  But that’s the only benefit of premium (on YouTube itself). I guess there are still YouTube originals but that kind of died as far as I can tell.

    Yes. And? You think they care? Premium isn’t there to benefit you, it’s there to benefit Google. As soon as the profit margin drops, they’ll look for other ways to monetise. We’re already seeing it with streaming providers shoehorning ads into their paid services. It’s not that much of a stretch.

    The only benefit now, but what if they start to serve 30 non-skippable ads without premium and ONLY 5 with premium, what a deal! Right? If you hate ads you can just buy higher tier for ONLY $5 more.

    Let’s just keep fingers crossed for ublock…
