I saw today new “merch” section below comments. I’m a premium users for a reason, I want 0 ads.

I just canceled my subscription and moved to yattee / invidious for good.

    so you are accepting of the entire screen being a merch plug if it’s a video segment, of if it’s in the description which either does indeed take up screen real estate, or you are only accepting because you don’t look at descriptions. but you aren’t accepting of merch in a small section that used to be basically nothing?

    i just don’t follow your logic, it just sounds like you saw something new and immediately reacted without thinking it through.

    if this was an actual ad, people would be with you on this. but it just isn’t. it’s some merch that the youtuber sells. fuck them for trying to make a living right? they can only make a living if they actively hide any way that they could make a living.
