I could tolerate ONE ad per video, at the beginning, but 3 or 4 ads in a less than ten minute video? Fuck that.
- You see YouTube is a American company and in America every thing is extreme you ether have a lot of ads or no ads you can have a extremely massive car or a cat that's soo small it doesn't exist
  
  But... But... What If I want a large cat and a tiny car?
  
  I want my leopard riding shotgun in my smart car.
  
  I want to get a joint account with my mother fuckin' Jaguar
  
  Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

  Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
  
  I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

  That's some 'Talladega Nights: Tokyo Edition' vibe you got going there and I approve!
- I could only tolerate ElectroBoom-style "This video is sponsored by oscilloscope company" ads.
  
  Don't forget the gold confetti
- That's the thing.
  
  You're already proud to lower your standards, why not lower them further?
  
  I really care about your opinion. It's very important to me.
  
  Something tells me you only care about ideas that don't criticize you.
  
  Buh bye.
  
  Hey man, it's your time and money.
  
  Spend it how you want to.
- I could tolerate one ad per month, but only when it does not start with "This is Max. Max wants to..." like the viewer has an IQ below 20.
- The whole reason is to either make it so annoying that you switch to their paid service or get as many ad dollars into the shortest amount of time possible either way. This is just greed to squeeze as much out of the consumer before they break us.
- Don't the content creators choose where to place ads?
  
  I have no idea.
- Straight up what made me switch to YouTube premium was a bit of a 2 pronged thing really
  
  They started including Google Play Music with it, and then I got an unskippable 1 hour ad in front of a video that after I reloaded the page I got the same ad again.
  
  Edit: I don't have an issue paying for a service if the price is right. I got what I wanted for I price I'm willing to pay.
  
  So basically you let them bully you into giving them money lol
  
  Basically I saw it as "I already pay for Spotify, I might as well get rid of ads consistently and get music streaming for the same cost."
  
  I still think Google Play Music was better than YouTube Music currently is though.
  
  Edit: Thinking back on it it was called YouTube Red when I signed up, it's been a long time.
  
  They bundle YT Music in your subscription because they wanted a share in music streaming, invested in an infrastructure on their platform and then realized that their service doesn't offer enough to make people want to use it over their competitors' music streaming services. Instead of taking that loss or making their service worth using, they bundle the shit nobody wants with what everyone needs and use that to justify a price hike.
  
  If there was a basic subscription that just removes ads on the videos I click on without any other useless crap attached to it, I would pay for that. But no, it's predatory, anti-consumer bullshit, so I just block their ads.
  
  Everything you just said, all of it, makes no fucking sense whatsoever.
  
  Which part doesn't make sense?
