I became a Premium member a few months ago and have not regretted it. All adds are removed with the exception of those inserted by YouTubers themselves into their videos. It's easy to fast forward through these to avoid the ubiquitous adds for the green gunk they all seem to have for breakfast.

For details on plans, costs, payments, etc. I simply clicked on the "Premium" item in YouTube's index. 

May I ask....how many different devices can you use it on? I have 2 android phones (one is without sim card) and two tv's (one's in another location. 🤔

That was the information you were asking for.

 

But Morch gave you the free solution.

 

It works.  Took 30 seconds to locate and install the uBlock extension for Firefox.  Works perfectly once other adblockers are disabled on the Youtube page.

So ublock's free? That's good to know. 👍🏻 

Thanks.

I don't see any adverts. I don't know how anyone can tolerate the adverts, especially when they interrupt videos/songs. 

Well, I guess if you don't see 'em, I shouldn't either.....hopefully. 😉🙏

Can't agree more ... it works a treat with utube and removes so much clutter everywhere you browse too. Completely different internet with Ublock Origin.

Is it free? 🤔

Right. Low cost and my phone package is with AIS. I'll be down there tomorrow. 

 

Thank you. 👍🏻🙏🙏🙏🙏

Oh, by the way, is it a genuine NO-commercial thing? 

Or...will I still sometimes hear that 'shopee' horror, but just less often?

I ask, because I would prefer NO commercials like that ever again! 🙂

Help needed. I seek information & advice regarding using 'You-tube Premium. 

If I have ro listen to 5 seconds of the 'Shopee!' commercial one more time, I may lose control over my actions, resulting in calamitous tragedy.....potentially. 😉

So I beg those who know: How much is it? And is it worth it?

And....importantly.......if it's reasonably priced (let's say, under 400 baht per month) and worth it, how do I sign up to it, without a credit card or any kind of online payment set-up?

You've got to love how some seem to get around the ban on marketing beer on social media.

 

 

While others, yea you, over there, the MovrForward MP, yea I'm talking about you, seem to be prosecuted.

 

Odd justice system.

 

 

Glad to see some are paying attention. 👍🏻

I assume you're using the word 'odd' as a synonym for other, less euphemistic but more accurate expressions like 'totally corrupt....rigged.....unjust.....etc.. (If so, I don't blame you.) 😎

Seems to me that israel may win the "battle" ( it's not really a battle as that implies 2 sides able to fight but this is a one sided conflict where the israelis bomb Gaza with impunity, so it's just a slaughter ), but will lose the war. The longer it goes on, the more people all around the world will turn against israel, and if the israelis don't let aid in and thousands die of starvation, or wounds, they won't just be talking, like that useless mob in the UN, they will be taking action.

 

It's ironic that for decades most of the world has ignored the israeli/ Palestinian conflict, and allowed israel to oppress a people, but by this slaughter they are waking the world up to the injustice of it all, and they don't like it one little bit.

netanyahu thinks he's winning, but he's only looking in the mirror.

Fully agree with your comment & opinion. 👍

75 years references Israel's creation. If you are in the position that Israel should close shop and cancel itself, I guess that's not much of an option, and not even much of discussion point.

 

To put some facts into it, post the 1949 cease fire agreements, the West Bank was occupied (and later annexed) by Jordan, while Egypt had it's own de-facto occupation in the Gaza Strip (with a short stint of a Palestinian puppet government). These lasted until 1967 - which is usually what people refer to with regard to the Israeli occupation. Should be noted that the Palestinians did not have as many issues being occupied by Egypt and Jordan, and there was no serious attempt to claim independence, freedom or sovereignty.

1949 cease-fire agreement? Can we go back a year, 1948? It is undisputably chronicled on record as being the year during which the displaced Palestinians have ever since called 'The Naqba'........the brutal expulsion of their people from countless towns and villages to allow the usurpation of that land by the incoming jewish settlers, themselves victims of their own tragic diaspora and persecution.

Egypt's and Jordan's role historically? That's 'smokescreen' stuff. Please, stick to the firmly-rooted fundamental issue of how Israel not only stole the Palestinian land, but committed atrocities to do so....with the support of the west.

The Jews are indigenous there.

The Arabs are the Johnny come latelies.

When you say over do you mean River to the sea genocide?

Apart from being partially right, Jingthing .....which always helps to dubiously  support one's point (imho), you're suggesting that I support genocide of the Israeli people from 'River to the sea'? Did I get that right? It's a bit ambiguous.

If I'm wrong and I misconstrued that last point I do apologise.

What will happen to all the Israelis in Israel when Israel finishes ?

Well, it won't 'finish'. It may, I hope, go through an unpleasant (but wholly deserved) decade or two of 'adjustment'....forced upon it by outside world power & influence......whereby the cause for this long-time & present tragedy is ended......and sorted out according to 'Queensbury Rules'.

'Israel's Options'....?

It's narrowed down to one now: Israel's 75 year immoral and horribly unjust occupation of the land on which the indigenous Palestinians rightfully call their homeland......is over. 

Not over now, of course. But it will be, even in my lifetime.....and I'm old! 🇰🇼

tm30 needed for 12 day stay?

Sorry, pomchop....don't actually know the answer to that, as I have longer-stay extensions and am not familiar with all the TM30 requirements & rules regarding other visa types, ie tourist. (Tbh....don't even fully know the requirements & rules re my own visa/extension type....it's all very confusing - to me anyway!)

"...every Hamas member was "a dead man""

Well, I suppose it is time for Hamas to recruit some women then...

But it's all good, in line with the OT and all about conquering those who might live on "the promised land":

"But of the cities ... which the Lord thy God doth give thee for an inheritance, thou shalt save alive nothing that breatheth." Kill the old men and women, the sick and the dying, the blind and the lame, pregnant mothers, nursing mothers, infants, toddlers, and babies." Deuteronomy 20:16 (went without saying kill all the men)

Now you may say   "Hey wait, that is what Muslim Hamas did". True, but they do refer to Jews as "People of the book" (same sort of origin)... just following God's directions is all

Religion poisons everything

Re this idea of a land promised to the chosen ones by God himself, I heard the wonderful George Galloway yesterday describe such a thing thus.....(or nearabouts).....as 'God as a real estate agent'. 

I should make clear that George did NOT make that remark in support of such a notion, but as a means to highlight the wicked absurdity of it. 

And yes, Emdog, your point about 'Religions poison everything'...., is an idea that is getting harder & to oppose, very quickly.....though sadly not quick enough to save countless lives.

I commented out loud “thank you, very happy, quick service” in Thai with a smile on my face and wai to the officer.

 

 

First mistake, never wai to anyone.

 

Know what you mean.....????

......but respectfully disagree, because there are ways by which a wai can convey a clear message - in this case, disapproval -  without having to state that message, which may worsen such situations very badly. 

I've watched how the Thais do this to good effect. In fact, I'm now quite good at it myself! ????

Yes.

(Not as brave as one might hope for, ideally, but Thailand and its msm media are many years away from 'ideally'......so yes, brave enough to signify something perhaps. ????????)

'Cleansed'? 

I hope you and I never, ever meet. 

You and I are both human, and as such we often morally stumble in our way forward. Many times I've taken questionable positions that I've unconvincingly used to justify my foolish remarks or actions. Mea culpa big time, but I've always figured it out right in the end with some honest reflection....and maybe at cost.

The Palestinians trapped by Israel, in Gaza, are NOT stains on the floor to be 'cleansed' and wiped off. Only bloodstains perhaps, and those stains are already getting the world attention the Israeli-lovin' western msm can't hide.
