Loads of videos have ads in there. They're put in there by the content creators. This as YouTube doesn't pay enough. YouTube premium doesn't block those.
It's strange that you haven't noticed those.
Loads of videos don't have those either. I watched three to four car repair videos yesterday and none had sponsored segments.
Some of my followed creators have them, but they are the minority. I'd love to see some overall stats, as my experience may not be the norm.
You know what's really strange? That you think not paying YouTube would make it so they could give their creators enough to where they didn't need to take outside sponsors. Almost like YouTube has limited or even no control over creators having third party sponsors but you still blaming them for it.
YouTube has 30 billion revenue a year. You make a claim about what I think but I didn't claim it, nor did you back up that things would change.
Your claim is like the trickle down economic policy, which initially was meant as a joke.
