Premium just seems like too expensive a proposition for the casual viewer. I use an adblocker but if they made premium five bucks a month I’d probably just do it. And I think many people wouldn’t mind paying that to avoid ads.
They actually are in a position to do this.
Nobody is switching to let’s say PeerTube because of something YouTube does as long as not every creator is switching too
They are, but even YT won’t last forever. TikTok and IG are eating their lunch badly, and as YT continues to chase after that market and keeps neglecting and pissing off people that bring value to the platform, something just might crop up as an alternative.
I mean, a month ago many thought Reddit is irreplaceable, and now look around.
Begun, the AdBlocker Wars have.
It’ll probably end up being like twitch. You can either watch 5 minutes of blank or 5 minutes of ads. Either way, hopefully it won’t take yt-dlp long to be compatible. I mostly download my YouTube videos to a local server then search and watch them later just because my internet isn’t reliable. I assume this will soon become the only way to watch YouTube if you want to resist that idiotic propagandist.
People are blocking ads because ads are no longer effective

I looked up the article and it says they’re limiting users with an adblocker to 3 videos pet day. They’re testing it out on select users for now. Enshitification is killing all the sites I actually use(d) all at once

There’s always a backdoor.
