Either watch ads or pay for Premium

Unfortunately though it is 'pay for Premium and still watch ads'. So many videos have the ads baked in by the content creators. Yes, you can manually seek forward, but that's annoying and defeating the purpose of Premium. Especially for the price they ask in my country.

Either watch ads or pay for Premium. Or don't watch Youtube. Those are the three choices most people will have. And it's Youtube's right as a private platform to give them those choices.

I fully agree, never suggested otherwise. But fortunately free speech allows us to have an opinion about a product.

I get what you're saying, and yes, sponsored segments can be pretty annoying, even if it's up to the creator how annoying they are. Either way, I just run SponsorBlock, so I can skip those segments with one click.
