I'm your host, Darren Van Dam!
Tired of looking for good movies to watch on Netflix, Amazon Prime or other streaming services? Every week I recommend a handful of the best movies on Netflix, Amazon, HBO etc. so my subscribers never run out of good movies to watch on streaming. Spending 10 minutes watching one of my videos could save you hours of searching, hours that you could otherwise spend watching good movies on streaming that you otherwise might not have ever watched or even known about.
Thanks for watching! - Розваги
I'm a UA-cam TV subscriber and I think UA-cam Premium should be free to TV subscribers. The prices for these services have surpassed cable TV.
No way! Have you seen what Comcast/Xfinity charges? It's way more expensive.
Me top but I wish UA-cam TV didn't have commercials
I love my premium. Tried to go without it a couple years ago and the adds drove me insane. Once you get used to it, you can't use UA-cam without it

I've been a premium user for a few years. I find YT almost unwatchable without premium. I love your analogy about buy back your time. Time is more precious than some people think.
I chromcast to my TV with my phone. By switching between YT Shorts and regular videos, I can cut out all the ads. 😊
Dupre already said what i was going to ......
It's as if you pulled this right out of my brain!
Not any more with the increase for ad free. If an ad is longer than 5 sec, I'll stop and not watch the video.
How precious is your time if all you are doing is sitting on your ass watching hours upon hours of videos? Your logic only makes sense to others who are convincing themselves that they made the "right" decisions.
UA-cam Premium cut down on the massive amount of commercials I use to see. So, it’s worth it 👍
uBlock Origin does the same. I directly support the creators I most value.
I agree with you no ads is so much better! worth the price
Yeah except every video nowadays has ads baked into the content.
Exactly
@@3MPIREOFDEATH If premium got rid of baked in ads too I'd be impressed enough to consider paying
I'm pissed that advertisers have gotten around our paid "ad free" premium status by paying creators to SPEAK their ads in their videos!! 🤬🤬🤬 This totally infuriates me.
I unsub from every content creator who does that regardless of how big they are.
There’s a nifty tool call SponsorBlock
@@Ronythethirdgood idea, going to do this too
Same here.
Doesn't the money go directly to the content creator tho or no?
Its worth it for UA-cam music alone. With prime video i get amazon music and cant even play 2 different songs on two different devices!! My wife and I love yourube music.
Hey, I'm thinking of getting UA-cam premium, but I have a question regarding UA-cam Music. Can you listen to songs offline?
@@rerorero6493yes you can
@@rerorero6493yes
Yes, plus YT Music will auto generate an offline mix.@rerorero6493
@@rerorero6493 i know i am late but yes you can as long it downloaded. you can also download a entire playlist.
JUST SIGNED UP FOR PREMIUM - Bye Bye ADS
You'll never go back...it's worth it just for the Music!
Me too
what about ( Spsonor ads )
and yes google itself marked them as ads
Linus i watch and still has to watch them no button to skip them
you know what is worst than paying for their plan
Paying £20 a YEAR for 2 years of other services that give 1TB space too
everything youtube premium gives that are ( FREE to get elsewhere )
is called software
--------------------------------------------------
Ad-free & background play
Watch ad-free videos - background play and downloads
VLC with software editors - VLC on moblie or windows itself - Downloads ( UA-cam - think downloads are linked to account so it not download is Preloaded )
Removed Sponsors
VLC - allows Mp3 and Mp4 which youtube can`t see past the big apple icon because they don`t think them should be free
which youtube was part bulit yet

I will never go back to ads and the YT Music is nice
Simply playing a video while my phone is locked or off app is worth it. (Should be a free feature but it’s the world we live in)
Free on rumble
you know MP3 was that years ago for nothing much
only if you count
VLC + your MP3 playlist as £13 a month
which both free to use
that's free on xioami phones without having to pay anything
I watch yt more than cable and the subscription price is well worth it to me to avoid the commercials. After you include the free movies, which are getting better every month, it's just icing on the cake. Best value out there in my opinion.

