If adblock stopped working I would leave, which is interesting to me as I wonder what I'd do with my new time.

Funny I make YT videos too trying to build an audience, I'd like to not put ads on it but not my choice

I don't understand how people can just accept ads it drives me insane when some random shit starts playing

I already lost money with YT, I bought so many UHD movies on their platform ($20 ea) and they won't stream it in HD unless you're on a supported device or ad-ridden tv

edit: alright, aftrer seeing it's $13 I will get it, I have been converted

Well, no one pushes YouTube to give free services right? Come on, make us pay for it! See what happens.

You can pay for Youtube and you won't get ads.

I thought you still got ads guess I'll find out

I'll compromise, I'll get premium but still have my adblock

you don't get ads from Youtube. the people you watch may still say sponsored stuff.
