I’d rather not use youtube than give them money for it or even sit through their intrusive ads. There are infinite ways to entertain myself.

I mean… that is the point.

Pay for premium, watch ads, or don’t watch at all. You and Google are both in agreement.

I specified intrusive ads. They could have non-intrusive ads, like a little banner or something. Instead they put up multiple video ads before and during videos. No thanks.
