I saw today new “merch” section below comments. I’m a premium users for a reason, I want 0 ads.

I just canceled my subscription and moved to yattee / invidious for good.

      I think it’s worth it personally. I use it for hours everyday for YouTube and music , you can’t expect to be able to use a service ad free for free indefinitely and expect it to be able to survive. I think people are spoiled and want everything for free . I won’t pay for most streaming services just to barely use it . But if it’s a service I use alot I’m willing to pay for it . I wouldn’t even mind ads as long as they don’t interrupt or obscure the video . I do pirate things I don’t think are worth paying for .

        I think Youtube premium isn’t worth paying for. Streaming services provide content that cost millions of dollars to produce. Youtube hosts content that someone recorded in his basement in 10 minutes or so.

          I feel like you haven’t used YouTube since 2010 because there are a lot of creators that put tons of work and research into the content they make and many have a full team of editors/writers . Just look at the content coffeezilla or Linus Tech tips make .
