I will do everything I can to never use YT with ads. If they show this shit to me I am out, looking for different solutions. And hell no, I am not supporting evil companies like Google with premium subscriptions. If I have to leave YT and only use Rumble and others video sites I will do that. So far yt-dlp is also a thing to just download and watch vids. The will never ever bully me into watching stupid ads. Creators now often have their in-video ad-reads, sponsors that I can not avoid yet. As soon as some AI comes out that filters out ad-reads I will use them for most stuff. If I want to support creators I do in a more direct way, and I am perfectly fine with admitting that this rarely happens. I do not think most of the shit I watch is very valuable, most of it is just a giant time sucker. I did not have any message like that, living in the EU. It's some limited roll-out. What I did have recently that videos were not starting and the time was displayed wrong and it seemed like they were loading after an ad that was not showing finished. Probably just some thing in the filter lists that needed to get fixed.
