Premium ads popped up a bit ago, there were several posts and articles about it. Apparently they’re also testing different tiers of premium like Netflix.
They might be referring to people who have it occur due to a technical problem (needing to clear their cache or something). Other than that, tons of my friends and coworkers have Premium and they’ve never complained of ads, so I don’t think it’s a normal thing that occurs frequently.
No, there was an article which said that youtube will put ads into premium which they consider important, in that article it was about another product of youtube. Gonna try to find that article
Youtube has been free for so long that people forget that hosting all those videos costs money. They’ll pay for so many streaming services but if you make Youtube anything but a free, ad-free paradise they lose it.
I guess. I never had nor will ever pay for premium, but isn’t there premium content? How’s that any different than paying for patreon videos of content creators? YouTube just consolidated it.
And yet ppl get ads with premium cuz youtube says fuck you
I don’t get any ads, what are you talking about?

Bro I don’t speak German but yea sure, I believe you. That does sound pretty shit, and I’d be pretty pissed if that happened, yea.
I believe they’re trying out different tiers of premium in certain regions (not the US). Lower tier premium has ads.
Lol why are you getting down voted? Jeez lemmy users are sensitive about paying for an entertainment service.
