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.

Youtube premium has remained adfree as far as I know.

Best to try it out yourself. I can't watch Youtube with Ads ever anymore.

If a 100% Ad-free youtube premium at the current price point ever went away, something would have to change about the ads.

Nah, Firefox with ublock origin is better than giving money to google.

You also give money to the creators you watch by watching ads or watching with YouTube premium.

You also can't block ads on iPhones, which a majority of the developed world uses. My girlfriend has never watched a YouTube video on something other than an Apple device for example.

People really live like this... ? Like those who watch movies on their phones lmao.

Also, Brave works on iphone -> m.youtube.com adfree :)
