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.

    An ad is an ad. If YouTube premium’s point is to remove ads then this should be included. Otherwise what’s the point? We should all just go back to using ad blockers.

    We should not pay for content twice. Viewing ads is paying for content. Paying for premium is paying for content.

      It’s less ads and more your youtuber’s shop… you pay YouTube premium to get rid of their ads but you don’t pay your content creator… maybe if there was a subscription patreon-like it would be equivalent.

        it’s an ad for the shop. i paid for no ads. i didn’t pay for “no ads except those we think you’d like to see”, i paid for no ads.
