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!

        Plus the first-party app is atrocious. The third party ones are way better.

      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.

        No problem, I like supporting all the neat content creators I follow while others are happy to rip them off because they feel entitled to free content.

        And don’t give me the “support them on patreon” line because a) I already do and b) ain’t no way the majority of you who pirate YouTube are donating money to everyone you follow.

      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.
