So this started coming up today. On every video. I can (so far) click the “x” and remove it to watch (still see 2 ads before the video, and one after 4 minutes - ruins music on YT), but did click the “Report issue” only for the dialogue box not to work.

I found a link to a that said 11% use adblock. Thats not a lot.Maaayyyybe there is a problem with the amount of ads youtube forces down our throats for even short videos. 🤷‍♂️

    There has to be an explicit agreement accompanying the payment. When you pay directly and buy a product or service you have that explicit agreement. With ads you don’t, there’s only implicit statements hidden in terms of service and things like that. In the EU that’s illegal and doesn’t hold any power over the consumer.

    Let Google come forth and say “you can only watch this video with Premium” and that would be ok. Mandating ads is not.
