The longer commercials will appear in place of two consecutive 15-second ads.

The company will also show ads when you pause videos.

*Searches on how to perform life saving CPR*

See video results.

But first, a word from our several unskippable sponsors along with a YouTube Premium trial offer I've continued to decline hundreds of times.

Such unholy garbage. :/

This. If you don't know CPR, searching for videos is a waste of time even if you don't have ads.

Lol paying $12 a month just for no ads on youtube.

That's more than some subscription services with content.

A family plan is like $3 a month in Turkey. You just need to use a VPN to do the initial sign up/free trial. After that it's just your normal account wherever you're at.

This argument is always made and it's really fucking dumb.
Learn now if you actually give a shit.

Anyways, I support youtube moving towards a working business model. I wish more people would just pay so we could collectively tell advertisers to suck a dick.

I've watched more youtube than any other streaming service. Acting like a little bitch because they're trying to get some money from folks that have become entitled over a GLORIOUS and free service is pathetic. Get gud.

I watch more YouTube than any other streaming service by a wide margin. Given that Premium felt like pretty good value for money.

Yeah, same. I realized I barely used Spotify but watched a ton of Youtube, so it made more sense to sub to that instead of Spotify.

I have youtube or youtube music on for 16 hours a day. I'd go crazy if I had ads pop up every other song or video.

I remember Argentina being something like $10 for a yearly sub.

It's difficult in finding pre-purchased credit in that country though.

Wish I was a bit more well informed on how to do these regional discounts.

My Steam library would love me for it. :)

I will never stop skipping in-video ads via Youtube Sponsorblock.

They farm my browsing and data to sell for profit and I don't see a fucking dime of that money so they can kiss my ass.

My brother in christ, adblockers only exist because we all know there will never be any legislation. Ads have been out of control for years. It's not going to change.

It's a service I end up using for the majority of my day/free time, I figured why not just pay to not see ads. It helps the people I'm subscribed to as well, I'm pretty sure.

It'd be different if I only use the thing like once a week or less often.

I recall you can block ads on an iPhone, but given Apple's tight control over the platform there's a good chance that won't be the case forever.
