I've been a premium user for a few years. I find YT almost unwatchable without premium. I love your analogy about buy back your time. Time is more precious than some people think.

I'm a UKposts TV subscriber and I think UKposts Premium should be free to TV subscribers. The prices for these services have surpassed cable TV.

I love my premium. Tried to go without it a couple years ago and the adds drove me insane. Once you get used to it, you can't use UKposts without it

Its worth it for UKposts music alone. With prime video i get amazon music and cant even play 2 different songs on two different devices!! My wife and I love yourube music.

UKposts Premium cut down on the massive amount of commercials I use to see. So, it’s worth it 👍

I will never go back to ads and the YT Music is nice

JUST SIGNED UP FOR PREMIUM - Bye Bye ADS

I watch yt more than cable and the subscription price is well worth it to me to avoid the commercials. After you include the free movies, which are getting better every month, it's just icing on the cake. Best value out there in my opinion.

I got UKposts premium almost immediately after watching this video and I love it! I get so annoyed with ads, especially when I'm just trying to listen to music and I'm driving having to fumble for my phone to hit the skip button for not 1 but 2 ads! Such a relief! Thank you for helping me make the jump!

Me and my family watch alot of YT and the ads get really annoying.. YT premium totally worth it plus we get YT music

I've had UKposts Premium for about 5 years now and I would never let it go. Right now it's $13.99 a month and that comes to 47 cents a day. I also get all of my music from UKposts also and the sheer amount of music available is just outstanding, whether if it's from the early days of rock right up to today. Even household pets and domestic farm animals know what a great deal it is. And having Darren let us know all the great stuff going out and where you can find it. It can't be beat.

Simply playing a video while my phone is locked or off app is worth it. (Should be a free feature but it’s the world we live in)

Thanks for sharing this video. I've been thinking of how to cut cable's ridiculous pricing. I do have some of the streaming services you mentioned. This is helpful. Thank you.

I had youtube music for one month and realized could nix commercials for another $3...absolutely worth it. Love the annual recaps for toutube music as well

The UKposts music bonus of having music vids and live performances raises it about Spotify for me. Ad free UKposts is just about required for my tastes.

I became a full time UKposts Premium user since Covid confinement and I am subscribed to more than 250 channels, most of them with premium quality information I don't find anywhere (this one included). Don't have to say that this literally changed my life as a user. There are some features in the UKposts Music App I do not like but I really don't care. AWESOME AD FREE LIFE!

I started on UKposts red or whatever it was in like 2013-2014. I have never seen a single ad. Same account since maybe 2009. I have a few beta features I’ve been trying .My favorite one is the ability to create a cue , or you can click the dots on a thumbnail and choose play next, or play last. I just add 10-15 then refresh and pick more. It’s amazing

Yup. I signed up for YT Premium about 4 years ago. I watch a lot of UKposts, so the ad free price is definitely worth it for me. This a great video laying out the total cost for multiple streaming services. Thumbs up Darren!

I'm glad you did this video. I've been on UKposts since it was "Red". I love it. I work at my computer all day and watch videos, sometimes music while I work. I'm also a Spotify Premium user. It's well worth the price!

And I'll always keep watching them as long as you keep makin them! Thanx Darren👍

The power of Downloads + Screen Off play... AMAZING. I will download whole playlists of video essays, and just listen to them on commutes or walks. I've done it with your videos (which seems weird given you're suggesting video items a lot but you describe well so the lack of visuals aren'tthat detracting)

The time saved from commercial-free entertainment is invaluable. We pay for commercial-free or reduced commercials on any streamer that offers it.

I also wanted to add, it's nice to be able to comment/discuss movies, music, vids with other viewers!

Really enjoyed this video. We do HULU live but might have to try out the other options. Only really need/use the live portion during football season.

I got it when it was called youtube red because it was the only way you could watch Cobra Kai at the time. I kept it because of my 3-8 hour ambience videos that really really need to be ad free. No ads is awesome and there are other benefits.

i listen to my own playlists and absolutely need premium to keep from going insane from ads

Great to see the mix up of a video that this is. Maybe one day I'll get the Dark & Stormy sequel I've been asking for over five years. lol

Thanks so much, this was really helpful!

It's probably the 1st media content that i will always subscribe to, and like good yourself, I'm always listening to dj sets, etc, and so i find it as a huge bonus being ad-free, i too pay for Spotify Premium but have never really gave the UKposts music channel much consideration so i may look into it a bit more.

I watch allot of various video content on regular You Tube during the day, so I do have the premium account. I do You Tube more than Streaming services. My setup I have a PC laptop with HDMI. I then connect my Laptop to my large LCD Display via the HDMI cable. Then have a wireless keyboard/mouse to control my You Tube viewing. Yes it does knock out the Ads, but also now finding content creators are imbedding their ads within the videos themselves. Kind of annoying, but I quickly skip over them to get to the main topic of the video. I am glad most of these they just do one imbedded Ad. Premium is great for me when watching You Tube movies and not have annoying Ads pop up all the time. I can sit back and enjoy the entire movie. All in All, I like the premium You Tube services. Thanks for your video and take care.

