YouTube blocking

[Gottfrid]

That just shows how little you know. I already wrote that you can use a different service if you wish to see the content if available. Other option are VPN. What they can do, is block your access based on IP address, unit used, possible email or other personal information you have added and are live in from a Google service at the same time. My choice is to not need to do that, by paying for a Youtube Premium subscription. You are free to go with your choice. I have just talked about the possibility and rights to block content as well as terms and conditions.

Ah. Just a simple suggestion from me to begin the thread about how to get around having to pay YouTube develops into handbags at dawn. How wonderfully predictable.

I’m happy to read the excerpt where it states that legally I am compelled to view ads to utilise the service. Please post that paragraph here. Thank you. 

As I said, you did not understand what you just read. Sorry, can´t help you with that. It´s your job. 🙂

But I don’t need to use a different service, I can use YouTube under their terms and conditions.

You can, but you risk being blocked if you do not follow the terms and conditions. In the short version I gave you link to, it stands a person uploading content give Google a set of rights. In the terms and conditions for advertising and watching ads, there are more info. In the full terms and conditions for YouTube you will have the full scope. However, you have to look and read yourself. I am not your daddy. Neither am I your servant.

I read it. You cannot help me because you just made up some rule that doesn’t exist in the terms and conditions. I can publish them here for you. You can highlight the relevant part ☺️
You’ve been busted. You come on here acting like you know something and you’ve been exposed as a FRAUD. 
Show the paragraph where it states that you have to view advertisements to utilise the service. It doesn’t exist. You are just pathetic.

Have a nice day, Sir. No have more time. You got your answers and explanations. Deal with it the way you find suitable.

You just made up the part about “watching ads”. I read the whole thing.

Actually adds are one thing - what YouTube is providing in many cases is pure Magic elixir tonic from the 1800's - one yesterday cured all eye issues known to man with an ice cube (if you click on their link).  Then there are the magic methods to make any girl fall in love with you without speaking a word or doing a thing.

Ok, just follow this link. After that, no more need for discussion. Allow ads on videos that you watch - YouTube Help (google.com)

And you were right. I did post again. Just to educate you, per your own wish. Please do not return and tell you do not understand the legal language in the terms.

That´s another thing, and should also according to terms and conditions be removed by YouTube.

Oh my god. I told you, I can´t help you understand the legal language used.

If Google has a problem, they can sue the Browser and anti malware developers. Same with Windows; I disable all of the Telemetry. Of course they’d like me to keep it all enabled. But just like I say to Google; it’s a hard NO.

Just the typical capitalist mindset. "I risked it all to create this business so bow down to me and pay whatever I ask."

 

Now if you'll excuse me I'm off to steal some potatoes.

Excuse me, isn´t it my choice to pay for Premium subscription? Why do you have to call me out for being a weak hearted sheep because of that? You are free to do it your way, but I am just pointing out that you risk blocking of certain content that way.

Exactly. The upside is that I don’t see any ads. Should I feel bad about that?

Still, you do not have to feel bad at all. You just risk getting content blocked in the long run. Just like all on this forum posted that you can overstay and just exit by the airport. They are closing in on that now too. Maybe you get blocked one day, who knows. Are you going to sue Google then, as it don´t hold water, like you said?

You are welcome to pay. Just don’t presume to tell other people what they must do.

It’s legal and secure what I’m doing now. Currently listening to music via YouTube… without ads. Free, secure and legal.

So, where do I say that you steal or accuse you for stealing? The only thing I post is that a shop does not make loss on ketchup, and that does not mean you steal the potato. And you told me that you understand legal language, but do not grasp what the does not mean you steal, means. But, on the other hand, the terms and conditions state that you are not allowed to block ads. Something that means you are violating the terms for watching the content on a privately owned service/platform. What do you call that? Smart?

On my privately owned device. If they don’t like it, they can try to block me.

Me too. I am staggered that so many people are so cheap and refuse to pay this paltry amount.

I like that I don't have to register and log in.  Yeah they can get the IP address etc but I like to keep my net identity minimal.

I don't use yt that much anyway.

Regarding the no need for registration and login, it´s a great service. Also, the ads, are quite short, so if not look much have no problem and can just click them away. I am using it much, as do my wife and kids, so I found it annoying to need to have the interruptions and made the choice to pay for YT Premium.
