I would actually pay for YT premium if it was reasonably priced and I think there are many like me. Why are they shooting themselves in the foot?

I'll never pay for until until 1. It's reasonably priced, 2. Downvotes are returned and 3 sponsor block is integrated into the app.

Sponsor block is not going to be included as those are not controlled by YouTube. They are the Chanel's sponsorship.

Well they need to do something because those sponsor segments are fucking ads.

[–] JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

They do have chapters which could allow creators to separate sponsor ads into a skippable segments. Some of them even actually do it.

It should be a requirement if they are being paid by Youtube
