The account already has Premium, and Google are still advertising.

They could have easily emailed that shit instead of making it a full screen popup that shouldn’t have existed.
Maybe it’s a vendor specific thing, but my official YouTube app does not support that colour scheme. Dark mode is just gray ish
?
Mine is stock and black, not gray

Pixel 7 Pro. I think that counts as stock YouTube as you can get (same vendor for device and application).
odd, perhaps I’m overlooking a setting
I’m on a Pixel 7 Pro running Android 14, YouTube build 18.45.41 The only YouTube options for the theme are light, dark, and device.
Hopefully that helps you narrow it down.
Will be grabbing that version! Thank you!
OLED-friendly theme.
Wait, can you show me where that setting is? That’d be great for my phone!
It was probably shown to you in a banner that looked like an ad that you closed out /s
No, I have premium but also run adblock. I have not seen that banner
No.
I think brave browser or opera might be in your interest

That man does god’s work
I was about to ask if this was a paid premium or modded app.
Out of curiosity, what rewards?

Not sure what to think of the AI parts, but thanks for letting us know!
I don’t really know, I just want it to shut the fuck up and get out of my face, but I guess this is what I get for playing by the rules, eh?
It’s typically the ones who follow the rules that get the most shafted.
This has been my experience in every job I’ve ever had.
I too was playing by the rules with premium for years. It was great. Then they gave me an ad for paramount plus even though I was playing for no ads.
I switched to freetube and haven’t gone back since.
They had my money. But they got too greedy and pushed a paying customer to the dark side.
Yeah that’s what my revanced looked like. Hard to tell…
Trying to keep us paying for premium through the price hikes.
With family sharing I find it worth it anyway.
We’re on a family plan, and I plan on keeping it because I don’t want to disappoint my grandmother, she really likes it ;-;
Everyone seems to love it. I just hate ads.
My premium sub doesn’t do this, you can contact google live chat support 24/7 (with a premium sub) to figure this out or to get your money back