I got UA-cam premium almost immediately after watching this video and I love it! I get so annoyed with ads, especially when I'm just trying to listen to music and I'm driving having to fumble for my phone to hit the skip button for not 1 but 2 ads! Such a relief! Thank you for helping me make the jump!
Great choice - I've had it for years.

Me and my family watch alot of YT and the ads get really annoying.. YT premium totally worth it plus we get YT music
I've had UA-cam Premium for about 5 years now and I would never let it go. Right now it's $13.99 a month and that comes to 47 cents a day. I also get all of my music from UA-cam also and the sheer amount of music available is just outstanding, whether if it's from the early days of rock right up to today. Even household pets and domestic farm animals know what a great deal it is. And having Darren let us know all the great stuff going out and where you can find it. It can't be beat.
A great deal that can't be beat? Sure it can! You're paying by the month, meaning you spend 20% more a year compared to buying an annual subscription instead.
@@Reynard_11 That's the way it suits my situation, as it does a lot of other people who don't wish to go annually. In that respect it's a great deal.
The time saved from commercial-free entertainment is invaluable. We pay for commercial-free or reduced commercials on any streamer that offers it.

i listen to my own playlists and absolutely need premium to keep from going insane from ads
I also wanted to add, it's nice to be able to comment/discuss movies, music, vids with other viewers!
I started on UA-cam red or whatever it was in like 2013-2014. I have never seen a single ad. Same account since maybe 2009. I have a few beta features I’ve been trying .My favorite one is the ability to create a cue , or you can click the dots on a thumbnail and choose play next, or play last. I just add 10-15 then refresh and pick more. It’s amazing
No more Liberty Jibberty ads? Heck yeah it's worth it.

I have been a subscriber to premium for a couple of years. I’ve never ever regretted buying it. I don’t have cable tv so it’s my go to entertainment source for casual viewing. Edit: I also subscribe to the family plan. My wife and I have vastly different interests and I don’t want a load of sewing machine videos in my recommendations, so it’s really useful.

The UA-cam music bonus of having music vids and live performances raises it about Spotify for me. Ad free UA-cam is just about required for my tastes.
You forgot to mention the yearly subscription which can only be located if you subscribe on computer not through phone or tablet
I became a full time UA-cam Premium user since Covid confinement and I am subscribed to more than 250 channels, most of them with premium quality information I don't find anywhere (this one included). Don't have to say that this literally changed my life as a user. There are some features in the UA-cam Music App I do not like but I really don't care. AWESOME AD FREE LIFE!
I had youtube music for one month and realized could nix commercials for another $3...absolutely worth it.
Love the annual recaps for toutube music as well
Thanks for sharing this video. I've been thinking of how to cut cable's ridiculous pricing. I do have some of the streaming services you mentioned. This is helpful. Thank you.
The power of Downloads + Screen Off play... AMAZING. I will download whole playlists of video essays, and just listen to them on commutes or walks. I've done it with your videos (which seems weird given you're suggesting video items a lot but you describe well so the lack of visuals aren'tthat detracting)
Yup. I signed up for YT Premium about 4 years ago. I watch a lot of UA-cam, so the ad free price is definitely worth it for me.
This a great video laying out the total cost for multiple streaming services.
Thumbs up Darren!
Did you has a setting to remove Sponsors too so you skipped the bulit-in not ads as a sponsor which is under the name
LOOPHOLE they got it
You paid for our plan Right
Now you cut half the loading times to watch Sponsored video which still shows up in your list making it a ( AD FREE - Not sponsored free )
their own search says AD is also under Sponsors as a ad too

I got it when it was called youtube red because it was the only way you could watch Cobra Kai at the time. I kept it because of my 3-8 hour ambience videos that really really need to be ad free. No ads is awesome and there are other benefits.
And I'll always keep watching them as long as you keep makin them! Thanx Darren👍
Plus you get UA-cam music which has a better metal catalog than any other platform I’ve seen . Would recommend. Have been a subscriber since Red.
I'm glad you did this video. I've been on UA-cam since it was "Red". I love it. I work at my computer all day and watch videos, sometimes music while I work. I'm also a Spotify Premium user. It's well worth the price!

