YouTube is running an experiment asking some users to disable their ad blockers or pay for a premium subscription, or they will not be allowed to watch videos.
I pay for a youtube premium family plan. Best money I spend monthly. I want to support the youtube creators that I watch, I don’t have to see ads (I block them anyway), and I get a music service included.
I’m with you … except for the music part. I think their music service is so awful, I pay for a Tidal subscription even though I get YouTube Music for free.
I’m of the belief that if I’m going to use a commercial site regularly, and they have a reasonable subscription, then I’m very willing to pay.

Yay for you?
revanue from yt premium views is like 1000x from ad views. that’s probably only going to get larger.
if you dont believe in paying for your media then you give power to the advertisers.

But in either case, ima going to block ads.
