There's been a bit of banter the last few weeks between YouTube and people using adblockers. YouTube puts up a little warning with "oi fucko buy premium or disable the ad blocker" and the ad blockers figure out a way to evade YouTube's detection, so YouTube tweaks something to bring the message back and the cycle continues. Today, YouTube upped the monthly price of Premium to A$16.99 or A$32.99 for a family plan, ironically driving more people to use ad blockers or a VPN to get a cheaper subscription overseas. I like the fact YouTube lets me pay to get rid of ads, so I put my money where my mouth is and do that. Great value even at twice price.
