    They should include sponsorblock with youtube premium, I won’t pay 12€ per month to watch more ads than on free tv. Youtube doesn’t even make their own content. 5€ max for youtube would be okay with no ads.

      YouTube cannot do that. YouTube’s content legal system does not allow this.

      That said, I use SponsorBlock and love it to the degree of finding it necessary depending on what type of content I am watching.

      Why do people hate YouTube Premium anyway? I don’t quite get it. I have had it since it was available in my country, and I love it.

      Also, I have to say I use the YouTube Vanced app with SponsorBlock and custom layout (no shorts, no uploads, no etc.) and YouTube Premium subscription. I don’t like the default YouTube app.

      So, I don’t know if I like YouTube or just the model and content/creators behind it.

          Yeah, I know that, XD but why?

          What makes it so that you think you should be able to get creators and their content, server capacity, and storage for free? Who should be paying for it in your mind? Who should eat the cost? The creators, the platform, or the user? or all of them to a degree? And who should be able to profit?

          I think it’s pretty clear that the end-user will carry most of the cost in the end.

      How is it relevant that youtube does little in house production. The revenue is passed to the creators anyway(by watchtime)
