Wake me up when they start showing ads to premium users.
If you are not paying for a product, you are the product.
- chabes 3y agoThe solution isn’t to pay YouTube either
- chris72205 3y agoIt might be coming soon... they've rolled out this terrible screen saver functionality to premium users (sans ads for now).
- codedokode 3y agoToday usually you are paying for the product while being the product at the same time (example: ads in smartphones, Windows).
- dleslie 3y agoAlso, basically all Prime services.
- globular-toast 3y agoIt's been that way for ages. I was genuinely shocked as a child when I learnt people who paid for satellite TV still got ads, but apparently this is normal and nobody else seemed bothered. Who can blame them for double dipping when nobody cares?
- brutus1213 3y agoPay for premium. On my work machine, I don't co-mingle my personal accounts. it is impossible to watch lectures with the amount of ads.
- sunaookami 3y agoIf you are paying for a product you are still the product. Google still tracks and monetizes your data.
- digging 3y agoYes, the above is wildly outdated. In 2024, human data is the only product.
- lifestyleguru 3y agoThis a cliche of the same magnitude as wealth trickling down. You can still be a product, while paying for the product.
- hnburnsy 3y agoDon't you still dislike the in content promotional segments?
- Workaccount2 3y agoI can easily skip it