Ads will eventually come, just a lot less, at first. Just look at cable TV, satellite radio, etc.
I also don’t like how they crap on creators they don’t like, unsubbing people, shadow banning, and demonetizing channels while still running ads to their (UA-cam) benefit only.
I have premium and love it, have been there since the RED days. BUT, if ads ever arrive, i’m gone.
Had Premium for a long long time and never one ad. That's the purpose of Premium is no ads, so they will never come.
Really enjoyed this video. We do HULU live but might have to try out the other options. Only really need/use the live portion during football season.
NO! It's not worth it for the fact of UA-cam's Big Brother, Gestapo regulations.
Thanks so much, this was really helpful!
I watch allot of various video content on regular You Tube during the day, so I do have the premium account. I do You Tube more than Streaming services.
My setup I have a PC laptop with HDMI. I then connect my Laptop to my large LCD Display via the HDMI cable. Then have a wireless keyboard/mouse to control my You Tube viewing.
Yes it does knock out the Ads, but also now finding content creators are imbedding their ads within the videos themselves. Kind of annoying, but I quickly skip over them to get to the main topic of the video. I am glad most of these they just do one imbedded Ad.
Premium is great for me when watching You Tube movies and not have annoying Ads pop up all the time. I can sit back and enjoy the entire movie.
All in All, I like the premium You Tube services. Thanks for your video and take care.
I tried it for a month and decided it's not worth it for a couple reasons.
Big one is I have alt accounts for gaming and my woodworking hobby, respectively, and my connected accounts don't also get premium.
Other reason is I can skip the majority of ads. Although admittedly, the loud, annoying ones are terrible with headphones in or when I'm watching something quiet that suddenly cuts to a really high volume ad.
I remember when youtube didnt have ads in the video, the ads were just clickable images on the side,, i could make a playlist of music for a party without interruptions,, it was free, it was perfect
Many thanks for sharing with us Darren 👍👍👍
Great to see the mix up of a video that this is. Maybe one day I'll get the Dark & Stormy sequel I've been asking for over five years. lol
In North Macedonia pay 8.50$ monthly, and with UA-cam Music included, it's a no-brainer for me.
It's probably the 1st media content that i will always subscribe to, and like good yourself, I'm always listening to dj sets, etc, and so i find it as a huge bonus being ad-free, i too pay for Spotify Premium but have never really gave the UA-cam music channel much consideration so i may look into it a bit more.
They've constantly improved UA-cam Music over the years. I remember they sent me a survey, and I tole they I always listened to Pandora because of the "Radio Stations" of an artist you could do. Before long, UA-cam msuic had radio stations that are so easy to use it's amazing. UA-cam Music literally has every feature, and more songs and artist than any other streamer has and the interface is fantastic. They even have a high resolution option for best quality stream!
I'f it were me, I'd set up UA-cam Premium to mimic what you have set up in Spotify and quit Spotify and $ave that money! I hate having too many monthly costs going out! They can really add up!! :)
Well worth it. UA-cam music alone makes it worthwhile. Excellent selection and variety of artists and songs. Underrated IMO.
I'm watching Bonobo in concert and the amount of interruptions is alarming! UA-cam Premium count me in!
I didn’t even need to watch this video to tell you yes. 0 ads changed my life for the better. Also background play is nice.
UA-cam music is not why I started paying for premium, but once I had it, I stopped Amazon music and switched. UA-cam music also has more options, because you can add regular UA-cam videos (such as a live performance) to your UA-cam music playlist.
I need to do that more often! Thanks for reminding me! :)
I just got it to try it out because I use the lofi/ambience videos to write/read/sleep and it’s so disruptive when there’s a loud ass ads every 10-15 minutes.
thanks for the info Darren. appreciate it
Premium member….and I ain’t never going back
