YouTube is currently running what it describes as a “small experiment globally,” warning users to toggle off their ad blockers and avoid being limited to only three video views.

    I pay for Premium. I find YouTube insufferable without it. I do most of my watching on an AppleTV, so there aren’t great ad-blocker options (maybe a Pi-Hole, but I haven’t bothered). I feel like I need to put my money where my mouth is. I hate how much of the internet is ad supported, so if I can throw the biggest reason for that some money to support a different business model to prove “free with ads” is not the only way to make the internet work, I’ll do it.

    That being said, Premium comes with YouTube Music, which I never use. I wish there was an option to just remove the ads without any “value added” services.
