It's now a full-on global crackdown.

      I am on family premium for years.

        I can't even enjoy YouTube without being sent a 2-minute ad for a 15-second clip. Like, what the hell? Do you want me to watch shorts and rot my attention span even further?

        FYI, not requesting consent for adblocker detection is a violation of a law. I came across on r/piracy about that news.

            Good thing is that I've not noticed any of this with an adblocker. No matter what they do there will always be somebody coming up with a solution.

                The content on YT is overwhelmingly stupid, ridiculous silly videos.
                The vast majority of films promote and sell some content - they hidden advertisements. Should we pay for hidden ads?!
                There is not much valuable content, its literally 1-2% of the channels and I would prefer to support such creators directly, rather than by paying Google, which will then "kindly" share some of this amount with them.

                    Also these creators beg for subs and thumbs up that is really annoying while there videos mostly are reaction to other video creators or news where they on there own basically dont create anything. Only thing they create on there own is basically the ads they set in there videos that you cant skip

                      Maybe I'll pay for Youtube Premium when it really is only the price of the ad-free experience. I've never asked for their dogsh1t music streaming service.

                      I hope more Youtubers will start uploading ti Nebula.

                                  generally speaking, when i am forced to do something, i strongly dislike that.
                                  and about ads, intrusive ads makes me avoid advertised item (good products no need much advertising)

                                    Subscribing to YouTube is very expensive... I can pay $1 to subscribe for 1 year

                                      government of all countries should tax those ads, every single one of them,

                                      just us govt who got the money of these ads