My favorite thing about UA-cam premium is, thatmost of the time I like to listen, and when you watch UA-cam like that the ads really get in the way!
I love UA-cam premium, I do a lot of home workouts and the ads were so annoying. I haven’t found UA-cam music to be worth having as my only music subscription. It’s too distracting as it carries over my UA-cam playlists. Ion like that. Also, Darren, thanks for the different scenarios at the end of how to get the entertainment without the YTTV! Much appreciated!
worth it just for no ads. this is a great sub i was watching this just to learn if content creators get snubbed when i don't have to view their ads. i might have missed it but i didn't hear anything about that here
There are soo many adds on UA-cam now, that it's almost unwatchable. You can't even watch a 3minute clip without it being broken by adds. Is it worth paying the extra for no adds ...... no, because more and more content makers are combining paid sponsor adds in their content.
The prices are completely ridiculous
I have always detested commercials, since way before streaming. So yes, it’s worth it.
UA-cam red has made my ability to listen to so many things. Also the music is handy as well. Way better the cable
Wow! Thanks for the tip about paying extra through Apple Pay! I'm changing that ASAP. Love your videos. Thanks.
UA-cam premium pricing varies from country to country. Here in the Philippines, I only pay $2.80 a month. The reason i subscribe to Premium is listening realxing ASMR role play with background play when im taking a nap or get some sleep. A cool feature! 😊
2,80 🥺😳 I'm so jelous.
🤔 wonder if I could change my country to Philippines to purchase it.
Would you know if youtube music offers dolby atmos like Apple music? On my regular UA-cam premium I can't get receiver to play atmos even though UA-cam is claiming it is a dolby atmos video.
i watch your stuff all the time, watching form Newfoundland Canada
Lucky enought to be included in my best friend's YT Premium account. I use YT as my sole music player in the car, as well as around the house. No way I would watch as much YT with commercials!
No Ads is the only reason I have UA-cam premium.
it's about not having ads....ads make youtube literally unwatchable.
( ADS and Sponsors made their site more pay to view than free to view )
I type their own search
Sponsor and shown up under the word ( AD or advertising )
I grew up watching TV. I can get by with a few ads, the second one i can skip.
All the reasons I love youtube premium covered here, one thing I'd add:
UA-cam Music >>> Spotify when it comes to internation music of any kind.
I listen to a lof of Indian and Latin music and youtube music does not only give you access to a much better Official library but also the nice remixes that someone uploaded on yt 10 years ago - its a game changer!
Not sure how many people know about it but you can get the Family subscription for UA-cam premium and you can share it with 5 people. I've paid 6 dollars for a year full subscription!! (In my country*)
I've used UA-cam premium for years, and I love not getting constant ads.
I don't have UA-cam cable, though, because I dislike the concept of paying for channels that I don't use. If there is ever a service that allows one to pick and choose which cable stations one wants (and doesn't want) to watch, I may reconsider.
I will go without a lot of things before I without youtube premium.
Interesting, i have had Premium since the RED days and never realised so many of these app features were Premium only. I initially subscribed mainly for the music as the algorithm was so much better and getting ‘my’ music right than the others. Then i got drawn in to the video side as it was so seamless and enjoyable to watch ad free. Love it.
I was wondering hi myself have a iPad and iPhone and my wife has an iPad. Are we both able to listen to videos and music at the same time without a family plan and also, is it possible to do the same thing at another location like at my cottage?
THANKS
I watch more UA-cam than Netflix, so it’s worth it for me. Plus I hate ads. I don’t mind the sponsorship blurbs from creators though.
Thank you for the billing secret when buying the UA-cam app via Apple. I checked and I am paying the $18.99 per month vs. the normal $13.99 via UA-cam. Any idea if I cancel the Apple UA-cam Premium and sign up for UA-cam Premium through UA-cam proper, will my current account information disappear?
