Comment on YouTube's new ad strategy is bound to upset users: YouTube Peak Points utilise Gemini to identify moments where users will be most engaged, so advertisers can place ads at the point.

      I just pay for premium. Worth every penny with the amount of YouTube we watch.

        If you pay premium, then you have to be logged in and tracked and spied on and even more four data get sold. You pay them to sell your data!

        Thank you for giving Google money.

        With your endearing support, Google is paying less attention to us so we can continue getting the same content for free.

        I’m with you, paying is better than supporting the Ad business.

        I just wish YouTube did not treat paying customers like criminals with the app based restrictions.

  Yep - I legit haven’t seen an ad on YT in years. I also, just the other day, ran across another filter that disables the stupid shorts since I don’t care for that format or YT pushing it on me all the time. Almost usable platform now.
