    The link I posted said this:

    In the U.S., Google charges individual users $14 per month for YouTube Premium, which limits ads and offers a few additional features.

    So it ‘limits ads’ which means there are still ads.

      It’s a poorly worded article. YouTube premium “limits ads” as in being completely ad free (besides in-video sponsorships). YouTube hasn’t gone down that route yet.

        YouTube hasn’t gone down that route yet.

        And if they ever do, I’m sure at least 90% of premium users will cancel immediately. I like the quality of the curated channels I subscribe, but I won’t die if I don’t watch YouTube anymore. In the end it’s just the same type of content that could be a blog just as well, but unfortunately most people nowadays don’t read anymore.

          One of my current favorite techy creators writes a blog post for most of his videos I can reference if I’m interested in the project. ❤️
