    People pay for all the other streaming services, god forbid YT wants to have you as a customer instead of a product.

    As long as it’s a vote for Google to move away from ads (and they don’t pull a hulu and start showing ads anyway), and it continues being one of the better ways to send money towards artists and creators, I’m down.

        Right, but the same applies to literally any other company that has graced modern earth. That’s not a matter where you can still pick a candidate to vote with your wallet for, and I’m not pirating the content of honest artists and youtubers if there’s an alternative.

        That it’s currently a step away from the fiasco that is the ad-driven internet, is a bonus. Besides, for how long is collecting marketing data on people who’d rather pay to not to be marketed to, gonna be the profitable option?
