    They really want to tv-ify web content huh? People left TV because they were sick of ads.

    I only have YouTube premium because I do not want a TV license and one is definitely cheaper than the other but the fuck man.

      Cable TV did not originally have ads. That was part of the reason that people started paying for it.

      What you are seeing is the natural cycle of content and greed.

      Not just them either. Netflix has an ad based tier now and I wouldn’t be surprised if other platforms have them too as they realise there’s a limit to how much they can realistically charge people. It seems like we’ve circled back to the start of cable

        Yeah i am totally fine with being showed ads or paying for an ad free option. I got YouTube red when it came out and never looked back. Plus they gave us Cobra Kai, which was amazing. I do wish they also included a “we won’t sell your data” option in that premium though
