> I WAS a YouTube premium member until recently, but dropped it because of crap like this. That doesn't follow. How would you see ads if you're a YTP member? You standing up for a freeloader? Their annoyance is your annoyance? > it's a dick move to annoy users into paying you What else should they be doing? You an advertising genius? Maybe cut off free youtube entirely? Only a free hour a day? Show me someone else that's in the same situation, by order of magnitude, and doing a better job by your standards. Come back to reality, mate. Server bills (repair, licensing, etc) and rent and people running the servers and dear god so much else needs to be paid. YT is providing a service, a service that ain't free.
