A short while ago I signed up for YouTube Premium. I’m still in the “free trial” period but am leaning toward paying for it after that. I get enough benefit from YouTube that it seems fair that I pay something for it. (I did have some minor concerns that I was rewarding enshittification; but YouTube has to pay their bills somehow, either by ad revenue or some other revenue source.)
Anyway, since that time I have seen neither ads nor any kind of nagging or pushback against using adblockers. I’ve mostly been using Chrome with AdBlock, although I just turned the AdBlock off on YouTube to see if it made a difference, and so far I haven’t seen any.
