It’s not some ads. It’s like 90% of ads.

Whenever I use someone else’s account or am not logged in I’m shocked by how ad filled YouTube is. Easily my most automatic subscription and worth every penny.

The creators typically have one 30 second spot where they often do a humorous riff. Not that big a deal.




Sounds like you value youtube premium because of what it doesn't show more than what it does.

Google: "Pay the monthly fee to avoid getting slapped in the face with a wet fish."

You: "worth every penny!"


What? We’re talking about the ads so that’s what I’m talking about here.

Sometimes this site is obnoxious.


What?

You went from talking about ads to calling this site obnoxious? First of all, if you found my comment obnoxious, it's not "this site" that's obnoxious, it's this user!

My comment was mild. I find the increase in ads on youtube to be obnoxious. You find value in Premium, because you don't suffer ads. It's a fair call to wonder whether the value you find comes from "not seeing obnoxious levels of ads" vs anything else, such as the quality of service offered under premium.

End of the day: my criticism is directed at Google, for encouraging clickbait spammer content; increasing intrusive ads and charging too much in order to not suffer those increasing ads.
