Im down with paying for YouTube. I use it a lot, and loath ads. I also don’t wanna get attached to another third party client just for it to be taken away. Especially one that is breaking TOS or otherwise not using an official API
They can’t keep raising the prices though. It’s already at a limit really.
Also, the “rewards” that message proffers are bullshit. Just like the rewards that Google One has.
It’s kind of insulting. Like I said, I’ll pay because the money ends up with creators. And many creators say it’s more that ads get them. But puffing up bullshit rewards? Fuck off.
That’s the seek/fast forward button though. Or did you want the platform to be super hostile to it’s creators by automatically removing any sponsor spots in the video?
Yeah, so far those are generally acceptable. If they ever get out of control tho… it’ll be on the creators accepting them. And then those creators will hopefully lose their audience.
If YouTube ever decides to allow for the locking of seeking in selected sections of the timeline, you’ll know we are on the darkest timeline.

If I can pay to remove ads I will. Next is ad blocking. If I can’t do that, I won’t use your service and pirate your shit.
You want the platform to have an option to remove in video ads?
I want to be able to pay to remove ads, yes. I won’t use a service that won’t let me remove ads.

Oh, I see what you mean. Sponsored ads. Nah, I either ignore those or skip through them. Somehow I don’t find them as frustrating.
