It makes me sad your comment is being downvoted. If people aren't happy with ads, they aren't happy paying for anything, then what's the alternative? I don't see any. Those people need to get paid for their work somehow.


...or he got downvoted because it’s a solution that doesn’t work for all (I haven’t downvoted). I tried to subscribe to premium, but there’s no such option for me. It’s not available in my country.


It's getting downvoted because paid options grow ads, like most cable channels did. (Not all of them. I think TCM is still ad-free.)

Plus, a comment sibling to this one said YouTube Red has ads, so there's that.


What does grow ads mean? FUD?

YouTube Premium is ad-free, it says so in their frontpage. Are you saying that's a blatant lie?

That doesn't address my point that content producers should get paid.

From YouTube Premium ad: "Ad-free YouTube, and our new music streaming service, YouTube Music. Services: No ads, Downloads, Background play."
