Ad-free YouTube Premium is a Luxury Good
3 comments

Even with premium you still can't hide suggested videos, shorts, the front page is still messy...
Have people forgotten what a bookmark is? https://www.youtube.com/feed/subscriptions

And once on a video, suggestions cannot be seen in Cinema Mode, which can be made the default. Still have the ones at the end of the video I suppose, though they show up inconsistently for me, so might be a channel creator setting.

I wish there was a way to block those floating boxes recommending additional videos, that always cover up the end of a video
I recently noticed a tiny "Hide" control (to hide these) that pops up in the top right, which is long overdue.
It’s possible with this extension: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/unhook-remove-youtu...

I use it on firefox

Which is why I pray everyday at the shrine of my 10tb 5200rpm spinning rust and yt-dlp client.
Aren't luxuries supposed to be expensive?
This question reminds me of the time Larry King interviewed Danny Pudi[1] and asked him, "What's a luxury you can't live without?"

Lol, don't know who this guy is but that is an awesome response. Good socks, my man.
“Larry, I do ducktails”

What an icon

No, or at least not in money. An afternoon on the couch reading a good book is a luxury.
