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 .
  
  How much easier is it for Google to implement the same?
  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.
  
  I stand corrected.
- I pay for YouTube premium
  Not as bad as paying for Twitter, but close.
  
  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.
  
  supposedly creators I watch get paid
  I mean, that's why I'm on Patreon. But fuck YouTube.
  
  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.)
  
  I know it’s not an excuse
  Your heart is in the right place. YouTube's just isn't.
- There's dozens of us. Dozens!