Many thanks for sharing with us Darren 👍👍👍

I'm pissed that advertisers have gotten around our paid "ad free" premium status by paying creators to SPEAK their ads in their videos!! 🤬🤬🤬 This totally infuriates me.

I have been a subscriber to premium for a couple of years. I’ve never ever regretted buying it. I don’t have cable tv so it’s my go to entertainment source for casual viewing. Edit: I also subscribe to the family plan. My wife and I have vastly different interests and I don’t want a load of sewing machine videos in my recommendations, so it’s really useful.

worth it just for no ads. this is a great sub i was watching this just to learn if content creators get snubbed when i don't have to view their ads. i might have missed it but i didn't hear anything about that here

Wow! Thanks for the tip about paying extra through Apple Pay! I'm changing that ASAP. Love your videos. Thanks.

Plus you get UKposts music which has a better metal catalog than any other platform I’ve seen . Would recommend. Have been a subscriber since Red.

Ads will eventually come, just a lot less, at first. Just look at cable TV, satellite radio, etc. I also don’t like how they crap on creators they don’t like, unsubbing people, shadow banning, and demonetizing channels while still running ads to their (UKposts) benefit only.

i watch your stuff all the time, watching form Newfoundland Canada

thanks for the info Darren. appreciate it

I love UKposts premium, I do a lot of home workouts and the ads were so annoying. I haven’t found UKposts music to be worth having as my only music subscription. It’s too distracting as it carries over my UKposts playlists. Ion like that. Also, Darren, thanks for the different scenarios at the end of how to get the entertainment without the YTTV! Much appreciated!

I didn’t even need to watch this video to tell you yes. 0 ads changed my life for the better. Also background play is nice.

No more Liberty Jibberty ads? Heck yeah it's worth it.

UKposts red has made my ability to listen to so many things. Also the music is handy as well. Way better the cable

I tried it for a month and decided it's not worth it for a couple reasons. Big one is I have alt accounts for gaming and my woodworking hobby, respectively, and my connected accounts don't also get premium. Other reason is I can skip the majority of ads. Although admittedly, the loud, annoying ones are terrible with headphones in or when I'm watching something quiet that suddenly cuts to a really high volume ad.

That was… amazingly insightful, Thank you!

UKposts music is not why I started paying for premium, but once I had it, I stopped Amazon music and switched. UKposts music also has more options, because you can add regular UKposts videos (such as a live performance) to your UKposts music playlist.

Very informative. Thank you. I’m going to get it.

In North Macedonia pay 8.50$ monthly, and with UKposts Music included, it's a no-brainer for me.

UKposts premium pricing varies from country to country. Here in the Philippines, I only pay $2.80 a month. The reason i subscribe to Premium is listening realxing ASMR role play with background play when im taking a nap or get some sleep. A cool feature! 😊

I remember when youtube didnt have ads in the video, the ads were just clickable images on the side,, i could make a playlist of music for a party without interruptions,, it was free, it was perfect

NO! It's not worth it for the fact of UKposts's Big Brother, Gestapo regulations.

Wow you worked hard on this one. Great info!

You forgot to mention the yearly subscription which can only be located if you subscribe on computer not through phone or tablet

I had premium many years ago when play music was included... Of the originals though Wayne was awesome. We mainly consume music through Alexa and UKposts music can't be integrated with Alexa. If it could I'd switch... equally if I could pay a smaller fee to kill the ads alone and drop all the other benefits I would

Ad blocker is free 😂😂😂😂

Interesting, i have had Premium since the RED days and never realised so many of these app features were Premium only. I initially subscribed mainly for the music as the algorithm was so much better and getting ‘my’ music right than the others. Then i got drawn in to the video side as it was so seamless and enjoyable to watch ad free. Love it.

I'm watching Bonobo in concert and the amount of interruptions is alarming! UKposts Premium count me in!

I've used UKposts premium for years, and I love not getting constant ads. I don't have UKposts cable, though, because I dislike the concept of paying for channels that I don't use. If there is ever a service that allows one to pick and choose which cable stations one wants (and doesn't want) to watch, I may reconsider.

Lucky enought to be included in my best friend's YT Premium account. I use YT as my sole music player in the car, as well as around the house. No way I would watch as much YT with commercials!

Absolutely!! I can’t stand ads.

3:21 I know this video is a couple weeks old, but you are giving great info. I have you tube premium and my free trial runs out on Feb. 19th. I’m worried I set it up through Apple Pay. I can’t find my payment info anywhere. Do you know where I can find out how I’m set up to pay b

For a steamer thats pretty much just cable tv, I use Philo. It's only like 20 bucks. Its got pretty much all the major cable stations, does dvr. Id recommend

Well worth it. UKposts music alone makes it worthwhile. Excellent selection and variety of artists and songs. Underrated IMO.

I have always detested commercials, since way before streaming. So yes, it’s worth it.

Thank you for the billing secret when buying the UKposts app via Apple. I checked and I am paying the $18.99 per month vs. the normal $13.99 via UKposts. Any idea if I cancel the Apple UKposts Premium and sign up for UKposts Premium through UKposts proper, will my current account information disappear?

