Eight dollars a month for fucking "premium-lite" is insane.
The only problem I have with the premium subscription is the lack of ad control from the content creator. They should have to put them into some kind of wrapper that I, as a premium member can decide to enable or not. As a paying subscriber I should be able to watch it 100% ad free without going through sponsorblock, which is a big pita to do on set-top boxes.
I will sit through ads of the people I watch that are small and trying to make a buck above YT's pittance. OR, maybe YT could share a little of that sweet sweet profit with them and then not allow them to do their own ads (hahahahaha)
Sponsorblock built in would be nice.
It's built in on free apps that block the rest of the ads.
