    The only problem I have with the premium subscription is the lack of ad control from the content creator. They should have to put them into some kind of wrapper that I, as a premium member can decide to enable or not. As a paying subscriber I should be able to watch it 100% ad free without going through sponsorblock, which is a big pita to do on set-top boxes.

    I will sit through ads of the people I watch that are small and trying to make a buck above YT’s pittance. OR, maybe YT could share a little of that sweet sweet profit with them and then not allow them to do their own ads (hahahahaha)

      Check out Nebula. Lots of YouTubers host there. Subscriptions go straight to the creators, and they cut the sponsor blocks out of the versions they post there.

        There are a few apps you can get for like Google TV (nvidia shield etc…) Like smartyoutubetv. But they’ve gotta be side loaded. So you need to install some way to get the APK on the device. It’s all doable, but it’s a pain.

        I’d prefer just paying and losing the ads. Since I’m dreaming, I’d also like a check box to remove shorts all together from my experience.