For a steamer thats pretty much just cable tv, I use Philo. It's only like 20 bucks. Its got pretty much all the major cable stations, does dvr. Id recommend
So for those of you who run your own movie review youtube channel, definitely get youtube premium.
3:21 I know this video is a couple weeks old, but you are giving great info. I have you tube premium and my free trial runs out on Feb. 19th. I’m worried I set it up through Apple Pay. I can’t find my payment info anywhere. Do you know where I can find out how I’m set up to pay b
That was… amazingly insightful, Thank you!
I love my YT premium!! I use the music app the most, and no ads on my videos are great
You can minimize the screen and it still plays… this alone is well worth it.
you can still see Sponsors which are also seen by google own search as
advertising are also marked as sponsors ( Type ( Sponsor ) and see what every search sees it marked under
Google ( advertising ) - you know ( AD or ADS )
I don't always have access to wifi so I download content and
can watch it offline. I have hundreds of videos downloaded.
I don't mind the skip-able six second ads, but now many are 15 or 30 seconds and are not skip-able. It's really getting annoying, especially when the ads behave differently on my computer and TV. I think I'll give the premium free trial a try.
If I could only afford one service I would choose UA-cam Premium over everything else.
Wow you worked hard on this one. Great info!
i never see add's with add blocker for firefox.. 5 years now on my desktop
my only problem with YP is when i play viedos with my phone off( which is one of the features) the video stops playing.
also downloaded videos cause my phone to crash.
not sure if im the only one with this experience but thats my only downside
HELL YAAAAAA, I am on UA-cam Premium for almost a 4 years now, I usually pay it annually, only a thing is not automatically renewed, you have to renewed it every year, They let you know when, You also get free UA-cam music with it with podcasts and all LOOVE it , ..after all LOOOOVIN ITTT, never go back to the old UA-cam with ad, HELL F*n NAH, Even I have a UA-cam TV since 2017, get the Chromecast TV dongle for your TVs too ,then You're all set works GREAT all together.. all my streaming services is without ads such as I have all of them F*** ads 👍🤘👌🙏🤙
UA-cam music algorithm is tits. I have found sooooo many bands because of it I will never go back to other music apps.
If you get the family plan it's great! I've got five people on it, for $26 total. No way I'm watching commercials, waiting for those countdowns😅
Thank you for the information
Kinda missed some major points about UA-cam TV. Yes it is cable but much cheaper. No contract and can cancel anytime. Plus local tv stations from your area. I have had UA-cam TV for about 2 years and I’m completely happy with it.
Ad blocker is free 😂😂😂😂
this is how you look like lil bro 🤓☝️
@@whato2051 I'm not your bro, kick rocks turd.
You literally pay for UA-cam Premium dawg @@whato2051
Free but it does make people loose their jobs
I love the Brave browser since I don't see any ads on UA-cam 😝
Sounds like neither plan is for me. Thanks for the honest review.
I got UA-cam premium back during election time to stop the commercials. Almost 4 years later and was worth it every penny ! All other added features are icing in the cake! I love it.
I had premium many years ago when play music was included... Of the originals though Wayne was awesome.
We mainly consume music through Alexa and UA-cam music can't be integrated with Alexa. If it could I'd switch... equally if I could pay a smaller fee to kill the ads alone and drop all the other benefits I would
Absolutely!! I can’t stand ads.
paid £20 for a VPN for TWO YEARS and still got 1 year left
would cost me £9490 for 2 years of it VS £20 by an VPN service which is was a DEAL
I used it in RU meaning if they want to place ads i would like it go to Russia because i would slame my vpn area for not donating it to them
FREE AD BLOCKER?
Like the FC bundles!
Debated trying even though i use YT alot. Will give it a shot for the user experience and see whats up. U rock forever Sir 🙏🏽🤘🏼
How do you avoid the Apple fee?
I like it. It's worth it just for youtube music. No ads is a massive plus
I live in a country where we don't get ads on UA-cam.
