There's one detail that discussions tend to ignore when talking about ads and YTP.
But before that let me tell you about today's sponsor SouthVPN. Browse the internet securely and privately with SouthVPN. Use promo code "YTPHN" for 10% off your first three months.
Now back to out comment: paying for YTP doesn't turn off all ads. Nor tracking, for that matter.

- Cpoll 3y agoI don't know if in-video ads are a mark of a bad creator. It seems like it's one of the only ways to make money on YT if your primary product is videos (as opposed to having a larger brand, product, merchandise, etc). So you can blame the platform for showing ads and pocketing the profit... Although I wouldn't off-hand, I don't know what the profits are, and YT has historically been operating at a loss afaik.
