Lemmy users when I mention I pay for Youtube Premium
(startrek.website)
Somehow paying for Netflix is fine but god forbid I want to watch a 10 hour loop of the DS9 intro without ads.
While I do get it, they shouldn't need those sponsors if I'm paying to watch their videos. If YT is injecting ads to pay them.
It's two sources of ads for the viewer, who can only pay to remove one of them
It's a shitty model for everyone.
I think the flip side to that is then thats your issue with the creator. Its between you and them wether you're willing to suffer their product placement.
If you imbed sponsor spots AND I have premium theres no way on gods green earth I'm buying merch or joining your patreon. Not unless your content is accurate predictions of lottery numbers for subscribers.