I was wondering hi myself have a iPad and iPhone and my wife has an iPad. Are we both able to listen to videos and music at the same time without a family plan and also, is it possible to do the same thing at another location like at my cottage?

I just got it to try it out because I use the lofi/ambience videos to write/read/sleep and it’s so disruptive when there’s a loud ass ads every 10-15 minutes.

Debated trying even though i use YT alot. Will give it a shot for the user experience and see whats up. U rock forever Sir 🙏🏽🤘🏼

Not sure how many people know about it but you can get the Family subscription for UKposts premium and you can share it with 5 people. I've paid 6 dollars for a year full subscription!! (In my country*)

Would you know if youtube music offers dolby atmos like Apple music? On my regular UKposts premium I can't get receiver to play atmos even though UKposts is claiming it is a dolby atmos video.

YT used to be awesome before adpocalypse. I HATE how they have done their creators over the years. Firefox with a blocker works just fine. I will NEVER give them any money. My favorite channels used to be firearms related. What do you think they did to those guys? They took away their money. I have seen so many creators fall at this point because of YT that I kind of wish they would fail. Eff Apple and Google, if you ask me.

Sounds like neither plan is for me. Thanks for the honest review.

My favorite thing about UKposts premium is, thatmost of the time I like to listen, and when you watch UKposts like that the ads really get in the way!

HELL YAAAAAA, I am on UKposts Premium for almost a 4 years now, I usually pay it annually, only a thing is not automatically renewed, you have to renewed it every year, They let you know when, You also get free UKposts music with it with podcasts and all LOOVE it , ..after all LOOOOVIN ITTT, never go back to the old UKposts with ad, HELL F*n NAH, Even I have a UKposts TV since 2017, get the Chromecast TV dongle for your TVs too ,then You're all set works GREAT all together.. all my streaming services is without ads such as I have all of them F*** ads 👍🤘👌🙏🤙

If you get the family plan it's great! I've got five people on it, for $26 total. No way I'm watching commercials, waiting for those countdowns😅

my only problem with YP is when i play viedos with my phone off( which is one of the features) the video stops playing. also downloaded videos cause my phone to crash. not sure if im the only one with this experience but thats my only downside

Thanks for this vid, been telling friends for awhile now. They think I crazy for paying for UKposts

I love my YT premium!! I use the music app the most, and no ads on my videos are great

Thank you for the information

I love the Brave browser since I don't see any ads on UKposts 😝

All the reasons I love youtube premium covered here, one thing I'd add: UKposts Music >>> Spotify when it comes to internation music of any kind. I listen to a lof of Indian and Latin music and youtube music does not only give you access to a much better Official library but also the nice remixes that someone uploaded on yt 10 years ago - its a game changer!

i never see add's with add blocker for firefox.. 5 years now on my desktop

Hey thanks for the info, just signed up. Pretty cool

I don't always have access to wifi so I download content and can watch it offline. I have hundreds of videos downloaded.

I miss Neil Young on Spotify too😢

Same thoughts here. No ads is the main reason for me. Some other extra’s are nice too. Overhere in the Netherlands the price went up with approx 50% 3 months ago and that pssd me of for a moment. But oké, but can you do 🤷🏻‍♂️ Fyi, my payments go over Palpal 👌🏼

Do you have a magic recipe that allows for sports enthusiasts to watch local pro teams live & still get a bang-for-buck monthly streaming service package? OTA is not an option for me due to my location. I currently use DTV only for live sports (American football).

THANKS

Im in the UK and in this region, the ads are really annoying! On my laptop i could use free adblocker but since im watching youtube mostly on my Phone, there is no adblocker for UKposts app so i had to buy this subscription. And top of that their music premium is great for my car and as wells as my google speaker!

UKposts music algorithm is tits. I have found sooooo many bands because of it I will never go back to other music apps.

great video, loved the breakdowns of what 75$ per month could buy

Kinda missed some major points about UKposts TV. Yes it is cable but much cheaper. No contract and can cancel anytime. Plus local tv stations from your area. I have had UKposts TV for about 2 years and I’m completely happy with it.

You can minimize the screen and it still plays… this alone is well worth it.

The problem I have with ytube is playing movies the sound is awful the movie is low in sound and then the ads blast you out of your chair. Have new 80 in LG smart tv do not have sound problems with netflix hulu etc So would this go away when when pay for ad free. What about the sponsored podcast I resent this and do skip plus thumbs down Tired of being monitized. Amazon just flashed a banner saying will be adding ads to Prime video or an extra 2.99 per month where does it end

Like the FC bundles!

Have Premium for a few years now. I use UKposts as well as Music a lot. It is a no brainer.

How do you do it not going through Apple? I watch everything on my IPad.

I have youtube TV for the live sports, they have the major channels that also show movies

If I could only afford one service I would choose UKposts Premium over everything else.

With UKposts Premium is there another playlist of better movies other than what is normally shown on screen ? Or, is the only benefit no ads ?
