I give it a year, tops, before they start serving ads in premium too.

But that's the only benefit of premium (on YouTube itself). I guess there are still YouTube originals but that kind of died as far as I can tell.
Update, they did it.
Kind of. If anybody signs up for that premium lite they're fools.
Yes. And? You think they care? Premium isn't there to benefit you, it's there to benefit Google. As soon as the money stops coming in, they'll look for other ways to squeeze it. We're already seeing it with streaming providers shoehorning ads into their paid services. It's not that much of a stretch.
The only benefit now, but what if they start to serve 30 non-skippable ads without premium and ONLY 5 with premium, what a deal! Right? If you hate ads you can just buy higher tier for ONLY $5 more.
Let's just keep fingers crossed for ublock...
It wouldn't shock me if they removed ublock origin from the chrome store
Just use Firefox. It's better as a browser, anyway.
I will when they finally fix dragging tabs between windows
Edit: I'm not saying the operation isn't functional, I'm saying it lacks certain small visual feedback aspects like popping a tab out into a new window while dragging. This in and of itself isn't breaking, but Firefox had a lot of rough edges like that every time I used it, and I'm using this specific one as a benchmark to judge if I should give the browser a shot again
Huh, what is the issue? Been working fine for me for years.

Are ads really that useful when the users subjected to them hate ads from the start?
Not to the advertiser, but to the one getting money for the ad.
