Ads are the unfortunate trade off we make to keep things free. I hate ads. I hate the idea of ads. Tailored propaganda to manipulate you into purchasing product just sounds awful… especially when it’s targeted at children (a demographic where advertising is especially effective).
I think YouTube’s current system is a fair deal. You either watch the content and pay by watching ads, or you pay by purchasing YouTube premium. If you don’t want to pay, and you don’t want to watch ads: leave.

- okdood64 3y agoI've had Premium for years. Never have seen a single ad.
- aezart 3y agoYou've never seen a "this video is sponsored by..." segment?
- okdood64 3y agoThat's not an ad in the context of this thread. It's something edited into the video by the creator themselves.
- perryizgr8 3y agoIt's an ad by any definition. If I'm paying to remove ads, but ads are not removed, whats the point?
