> The content provider offers you two options: pay and get no ads, or watch for free and also sit through some ads. You're wrong in both parts. 1. There is no way to pay to only remove all ads. YT premium bundles some music nonsense and also doesn't remove ads added by creators. 2. "Watching" isn't part of the contract, only "injected ads" are. Do you read every billboard in exchange for the benefit of better roads financed with ad revenue?

You’re just factually incorrect on 1. Creator sponsors are not YT ads, by your logic i wouldn’t be allowed to watch a movie trailer on youtube because it’s technically an ad for something. What we choose to watch on youtube is also up to us.

  > Creator sponsors are not YT ads They are. YT shows content, and has several mechanisms of including paid ads in that content. From content consumption perspective there is no difference which specific mechanism is used. > by your logic i wouldn’t be allowed to watch a movie trailer No, that's your own twisted logic. By my logic you'd be free to consume directly whatever you want, just be able to "pay and get no ads"

    And what if I want to watch mightycarmods entire videos including their personal sponsorship segments? Are you just going to take that away from me? Stop fallaciously pretending they’re the same thing.

The music nonsense is bundled because YouTube is full of music videos and music in the backgrounds of videos and they have to pay the record labels to play the music in. They have "YouTube Premium Lite" that doesn't include music, but then you get ads on videos that have music in them.

  This makes no sense, it's not hard to filter out music videos, and music in regular videos wouldn't cost the same as the whole music premium, also Lite isn't just about music: > Ads however may appear on ... Shorts, and when you search or browse. So again, you can't pay just to replace ads. (By the way, there is another huge difference - premium is a subscription, so not tied to ad time replaced)

YouTube music is nice, though.

  It being "nice" does not negate the fact that there's no way to pay for _only_ ad removal.
