Comment on Youtube Abblock Reckoning as a service problem?

I think its ad model problem as it’s only “sustainable” through shitty practices that lead to ad blocking. Most people who get adblock do it because they’re just tired of ads and it should be this way. Small fair ans regulated ads are fine with almost everyone but greedy assholes would never give in for that.

This, I don’t mind ads besides my content, I despise ads replacing the content, multiple times, with the same ad I already saw.
I don’t mind paying for no ads, but not at those prices.

I tend to agree. Especially with midroll ads. And I also see YouTube Red/Premium/Plus as too expensive especially compared to free.
I wonder if it cost $1-$3 per month instead of $14 if they wouldn’t get so many more subscribers that they would still end up making more money.
Of course they would still be incentivized to slowly raise prices over time but I could be talked into $2 a lot quicker than $15.
