  I’m sure Google employees get Premium for free

    They still probably use ad blockers for other sites though. It’s essential on the Internet these days.

    The number of malware or otherwise malicious ads is too damn high.

    Premium doesn’t have downvote count and sponsor skip.

    The pirated version of youtube is better than the paid one.

    Google should spend time improving their service instead of being assholes.

      Dislikes is why I left anyway! XD

      I even left ads on for nearly a year until a particularly metally hazardous on pushed me to turn them off, and I haven’t gone back since. On the occasion I use YT outside my ecosystem, it suddenly feels so much worse.

    It’s pretty sad how not having the money for it makes it unbearable, while all of them don’t need to experience it, disconnecting them from their practices.
