I saw today new “merch” section below comments. I’m a premium users for a reason, I want 0 ads.

I just canceled my subscription and moved to yattee / invidious for good.

    That’s a very extreme view, my friend. A lot of Youtubers come up with good products. For example, LevelOneTechs has come up with a pretty good KVM that a lot of mainstream companies haven’t been able to perfect. So I enjoy it when Youtubers advertise their merch.

      I think it’s worth it personally. I use it for hours everyday for YouTube and music , you can’t expect to be able to use a service ad free for free indefinitely and expect it to be able to survive. I think people are spoiled and want everything for free . I won’t pay for most streaming services just to barely use it . But if it’s a service I use alot I’m willing to pay for it . I wouldn’t even mind ads as long as they don’t interrupt or obscure the video . I do pirate things I don’t think are worth paying for .

        I think Youtube premium isn’t worth paying for. Streaming services provide content that cost millions of dollars to produce. Youtube hosts content that someone recorded in his basement in 10 minutes or so.

    Not an ad. This is literally just like linking the fanshop (say lttstore or gamersnexus shop) in the description.

    Rather it should be an option to disable shopping but I doubt google would do the work after integrating it.

      Well, I understand where are you coming from but this is not related to the video so still an ad.

      I’m not even following this channel.

      Also, no option to disable it afaik.

        I mean it is related to the creator and therefore to the video. An option to disable it would be nice, but I dont think this is as bad as watching actual ads
