Twice as frequent and half as skippable maybe.
It’ll be like having visited a bad pornsite in the 90’s and your screen will end up being ads stocked on top of ads.
Might be the end kf the platform if that actually happens, there’s already an insufferable amount of ads as i keep getting these double ad blocks in a row.

Feels like they are shooting themselves in the foot. But, that’s capitalism for you. Bring predictably profitable is “not sustainable”. Share holders want more. Which for some reason, I don’t understand, directly leads to just a slightly worse money-grabbing product than what consumers are willing to pay. Prince, repeat, enshitification ensues.
I cancelled my Premium Lite yesterday (or rather, Google did, by no longer offering it). Installed the Revanced stuff. And suddenly, the YouTube app works much, much, better than when I paid for it. In-video sponsored content is automatically skipped. Gestures for controlling volume and brightness. Reducing the amount of “shorts”, etc.
