Technically you’re right. They collect data on me and my behavior and then sell access to my screen real estate in an abstracted way. I am more than willing to pay for services in exchange for being exempted from adsense, and from being tracked and profiled across the net. But I’m going to fight back when I’m the product. Youtube premium doesn’t offer that option- they will continue to collect data on my behavior even if they don’t show me advertising, because they don’t want to make public the true nature of the exchange.
