I saw today new “merch” section below comments. I’m a premium users for a reason, I want 0 ads.

I just canceled my subscription and moved to yattee / invidious for good.

    Being “higher than ad revenue” on YouTube is a stupidly low bar. Ad revenue for videos has been plummeting like a rock for years. That’s why basically every big channel now either has merch, patron, or paid sponsorships / ads recorded by the creator as part of the video completely unrelated to YouTube.
