    Adding an insane amount of ads is a dark pattern to convince you into joining Youtube Premium. Which is crazy expensive by the way, 13,99 $/month

      Honestly I bought YouTube premium through a VPN to turkey for that price for the entire year. Seems worth it.

        I mostly wanted YouTube Music for my bedroom speaker, but if they’re throwing in ad-free YouTube along with it, so be it.

          AD Free YouTube is great tbh, it is generally a good experience no matter what device you use then throw in the claim it supports the content creators more seems like win win

        Absolutely. Infinite growth demands more and more. Always. Fuck the customer, increase shareholder value this quarter!
