Uh, youtube premium is ad free...

Im one of these legacy users from google music, and youtube hasnt shown me an ad in nearly a decade...

Obviously other than the baked in ad reads by the youtubers themselves

Yeah but premium has the other bundled shit I don't want. Just give me an ad free option

big talk from someone with McSwag in their username!

You know they aren’t forcing you to use the bundled stuff, right?

[–] DoucheBagMcSwag@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 weeks ago

But that affects the price being higher. If they just had a plan with ad free it would hopefully be cheaper than current premium (since no music streaming)

But they shill it as benefit when many people have no benefit from the bundled shit they are being upsold on
