I don't have adblock on my television so I can't avoid them.

And yeah I know I know, I should get YouTube Red. Still though, it's super noticeable and came out of nowhere starting Friday night.

Or it's like giving money to a service you're actually using regularly. I dunno how you can flip thinking you should get it for free into not being entitled. You use to have to pay for a service that came with commercials. Now people bitch when they get that service for free and only have to pay to have an even better viewing experience

Ive had YouTube premium ever since it was introduced at no additional cost due to having been a Google Play Music subscriber since beta.

I got kicked off my plan when they discontinued GPM in favor of YouTube Music, but I complained and Google was happy to give it back to me. $8/month and Ill never give it up.

My contribution is watching their ads, downvoting them and marking them all as irrelevant all the while i help feed their algorithm and give them data so they can serve me more ads to dismiss.

Ah alrighty, that's fair. I do use Ublock Origin on PC. But I do watch the majority of Youtube on my TV now. It's become part of my nighttime routine, and my wife likes putting it on as background noise during the mornings.

You can do both. It's literally the price of going out to eat once a month.

You just showed how that's not a sustainable business model. Dunno if that was on purpose. I bet Vine wishes they used ads.

You added no context, which allows me to create my own. So "one of these guys" means "Not as entitled as the lot of us".

I'm fine with ads as long as they can be skipped. The unskippable ones though are a cancer to the site. Especially considering they can potentially go on for far longer than 15 seconds (had one a few days ago that would have taken 2 minutes had I sat there instead of closing out the video like I did)

You got kicked off? They grandfathered me in. Ive always paid $10.
