I know, right? But I suppose their reasoning is that my ads are also blocked across the rest of their ecosystem, my subscription isn't covering those losses.

Still though, a model that requires that customers look at something they don't want to nor will engage with smells like failure.

I’m generally okay with the idea of “you can get it for free and we’ll include ads to pay for it, or you can pay instead”.

Where I’m definitely not okay is “you can pay, and we’ll include ads anyway.”

The sick twist is that I use Ublock Origin and won't ever pay for YouTube premium and I haven't experienced even the slightest issue streaming videos on YouTube. 😂
