Users on Reddit are reporting that they're now seeing 90-second unskippable ads on YouTube's TV app, even as policy restricts them to 30 seconds.

      $10 a month is absolutely ridiculous.

        Well, if the product is free, they’re gonna rip you off in some other way. You’re also welcome to use vanced and ublock, both works, but premium make sure the channel you watched get paid more. Of course you can also subscribe to their patreon but…it cost way more.

      Or way less via Apple In-app subscription in a different country. Those won‘t be locked out like the ones created from within YT itself.

      You could donate that money and still have no ads. Google doesn’t need it

        That’s too much trouble for the 20 or so creators I watch. I primarily comsume media via YouTube so its much more economical than having cable was and I still was pushed ads. Most of the comments seem to disassociate the consuming from the compensating creators. It has gotta happen somehow and 10$ a month is easy.
