      I would of if there was a family tier that plays YouTube without ads in my country. The content I watch is good and authors deserve payment IMO. Sadly there is currently no competition, there are some marginal subscription services and there is peertube which doesn’t have monetization.

        The ad revenue YouTube gets should be paying the content creators, no?

            I agree. I guess I don’t watch YouTube enough for it to be a big burden. Just mute it for a few seconds.

              If it was only few seconds. At best you can skip after 5s but then you get plenty of 15-50s ads every 5+ minutes or so with some videos. It makes it almost impossible to watch it.
