Paying to remove ads is how you get no ads.
Refusing to pay for ad-free services just tells companies that there’s no point in attempting to make a good user experience with no ads.
Somehow I suspect the ones obsessively managing ad blockers to make sure they don’t see a single ad aren’t the ones that watch 2 videos a month or less
Like, is it that hard to imagine someone using YouTube a lot and finding the premium service worth the cost?
I want to not see ads. If someone sells that product to me I am buying. If someone doesn’t offer a way to avoid ads I’m selling (like how I used to be a sports fan and now I don’t tune in ).
If I get ads in my premium subscription I can always cancel.
I think you’re simplifying customer demographics. I think that companies and advertisers know that the people willing to pay to stop ads legitimately buy fewer frivolous products. The people who don’t mind ads are the ones who can be reached. These two customer bases don’t intersect.
