That’s a bit of an extreme take on the topic… not wanting ads from the broadcaster is one thing, not wanting to be separately presented with the promotional items of the youtuber himself is something else. I like seeing what the guys I follow are putting out.
Maybe a 2nd option in ads content would be appropriate for you but don’t throw everyone in the same bag…
An ad is an ad. If YouTube premium’s point is to remove ads then this should be included. Otherwise what’s the point? We should all just go back to using ad blockers.
We should not pay for content twice. Viewing ads is paying for content. Paying for premium is paying for content.
You're not paying for content by seeing ads for YouTuber's stores. That's supplementary income for the YouTuber that doesn't involve YTs revenues whatsoever.
It’s less ads and more your youtuber’s shop… you pay YouTube premium to get rid of their ads but you don’t pay your content creator… maybe if there was a subscription patreon-like it would be equivalent.
YouTube spends some of the money you pay for premium on the content creator, more than just user who watches ads, the only reason I would consider using premium, there will always be a way to block ads without spending money unless it's moved Serverside and you have to wait the length of instead.
Edit: The content creator can also just add a link in the end card to their patreon or merch store.
For niche content creators that aren’t in the million of subs what they get isn’t even subsistence money… hence their merchs. Those are not ads inserted in the video stream but screen space below the video… easily ignored especially compared to actual ads.
