The default-autoplay has made me wanna SCREAM at someone, or them, for a LONG time - and the "suggestions" that pop up on TOP of the video at the end are the WORST. Who else wants to move away from them??

On television Youtube I always hit the "back" or "stop" button whenever I can after viewing on a subscription page or a video collection. The "next" video popups do truly wreck the viewing experience. They might be able to drop those down to the screen margins, but I imagine they won't. Of course, a change from Youtube would be nice--service competition is cool!

I'm getting ready to move away from youtubeTV after two price hikes in a year! Started out at $34.99 now its up to $65 a month! They just raised it another $15 so we can have the pleasure of watching those horrible reality series and old movies on MTV, VH1 and BET.

Never paid for it and rarely watch it.

I kinda like their Youtube Music app, its helping me kill time in work.

Righ I ran into the same issue. Asked a family member *why does you tube keep playing videos after one is over* Answer : because you have autoplay on, turn it off

Oh for....God's sake....on my BRAVE web browser, I've turned on the "forget cookies" thing - so every time on browser startup, it forgets and turn to Youtube's default of having autplay ON, and I have to explicitly *remember* to turn it off. Which of course, I don't when I'm thinking of a new video....

Pain in the motherfucking butt.

Everybody - download BRAVE www.brave.com and TURN YOUR COOKIES OFF! It's probably the best browser there is!

As for the "suggestions" that pop up over the video, they are mostly added by the uploader of the video. And I agree, they are a pain in the arse. I'll be looking at a movie trailer and the last 10 seconds of it are hidden behind pop ups of other videos I'm not interested in. But that's the fault of the person or company who uploaded the video. Not YouTube themselves.

I meant the ones RIGHT at the end, when the video has ended. And YT LET people PUT popups on the vids in the 1st place!

I discovered these new platforms, from what I understand they're "blockchained", and I'm just starting to figure out what that means. For the time being, I can't say I heartily recommend them, but I CAN heartily recommend you check them out! :

All of this really sounds like a "you" problem. YOU are the one choosing to turn cookies off and YOU are the one forgetting to turn autoplay off on YouTube. Maybe you should be screaming at yourself for a long time instead 😂

No THEY shouldn't have turned it on by default.

It's ENTIRELY a THEY problem.

I hate YouTube Music. I can't believe Google is actually sacrificing Play Music over such a half-baked, 1D concept.

I would love to use Google Play instead but I don't think I can via iphone. And if I can, I'm not sure how.

What's a "GPM"? If you could explain to me what u're trying to do, I could possibly Help you!

Google Play Music. Google is getting rid of it in fa or of the vastly inferior YouTube Music.

Explain to me WHAT you downloaded, FROM where TO where. I'm not getting it.

Do you need to access it on a smart speaker or outside of your home?

If you don't, the easiest thing to do would be to set up your own server. SMB is still king. You could get a Raspberry Pi, plug it into your router, set up a music share then access that share with a program like Kodi. Then mirror the set up to any of your devices and access it anywhere on your home network.

Or if that is too complicated, you can get a cheap Windows PC and put something like Plex on it. https://www.plex.tv/your-media/music/

I guess I'm the only one who still listens to music on Ipods...

MotownSubdivision said:

The devices in which I listen to music are fine. It's about the streaming platform.

Yes, if you set up your own server, you would be able to access your media on whatever device you wanted.

Or if you set up Plex, you could access on any device that can download the Plex app.

It's basically making your own personal GPM.

No longer own my physical library anymore, so I'm at the mercy of the albums I downlouded on my iTunes library and the few playlists I made via streaming services

I did until my iPod stopped working. So I've gone back to CDs.

If it's a battery that went dead you can learn how to change it on Youtube and buy a new one on the internet...

I'm one of those super-rare kind who don't hardly play music on my phone. I play DJ with my sansa player without any multiple devices to juggle, & I can only listen or juggle so many songs. So it is really sweet simplicity for me! > If I wanna be adveturous I can always set up my own personal streaming platform for home & perhaps tablet use, like some of these folk are saying. > EmmaMcG said:

That is an interesting idea!
