Downloaded videos seemed to be working, and I still had access to Play Music. I will never use premium, red or music YouTube apps and services, yet multiple times a day I get pop ups for these services. About Press Copyright Contact us Creators Advertise Developers Terms Privacy Policy & Safety How YouTube works Test new features With a quick, slight alteration of the URL, you can watch videos uninterrupted. So there you have it – a complete list of common YouTube problems and their solutions. Using YouTube Red, you won't see ads on the YouTube website or within the YouTube apps on mobile and TVs. [SOLVED] I'm also unable to use other Premium features like background play, screen off viewing, and floating window mode. If you tried out each of the solutions given above, you should have no problem playing any video. Well YouTube Red is for Ads in the Video. YouTube has expanded to offer so many different premium subscription services that it can be hard to tell them all apart. This video will show you how to Stop Pop-Up ads on your Android device. Please ad a FREE feature or update to the YouTube app to give users the option to shut down these ads. Answer the next question, about whether the ad was “Inappropriate, Irrelevant, or Repetitive,” and you’ll give Google a little more data…or you can click “Close” without saying why you didn’t like the ad. A Reddit user has posted an easy way of avoiding ads when watching videos on YouTube. For ads below the video you need YouTube Blue for $9.99 a month. If you’re suddenly seeing ads on YouTube and didn’t previously see ads in videos before, there may be an issue with your filter lists. Click the link marked “Stop seeing this ad.” After clicking, you won’t see this specific ad on any of YouTube’s videos. Same issue here. A good first step in troubleshooting filter list issues is to perform a manual update: How do I manually update my filter lists? You can get them together as a package, YouTube Purple for a discount of $18.99. Its distressing and, in my opinion, quite anti-consumer to harass your users in such a way. In this case, you need not worry about hardware acceleration issues; the solution to your problem lies somewhere else (see solutions given in problem #1 above). Looking at it purely from a technical standpoint, YouTube Red removed more ads than an ad blocker, was more reliable, and best of all, it doesn’t use up a metric crapton of RAM.
