While I admire the valor in trying to get it undone under the privacy umbrella, Youtube can easily state that it is not a matter of privacy but a matter of DMCA (anti-circumvention mechanism) and at that point it a whole can of worm.
I genuinely believe this game of whack-a-mole would end if Youtube stopped being greedy and offered a simple plan, than offered ONLY no ads. No stuffing of other products like Youtube Premium or whatever the case may be. You can keep static ads like they used to be, but let me pay 6 or 7€ per month and just not have intrusive video ads.
- isaacfrond 3y agoThe DMCA is a US law, how could that be relevant?
- aneutron 3y agoIt's like using 'to google' instead of 'to search'. I was attempting to reference the DMCA-class of regulations about copyright protections

They just did that in several markets with the introduction of Premium Lite, which removes ads during video playback but doesn't include Youtube Music, background playback or offline downloads. Here in Germany it's 5.99 €. Nevertheless I think there's a significant part of the user base that will never pay for the product.
