> I dislike the attitude of those who reject ads but also refuse to pay

And I dislike YouTube's hostile ad escalation in recent years. One ad - fine, two ads - hmmm, three ads - what the hell. Unskippable ads. Inappropriate ads. Loud-ass eardrum ripping ads. Ads even on Premium.



I have premium but don’t see any ads, except the sponsorships of the creators themselves. Which is a bit annoying but not a lot YouTube can do about.


I don't know maybe auto skip on them for premium users? I have an extension that does just that, surely google can do it too


>not a lot YouTube can do about. //

They've tried? It seems like it would be pretty easy to detect ad sequences in larger channels.


And even if you get rid of the ads, the sponsored content is not going anywhere.
