drop the premium and apply an ad blocker. that will make it more bearable. premium isn’t really premium if you’re not feeling like you’re getting a good deal.
I use DNS blocking and have NextDNS and AdGuard DNS on different devices. Both have clear instructions on how to set up.
Or even easier get Wipr if you’re on Apple devices. Android has even more options.
My big issue is that I use a lot of stuff offline and I have found that many of the downloader options to be limited. Not the fault of the app developers, they are fighting against a service that is constantly changing the back end to prevent them from being consistent.
I like said, I think Google is looking to start locking this down big time in the coming years. They have accepted that people will use all kind of means to get around downloading content and skipping ads so long as the business is growing. But as it plateaus and their dream of AI become much more realistic, the squeeze to lock everything down is going to get much harder in years to come.
I said it years back, wouldn’t be surprised if many websites and services just become a giant webASM blob so that it makes scraping information near impossible. Roll content and AD’s into a single DNS and have the web blob handle all the splits internally.
I have only had premium for many 4 months now and I am probably only going to use it for a month or more at this stage. It is fine but there just isn’t enough to justify it.
