We've gone full circle

You can at least pay (quite a lot less than a cable subscription) to remove them. It beats paying $80 a month for the great privilege of spending 30% of the time watching ads.

For now, of course.

Soon you’ll pay AND watch ads. Maybe there will be a free tier with 5 minute ad breaks, and paid tier with 1 minute ad breaks.

I pay for premium and still have to watch all the sponsored crap within the video itself. I block all those channels manually so it's slowly getting better.
