US prices: Netflix 1080p: $18/mo. Netflix 4k: $25/mo. No annual plan. Youtube Premium, which offers 4k, is $14/mo, or $120/yr for the annual plan (which averages to $12/mo). UK prices: Netflix 1080p: £13/mo. Netflix 4k: £19/mo. No annual plan. Youtube Premium: £12/mo. No annual plan. It's interesting how in the Youtube Premiums discount over Netflix is smaller in the UK than the US, and how Youtube Premium lacks an annual plan in the UK. >Also note that while it takes away the ads, it does nothing about the stalking Does an ad blocker change that? |

> Does an ad blocker change that?
In many places, yes. Youtube? Less so, but it depends on which blocker(s) are in play.
A DNS based blocker won't help completely as some of the ad/track related requests are coming from their main domain or sub-domains that are used for other things so can't be blocked wholescale. It will block JS and other resources pulling from *.doubleclick.net though.
A browser/add-on based blocker may do much better by being able to more selectively block resource that are tracking related. It will also be able to block data passed via embedded videos in other sites. They can, and probably do, still track based on what you are actually watching via requests to the main domain, no ad blocker can do much about that without blocking the whole site.
