I am not a content creator and do not upload anything. My use would just be as a consumer.
As a consumer, I will not use YT simply because of ads and the way they have made removing ads without a premium subscription so ridiculously difficult and time consuming.
Imo, having ads thrown in your face when you pause it, is reason enough not to use again.
good thing I use redacted in Firefox and apps that are cracked like redacted
This is specifically about TV apps.
My SO wants to upgrade our TV, so when we go to the store, they see big, beautiful displays, and I just see ads.
Any investors question would be, why did this take Google Youtube so long to implement such a feature, of course this is why the ads are being crammed like this on Smart TVs.
