I'd gladly pay for YouTube without ads if I trusted that it would remain ad free, but the track record from various companies on this is not good.

So pay now and stop paying if they introduce ads? It's not like it's a lifetime subscription.

I've been paying for it for a year+ for my girlfriend who was watching more ads than content and we've never seen ads since.

That's good to know. I was hoping for a reply like yours. I will subscribe. YouTube is an amazing resource for human kind and I agree those of us who can afford it should pay to support it.

Seems strange to me to support Google with your money from a moral perspective. It is a spyware company.
