God please no. YouTube premium shows what Google would do, i.e., they would further ruin the free experience by ramping up the amount of ads you see to "incentivize" the premium search.
- judge2020 5y agoPremium offerings like that are amazing simply for the fact that you can 'return' to the days where you obtained services by paying for them directly, not by looking at ads and paying with your mindshare. Google and YT aren't free services, and it's a miracle they continue to be accessible with ad blockers enabled.
- Jenk 5y agoOrthogonal to my point. Deliberately worsening the free experience after you introduced a premium service is a dark pattern for UX.
