I saw today new “merch” section below comments. I’m a premium users for a reason, I want 0 ads.

I just canceled my subscription and moved to yattee / invidious for good.

    Well, I understand where are you coming from but this is not related to the video so still an ad.

    I’m not even following this channel.

    Also, no option to disable it afaik.

      I mean it is related to the creator and therefore to the video. An option to disable it would be nice, but I dont think this is as bad as watching actual ads

      I’d argue it is related to the video, because the channel who is selling the merch also made the video you are watching.

        I am here for a submarine video not for the channel. If I want to support the creator, I can go to Patreon.

        I am fine if creators use the description section, but this giant section that I cannot hide, which is made by YouTube, make the difference.

        Your argument is like you drink Pepsi why are you upset if you see an ad from Pepsi.

      If you don’t sub to gamersnexus but look in the description and see the first line is their shop link.
      Is it then an ad?

        Advertisement:

        "a notice or announcement in a public medium promoting a product, service, or event or publicizing a job vacancy. "

        I’m not sure if a link can be considered an announcement, but otherwise based on the definition I would say it’s a gray area and could be argued either way.

        Although I would tend to say it isn’t an advertisement but a link to one.
