If the "ad-free" service features videos with inline ads, it's not really ad-free.
- jvolkman 3y agoThe inline ads are part of the content you're watching, not injected by YouTube. You may not like them, but there's a distinction.
- yjftsjthsd-h 3y agoYes there's distinction internally, but as the consumer I care that I'm getting ads more than the details
- mardef 3y agoIt serves the authors content ad-free. You can choose to subscribe to authors that do not place ads or sponsored content in their videos. When I dropped cable I started subscribing to dozens of channels and now have a pretty solid subscription list. Many creators I follow have dabbled in different forms of monetization, and I've preferred to stick with the ones that offer patterns or other methods of supporting them. I don't think it's fair to criticize googles product offering for the content creators choices

No, it serves the content without adding more ads of its own. > You can choose to subscribe to authors that do not place ads or sponsored content in their videos. If not consuming the content I wanted is a solution, I can just solve all the problems by not using youtube. That's not really a solution.
