  1. I used to happily subscribe to premium. Then I got my account banned in 2020 for engaging in what I thought was free conversation about current political issues. They'll never have a penny from me again. Alt platforms have grown hugely since then, incidentally.

  2. Like millions of other I got my account banned back in 2020 for engaging in open political debate. No abuse. No hate speech. No naughty words. Just plain up because I was pointing out facts favourable to one candidate and unfavourable to the other. And I was even a Premium subscriber at the time. They burned their bridge with me at that moment and I shall laugh as they disintegrate and let someone else take their place.

  3. Well they still explain the product and the product is probably fine, but the young couple opening their new bank account now are always black lesbians so it kind of alienates me to be honest.

  4. YouTube have never really been about giving users control over what they watch. Even the simple ability to sort your subs alphabetically.... This isn't an oversight, they deprive you of that feature on purpose. They must have got a lot of complaints when they removed the "sort by oldest" button on the Videos tab, because you may have noticed that disappeared for a few months and came back again. It's such a useful feature, I see no reason to remove it in the first place.

  5. I actively hate adverts. I literally refuse to even look at the screen until the skip button appears. And if I can't skip, I will refresh the page over and over until it's gone and I'd rather do that for 30 seconds than be subjected to the soulless woke subversive tripe they want to feed me. If an ad comes on for a product I respect then I will watch it, but that's extremely rare. I suspect I'm in a tiny minority who still have the freedom of mind to behave this way.

  6.  @bassmeo3937  Because we know that when a creator shows us an ad in their video, they are getting most if not all of the ad revenue for it.

  7. There's nothing wrong with a free service using ads to stay free. It's just that YouTube are such censorious asshats and many of my preferred creators get demonwtised. In any case, the ads they serve me are usually subversive woke degeneracy. So to hell with 'em.

  8. It's been known for a long time that when you get "dominetised", YT still puts ads on your channel. The creator doesn't get paid that's all. It's the same BS we see everywhere that's all. Because YT is run by the same censorious Californian progressive milennials that most big tech is.

  9. If they weren't such censorious turds, I'd be happy to put up with a few ads.
