YouTube videos aren't paid products (and if you do pay there are supposedly no ads), so it's not the same thing. But regardless, the frequency of the ads is insufferable!
The paid service will start without ads, and then they'll put them in just at the beginning and end for a video, then they'll ad them in like they are now and blame rising operational costs.
The playbook has been out in the open for a while now.
We have an entire generation now that grew up seeing this happen everywhere. Its so blindingly obvious this is "just the way internet stuff works"
