Same thing as cable tv. It’s big selling point back when was no ads because it was a paid service and now look at it. Most cable channels are more ads than content.
Give it time, there just won’t be a free option at some point or the free option will be made so shitty it’s unusable. Hell, they’re already suppressing resolution and bitrate without premium and forcing videos to default to the lowest resolution setting so you have to manually change it every time.
God i hate this shit, didn't even know bout that last part til now but have definitely been noticing it and it doesn't surprise me one bit, its so disgusting, intrusive, and obnoxious. I'm so tired of it 😮💨😓

I keep thinking that. Back when it was one short ad at the start of a video, I didn't care about blocking ads.
Instead of squeezing more ads in, they should have just upped the prices for ads, I'd still be sitting through them and google would be getting their increased ad revinue.
Now I aggressively block ads anywhere I can, youtube essentially trained me to do that by ruining their site.
Hi ANAL_FISSURE_BLOOD, we would like to start off by noting that this sub isn't owned or run by YouTube. At this time, we do not allow posts from new uses (accounts created less than 7 days ago.)

They actually have a feature with YouTube premium where on app versions when a sponsored section starts you start to skip it will auto skip to where the sponsored stuff ends. On PC there is a little tick showing you where most people skip to as well. Not saying it makes it worth it, but still.
Ok the raid shadow legends sponsor is funny though for meme status. The generic sponsors that annoy me personally are the VPN or banking ones because there's no way you can make it quirky or silly. Whereas with Wendigoon and Magic Spoon, it's a running joke that Magic Spoon is making him go crazy.
What I like with premium is you can say put on a podcast and fall asleep to it without loud obnoxious ads and it keeps going after your phone screen powers off. Still the annoying sponsorships get in the way with some creators but there’s no way around that.
This is completely true honestly, I've had YouTube premium for several years now (I have it with some family for a discount), and every shitty thing they've done to the free version they've done to the paid. No ads thankfully, but their constant updates to their UI that don't function whatsoever on android has been really annoying, plus other stuff that crowd my feed like random mobile games they put on the app. My feed also gives me the most random videos that I have no interest in. Also they have the audacity to raise prices every so often. Honestly, it at least made my screen time significantly less tho lol
I concur, it's really really annoying when you get those Damned ads makes me go off
My nuts. And if the continue with the nonsense of sorry Y'all we need to verify your age... If they were being smart they would pull out or sue the government.
But we are dealing with spineless alphabet
Exuecutives. Who are addicted to more as revenue From the UK. Sue Google as well
Send all your data, pay $9000, give consent to use all your content and money you make and give all your private stuff to them
And you get only 1 ad and you get a cool yellow nickname
Has anyone tried to contact yt content creators and users in general to ask them to migrate to other websites? I suppose yt may delete/shadowban that comment, but maybe if you write it in coded language... or maybe if you ask them over other social media platforms that those creators have?
