The problem is, how these things sometimes go is: you are fed up of ads so you start paying them. Then a year or two later you get ads as a paying user too. There’s a long history of paid products doing this. Look at Windows, Smart TVs, etc…
- piva00 3y agoIn my case I was fed up with ads and subscribed to the YouTube Premium Lite offering 2 years ago, in September I got an email with: > Thank you for being one of our first Premium Lite members. > We’re writing to let you know that after October 25, 2023, we will no longer offer your version of Premium Lite. And so I refused to be nudged into a more expensive subscription, YT didn't give me any more information why that subscription wasn't being offered so fuck them, I will use ad blockers for as long as they work.
