If the day comes when it's impossible to watch Youtube without ads I'll have to leave, despite how important youtube is for me currently. I just can't watch ads. It's impossible. I don't watch a single TV channel with ads, it's too painful. So, advertisement-supported "moving pictures" (or sound, for that matter - I never listen to radio channels serving ads either) is out of the question, with no exceptions for me personally.

Tv says there are plenty of people who will suffer ads.

Spotify free offer is also proof of that.

My understanding is you can pay a relatively small amount and get ad-free youtube. At least google ads. You'd still need sponsorblock.

That said I do like a well designed sponsor. Map Men for example, I'd rather not watch them.
