    I was happy to pay for youtube as a service until they broke the shit out of their algorithms and started shoving ads to my face in premium. Did a chargeback and got my money back. Fuck these monkeys.

        Search for a video using the exact title? Sorry, no match. Here is 5 videos that are loosley related to a word in your search, before the completely unrelated algorithm feed begins.

        Use the exact video title in quotation marks? Best i can do is two videos of the five i already showed you…

        I’m frankly offended by he shittiness of youtube search.

        So far so good. The fuckers at youtube support acknowledged serving ads to me even with my premium membership, so they can suck a big fat dick.

      I got the 2 month free trial recently and have yet to see an ad with it. Don’t plan on continuing the service if I do see one.

        Watch out for the “video suggestions” in your home feed with the title “introducing ….” These are product placements they make even with the premium subscription. I HATE ads so I pulled the plug.
