I feel like youtube is losing sight of why users are paying for the service then.

To me, personally, youtube is useful enough that I will keep paying to remove ads entirely (in combination with ublock). That being said, there will come a time when the value proposition is no longer balanced. Then I will stop paying, and probably stop using it as well.

But as always with Google, I question whether their motive is to kill another service. They're very competent at that specific thing.

They just want users who are paying full freight as they know the ad business is in step decline.

Is it in decline? I mean, I want to believe it, but I haven’t seen any hard data on that.
