    This will be the death of YouTube for me. I pay for YouTube premium so this day may never come for me.

      That didn’t keep Amazon from adding ads to the paid version of Prime and making a higher paid tier. How much easier is it for Google to implement the same?

        And when that happened I stoped watching prime and just put on my eye patch & tricorn 🏴‍☠️…

        Though I’m still paying for the content I just watch it differently than intended 🤷‍♂️

          Seeks like a bunch of us chose to do the same. These companies actually believe there is no end to what they think they’re entitled .

        The correct question is actually “when will Google implement the same?” Because this is a “when will it happen” question, not a “will it happen” question.

      Not as bad as paying for Twitter, but close.

        The biggest reason I pay for it is supposedly creators I watch get paid significantly more than someone who sits through ads without skipping. I also don’t really watch regular TV.

          I mean, that’s why I’m on Patreon. But fuck YouTube.

            Yeah, I know it’s not an excuse but I’m lazy and this guarantees even the individuals I watch irregularly gets their share. I’ve heard it even pays out if it’s demonetized (don’t take my word on that one though.)

              Your heart is in the right place. YouTube’s just isn’t.
