Because you can block ads. I don’t want to watch anything with ads, my free time is worth more than that.

The thing is if, you couldn’t block ads on YT, I would probably get premium, there is no way I am watching their ads.

Note, I do subscribe to multiple “indie” content creators that I enjoy, but I am not watching ads on YT (or anywhere else).

The more we sub, the more they’ll make everything a sub. They’re eating your wallet with this crap.

I actually don’t mind the subscription model for content creators. I just wish Google (or any platform owner) would get a smaller cut due to a more competitive environment.

I would never pay to a service that is privacy intrusive.
