what makes you think you are entitled to using youtube for free? The ad-free experience in Premium is great.
And don't forget they are paying a huge sum to the content creators as well - it is a delicate balance.
- FartyMcFarter 6y agoI find it annoying that lots of content creators still put sponsored ads in their videos which are shown to me as a premium user. IMO those should be skipped automatically when Premium, but alas...
- ZephyrBlu 6y agoI'm not why you expect YouTube to skip sponsorships which are directly integrated into the video... Also, content creators do it because brand deals are generally a big chunk of change.
- FartyMcFarter 6y ago> I'm not why you expect YouTube to skip sponsorships which are directly integrated into the video... As a user, I don't care how or why the ads appear - they're ads regardless.
- actuator 6y agoI don't think YT should interfere. As I see it, YT is a pipe for content. If you pay for it through ads/subscription you are paying for the pipe not just the content. The content creator should be free to monetize their videos as they choose to like TV channels can show ads for a TV show.
- FartyMcFarter 6y agoBut I'm not just paying for the pipe. Part of my money already goes to content creators.
- SomewhatLikely 6y agoIf things were set up correctly you'd expect the content creator to want to use YT's ads. They can be personalized to the user, can change over time, etc. The fact so many embed their own ads shows some failure in the system IMHO.
