    This will be the death of YouTube for me. I pay for YouTube premium so this day may never come for me.

      That didn’t keep Amazon from adding ads to the paid version of Prime and making a higher paid tier. How much easier is it for Google to implement the same?

        And when that happened I stoped watching prime and just put on my eye patch & tricorn 🏴‍☠️…

        Though I’m still paying for the content I just watch it differently than intended 🤷‍♂️

          Seeks like a bunch of us chose to do the same. These companies actually believe there is no end to what they think they’re entitled .

        The correct question is actually “when will Google implement the same?” Because this is a “when will it happen” question, not a “will it happen” question.

        The biggest reason I pay for it is supposedly creators I watch get paid significantly more than someone who sits through ads without skipping. I also don’t really watch regular TV.

            Yeah, I know it’s not an excuse but I’m lazy and this guarantees even the individuals I watch irregularly gets their share. I’ve heard it even pays out if it’s demonetized (don’t take my word on that one though.)
