Comment on As a long-time user hearing YouTube wants to play ads when I pause a video
Fleppensteijn@feddit.nl 6 months agoTbf the only reason I know that YouTube has paid subscriptions is because of threads like this one, so it doesn’t seem like they’re really pushing their paid service.
Maybe they’re only targeting people who, for some reason, don’t block ads, and that’s why I’m unaware, but they should offer a little more than the things you can get for free already (no ads, downloading) if they want to draw in the adblocker crowd too.
Now people will start to google what’s up with all those ads and end up installing uBlock.

They definitely push it. The mobile app has popups advertising it etc.

I must be out of touch.
I didn’t think I’d need an app to visit YouTube.
