Considering i get premium Peacock for like $6 a month after discounts I agree. I get the live channel plus a ton of other stuff and other pre-made channels to watch. Some sports as well plus the Olympics when they are relevant. Asking $8 just to remove some ads sounds awful. I will stick to using Firefox on mobile and pc with ublock origin which removes all ads.

I feel the same. I pay $5/month for my Nebula subscription, and I think that's a bit high for my usage.

Could I get an ala carte option where my first X hours are ad free? I don't watch a ton of YouTube, but I'm willing to pay a little to support the platform. Or let me pay for the handful of channels I actually watch.
