Adding an insane amount of ads is a dark pattern to convince you into joining Youtube Premium. Which is crazy expensive by the way, 13,99 $/month
Honestly I bought YouTube premium through a VPN to turkey for that price for the entire year. Seems worth it.
I mostly wanted YouTube Music for my bedroom speaker, but if they're throwing in ad-free YouTube along with it, so be it.
AD Free YouTube is great tbh, it is generally a good experience no matter what device you use then throw in the claim it supports the content creators more seems like win win
