Honest question... why do you pay for Premium when you still get in-content ads?

Retric 5y ago
You only get in content ads on specific streams which are easy to avoid unless you think the content is actually worth it.

Sponsorblock with browser extension and on mobile with Vanced Youtube works quite well for more popular videos.

I have Premium and watch almost daily and can't remember the last time I saw an ad. Isn't that the whole point of Premium?

  It says in-content advertisement. Like the famous Squarespace advertisement. YouTube premium doesn't skip the in-content ads which content creator put in the videos.

    I press Right arrow key 3-4 times and it skips it.

At least host reads are usually somewhat related to the genre of the channel, and skippable.

You can use SponsorBlock on Firefox to skip those in-content sponsorships/ads/etc.

so I can watch youtube on my ipad without ads every 3 minutes driving me crazy. It was either get premium or give up on youtube, or maybe the ipad. I was already using google music, and then youtube music family (which sort of sucks at least in terms of app development), so this was more an incremental add-on.

what do you expect?? for YT to cut and sew the video that the creator make? just use your forward skip button ffs

Those are skipable, non-algorithmic, and fully at the discretion (and for the profits of) the creator. Its the non-skipable 1 minute adds on youtube on my TV (where addblocker does not work) that make my happy to have YouTube premium.

Not the person you're asking, but I am a Premium subscriber. In the niche I mostly watch (classical music performances) in-video ads are still quite rare--thank goodness!. So the Premium sub is still a benefit, esp. b/c before I subscribed, ads would suddenly run in the middle of a concert, which was incredibly annoying.
