      They might be referring to people who have it occur due to a technical problem (needing to clear their cache or something). Other than that, tons of my friends and coworkers have Premium and they’ve never complained of ads, so I don’t think it’s a normal thing that occurs frequently.

        I believe they’re trying out different tiers of premium in certain regions (not the US). Lower tier premium has ads.

        Lol why are you getting down voted? Jeez lemmy users are sensitive about paying for an entertainment service.

          Youtube has been free for so long that people forget that hosting all those videos costs money. They’ll pay for so many streaming services but if you make Youtube anything but a free, ad-free paradise they lose it.

            I guess. I never had nor will ever pay for premium, but isn’t there premium content? How’s that any different than paying for patreon videos of content creators? YouTube just consolidated it.

              There’s premium content, no ads, the creator gets paid significantly more for your Premium view, and bundled YouTube Music.

              Yea, and while I don’t use it you also get Youtube Music bundled in.
