No, literally youtube had ads which just said things like, "does your kid hate it when youtube has commercials? Does it annoy you when they scream because of that? Pay us to remove them!"

It works be one thing to advertise a service or product, but they just put ads in to literally annoy you into paying. I'm not kidding.

I WAS a YouTube premium member until recently, but dropped it because of crap like this.

I know there's no free lunch, my comment was about the way youtube does business: it's a dick move to annoy users into paying you. How is that worth a tnstaafl reply?

I wonder if the world has passed me by when I think that I'm taking a stand against corporate greed and bullshit and everyone else happily goes along with whatever.
