It’s especially weird because the one thing guaranteed to result in more ads is not paying. People spend a lot of money making content for YouTube and something has to pay for it.



We already have more ads. The "promise" is that, by paying, we will get no more ads. For now.

I didn't ask for that content. I don't understand why I have to pay it.


So do what I do and don’t watch it. Just don’t deprive the creators of revenue and then be indignant when everything is loaded up with ads and sponsored content because people need to pay rent.
