    Sadly, YouTube TV doesn’t include YT Premium.

    Which is the weirdest shit imaginable to me.

    In any case, adverts on the pause screen should be banned.

    The entire advertising industry is long overdue for a massive clapback and course correction, because it has infested every inch of waking life.

      I get it but how else do you expect them to be able to host all these videos and make them globally available? For free? Ad free? Private donations? It’s an incredibly useful service that for some reason people can’t stand to pay for.

        I think the big reasons for most people boil down to one or both of two things:

        A) People having 0 trust in Google. I.E. people do not believe that paying for their services will exempt them from being exploited, so what’s the point?

        B) YouTube’s treatment of its content creators. Which are what people actually come to YouTube for. Advertisers and copyright holders (and copyright trolls) get first-class treatment, while the majority of content creators get little to no support for anything.
