Deemo,

I know this isn’t YouTube’s fault but one thing that bugs me about yet premium is when creators dump baked in ads.

As a user you have 3 options:

  1. Deal with it and manual skip (in a way this feels like skipping commercials on cable tv Dvr)
  2. Get ready to buy a ton of patreon subscriptions (kills the point of getting yt premium).
  3. Get a modded client/ use browser extensions and use sponsorblock

Now the one exception to this is nebula where like YouTube you pay an all access fee but no baked in ads (I pay for this currently).

I do wonder if creators had the option to make videos available via YouTube premium only (say early access and no baked in ads). Would more people pay and would creators use this system? (They wouldn’t have to worry about demonetization).

Curious on your thoughts
