Do you want a bunch of videos you can’t even watch clogging up your feeds and search results? Of course not! Neither do we, but YouTube won’t let us choose how or where our bonus content is promoted, it’s just all or nothing! That leaves us with only one option…

I came back to LTT videos after a Long time, and seeing Linus with braces makes me feel good and bad for him 😅 wish you all the best through the pains of monthly adjustments. it's all worth it in the end ! congrats on the decision
My problem isn't the recommendations of member only videos, but the fact that I pay for premium and most of my feed is *only* member only videos, not just for LTT but other creators too. If I wanted ads, I wouldn't pay for premium. YT should stick to recommending videos to members or just have 1 or 2 member only videos recommended when already watching an LTT video. Our feeds shouldn't be clogged with content we can't watch…
Sorry but stop complaining about money. There's real youtubers like Realbossbeast that doesnt make any membership content with over 3k videos and only 9k subs. You make plenty of money
Knew there was some kind of experiment behind all the recent ltt members only videos. Was wondering if ltt was going corporate on us.
Members Only – people should watch the video if they get paid for money 💰 by YouTube video as of membership.
If they spend $7000 or $1000
are there free videos on floatplane? i'd rather go to your page instead of youtube for tech videos. whie we are here. youtube shorts suck. i dont want to watch short content on my laptop.
How about YouTube exlude channel notifications about Shorts that are just previews of full YouTube video?
especially on reaction channels. like by the time the video is posted for non members it's like sometimes 3 weeks after
If you want me to watch a laptop ad, it better have an AMD CPU in it.
As a Premium holder, do non-premium holders see double ads? I just skip through the sponsorship, do non-premium holders not have this ability? Does that mean non-premium holders see channel owned sponsor ads + YouTube ads?
The most transparent segue ever “There’s also a lot of money in this segue to our sponsor” 😂
The bigest YT problem is promotion scamers ads. They take dirty money from fake corp and show scam is they washing dirty money? Its always under lagal names
Not very different from floatplane. Kind of an ironic video
Youtube has become really depressing. I've been paying for Youtube Premium since day 1 so I could ditch adblock and support content creators that way. But since then my plan has more than doubled, every single youtube video is filled with ads and sponsors directly integreted by the creators (it used to be only really big channels), and now my youtube feed is starting to look like a mobile game with paywalled stuff everywhere. This is bullshit
i'm a floatplane supporter because the price of youtube membership is a little too steep
Could you not make members only videos unlisted and put them in a playlist? That would stop them being shown on the front page, etc without removing member access to them completely.
What I find crazy is that I am a YouTube Premium user and yet, I still have to deal with this. I already pay YouTube money and yet they want more and bait me with this membership nonsense.
Thank you I often go back and watch videos I've missed and scrolling past members only has been hassle.
Thank you
yaaaas!! I never gonna buy sub
A bold move. Well done.

Didn't expect to see the Yogscast here
maybe you can create another youtube channel and dedicate it for members only content
YouTube literally asked me for feedback on my recommendations right after opening this video… guess even the algorithm’s self-aware now 😂
While there is no button to turn off "local regional audio" not even for the premium users. and I have to manually change to hear the original audio for every video.
5080 not 5090
It's genuinely terrible. I no longer come by the channel to check for videos that I might like. As in, since I'm selective of the videos I watch from LTT because my tastes have changed, and coming to find some interesting vids on the "videos" tab, only to be met by a wall of "Member's Only" is infuriating. So I stopped coming by. I don't check at all anymore. Paid content should have it's own tab, 100%. Other platforms do this already, whether it's facebook or instagram. If anything, give either creators or viewers the option to enable the paid tab, disable these paid videos from showing up on the regular "videos" tab. That just seems like a customizability thing to me. Some viewers might enjoy having it all in one tab, some won't. Regardless if they're already a member or not. A toggle is nice!
That is a shame.
IMO it's silly to blame the channel over a youtube change, and it's silly to take so much responsibility for it. The people saying it's killing their interest now understand why stuff like floatplane exists. If it bothers them so much, move.
Cause if it's not LTT, another channels members only videos will show there. Nothing changes but a few less channels having members only stuff.
I agree with you 100%
I didn't know you had more videos on the videos tab on youtube.
Member videos are way to annoying these days.
I tried to watch a creator that prereleases all videos to members, meaning his videos page has each video twice.
It was so annoying that I left.
Thank you for the change it was realy frustrating to get spammed with video I wasn´t allowed to watch
