I saw today new “merch” section below comments. I’m a premium users for a reason, I want 0 ads.

I just canceled my subscription and moved to yattee / invidious for good.

    I feel like calling this an ad is a stretch, I get it ads suck. I hate ads, too. This is just the merch of the channel you clicked on, though. It’s fine, I don’t have it in me to care about a few images below a part of the user experience I never look at.

    I hate ads with my whole heart because it doesn’t actually support the creators but come on man merch is directly supporting the creators. Most of them prefer if you support them through that even LTT says they got more support from merch.

    This is just an merch ad from your subscribed channel. I rather see these ads than some random ad pops up every 2-5mins.

    That’s fine because it’s not toxic. Ads randomly show up between videos are tend to be harmful, so that should not be seen.

    Starts to seem to me that you’d get frustration more than anything else out of whatever you try to do to help or please or go along with rules of a digital/social platform company…
