Looks like I'll finally get a reason to cut off another website I hate using, but never found the willpower to get rid off.
Good
I'll buy premium when they finally manage to either prevent adblocking entirely or make it sufficiently inconvenient. Stopping using YouTube is not an option for me and neither is watching ads. YouTube (along with porn) is the internet for me. If I'm not viewing either content, I'm probably not on my computer.
Hell, I don't even blame them. I can't morally justify blocking ads and viewing their content for free. I do it because it's easy and I get away with it. I don't believe in ads-based business model and that basically leaves subscribtion as the only viable alternative. Not paying and still using the service isn't exactly practicing what I preach.
I'm not giving google a dime, they take enough from me that I should be paid to use their shit. I'll just download what I want to watch, it's not really much of inconvenience.
