    I’m pretty happy paying for YouTube Premium; it seems like a fair deal given how much my family uses YouTube. But I’m worried that sooner or later YouTube Premium is gonna get Google Graveyarded, or they’re going to insert ads anyway.

      Youtube premium is a very short sighted band-aid solution. Because the more people sign up for it early, the more expensive and/or less convenient it will become later when the ‘market is saturated’ (meaning there’s no one left who wants to sign up for it). When they can’t grow their income through more users, they’ll ramp up prices and shave off services. It’s happening everywhere already and in the end you’ll wish everyone advocated for adblockers a little more because by the time you’re fed up with their pricing, it might already be too late to go back.
