YouTube money grab ?

It’s a business. You either pay to subscribe to get rid of the ads or you watch ads on your “free” service. Ad blockers on a free service takes revenue away from YouTube, if they can keep you from doing it they will.

From their perspective it’s like stealing your neighbors cable, you’re getting a service you’re not paying for.
The problem is, some of the ads are the same **** over and over, and NONE of it is anything I'm interested in. YUP went through the same ****, a sort of timer appeared on the warning, counting down the days I have left, so I finally had to turn off AB.

Most annoying one is something about putting out a fire in a barbeque. Know what? It didn't work. I STILL don't know WTF they are selling!!
