No I won't pay for premium because even if I pay for it I still get ads in the content itself.
Fix that and then I'll pay.
Until then I just block the ads and the sponsors.
I don't like ads either. Who does? I really don't mind unless they are hard-cut and aren't made by the creator themselves. What's your solution here? A new policy that prevents creators from doing sponsor spots? We all know what the result of that would be.
so you just dont think people making video content should make money in any way? if you hate ads that much dont watch any creators that have sponsored content. oh wait, the only way they can make videos that good is because they make money and are professionals. doh!
YT makes it easy to skip embedded ads now. They mark places where people skip past and shortcut it so you don't need to watch them.
