“Surprise”

It’s a ‘Feature’ 😏

Oops, that test hit 80% of customers, was supposed to be 20%.

Give it six months, maybe a year. There WILL be ads in YouTube premium and you’ll have to pay another premium on top of that for ad free.

This only makes sense if watching for free with ads wasnt an option, if they wanted more money they would just raise the cost of premium

"No midrolls"

Now could they please fix the blatant advertisements disguised as “Featured” bullshit? I have zero interest in football, I’ve marked it as don’t show me a billion times.

Closed as WAI. They were testing the waters.

Don't use Youtube if you're going to be giving them a cent. Ublock Origin on PC works well enough, Newpipe is good for Android devices. Newpipe has every single feature that I ever had to see a Youtube premium ad for, and I'm not exaggerating in the slightest.

Is the issue that there are people paying for YouTube Premium?
