>Maybe they should focus on improving their frontend

They have. Do you know how many ads they can stuff into people's faces now?

Youtube is unbearable without ablock. If there are people who are able to watch it like that, then it shows just how long you can boil the proverbial frog.

Paying for YT premium is even better. No ads and you support the content creators

[Marsymars]

YT premium unfortunately scales very poorly for low usage. I probably average about one youtube video watched per month, so while I'm not opposed to paying something, I am opposed to watching any ads, and I'm not going to pay $13/video.

You also support a shitty advertising business model.

I used YT premium until I realized I was still getting ads from the videos themselves.

I hear this a lot, and would love to see some figures.

If I'm a heavy YT Premium user, is it possible for my views to be worth less than ad-generated views?

[nraynaud]

you still get the baked-in ads, and I get weird ads when watching video embedded in other websites.

And Nebula.tv is best of all. No ads, you support the content creators, and you don't feed YouTube's near-monopoly on video distribution.

Youtube premium is insanely good value for money if you're at all a regular Youtube user. And content creators get paid significantly more for Premium views than ad supported views.

I'm curious how that works. After all, there's still only $14 per Premium user per month to go around.
