This entire shitty ad model these companies have pushed onto the net needs to go. Seriously. Find a better way to monetize your world.
This answer confuses me. The message on that pop up is "buy YouTube premium, so you won't be stuck in our ad supported model" and now we're ranting that they need to find another model to finance themselves? Isn't YouTube premium exactly that?
But no, not like that. Clearly they need to find a way of materializing money from thin air.

"Guys they don't have any money, they just gotta be privacy vampires and spam us with ads, they have no other means of funding it!"
Maybe stop being a bootlicker for a company that used to be "Don't be evil."
