I saw today new “merch” section below comments. I’m a premium users for a reason, I want 0 ads.

I just canceled my subscription and moved to yattee / invidious for good.

    Starts to seem to me that you’d get frustration more than anything else out of whatever you try to do to help or please or go along with rules of a digital/social platform company…

      No, I genuinely liked features that others hated such as AI summary. Do whatever you want but gimme that disable option.

      YouTube has done many good things and I see their platform is a god sent at least for me. But ads is where I draw the line.

      I feel they’re planning to reduce creators share of revenue and compensate them with promoting their merch.

        Yeah I wouldn’t argue against all the things YouTube has made possible to, benefitted and offered others. I have used YouTube actively too.
        There’s always good and bad to everything.
