There’s a lite version that’s only for the ads.
It’s cheaper than the full 19.99.
While that might still be too much, I just wanted to point out that if you don’t want ads, it doesn’t cost the full 20quid.

fuck YouTube premium. why would I pay £19.99 when literally the only defining feature for me is no ads. all this will do is allow for more complex ad blockers to be made to bypass this

This was news to me so I went looking and couldn’t find it on youtube. Reading articles seems to indicate it is only available in certain regions and at certain times. I finally found the link to the page (www.youtube.com/premiumlite) and confirmed it’s not available for me in the US at least.

I pay for youtube premium because I watch a lot of youtube and it is easily worth the price. I paid $12 to see oppenhimer and that was only 3 hours. I watch way more than 3 hours of youtube every week.

The creators also get a good chunk of the money from premium as far as I’ve been able to verify (by asking some I follow directly).
