Why should they be free though? Outside a capitalist economy sure, but the way things are people need to make money. Premium gives a much larger cut to the channels you watch than regular ad watching anyway.
Enjoy paying the rest of your life (or until you’re done with YouTube) a subscription to remove ads. It’s basically cable Tv for you, until they start adding ads to you anyway. The profit must grow, a company must grow, they will show you ads again.
You gave them your finger, they’ll be coming for your arms.

Will do. I pay monthly for services I use a lot less than I use YouTube, I get to easily support creators I watch and I get YouTube Music on top of it.
If they change the deal then I’m free to change my mind, it’s not like I’m forced to stay subbed if they add back ads, but as far as today goes I’m not gonna get all twisted up over a hypothetical.
Yeah I am really confused why people are mad. Sure it sucks that something was free with no ads now has ads/isn’t free. But was it not obvious that YouTube is unsustainable without adding some kind of income, ads or subscription charges? This day was always coming. I am actually kind of surprised how long it took for YouTube to start combating ads blocks.
YouTube for all its faults, is an incredible service. I know of no alternative service like it. It costs money to run YouTube why should they provide it for free?
I have YouTube premium it’s great. I don’t understand why everyone is so mad.
Are you reaching for a username joke here or
Not everyone wants to pay for features that should be free anyway

Because fuck ads and fuck multi billion dollar companies and their enshittification of the internet.

That’s really melodramatic. Pretty sure my soul will remain intact, but I guess I’ll take the risk anyway hahaha
