Re:YouTube tests blocking videos unless you disable ad blockers

Guess I'm dumb, because I've been subscribed to YouTube premium for quite a while now. I watch it on many devices that don't have any way of installing ad-blockers (like streaming devices to TVs). Not to mention, that an "ad" on YouTube has no time limit. I remember back when I didn't subscribe of seeing an ad for marble countertops that lasted over 45 minutes. Seriously. So if I just put on a bunch of videos to watch that may be like 10 minutes each, in between may be a 45 minute commercial that I have to go and physically hit the skip button. Sometimes I like to fall asleep listening to soothing videos, only to be hit with a fricken 45 minute commercial that's LOUD in between.
Sure, guess I'm dumb. But I don't care. Subscribing gets me what I need.
