If they bundled youtube music with it, maybe I'll consider it. But this lite version will have ads on music and music videos.
Wait.... Isn't that what premium is?
lol wait, that’s just YouTube premium isn’t it?? and that’s existed for a long time already
Every previous YouTube premium post used to be inundated with people asking for a YouTube premium that didn’t include music because everyone already has music from Apple or Spotify. This is YouTube’s offering for that, except it’s a shitty version that takes away more than just music.
That's YouTube premium, that product already exists.
Honestly a music video is basically one long commercial anyway I'm surprised they would have ads.
how is a music video a commercial?
It's advertising for the record label and the artist.
and the song itself isn't? That's like saying a movie is advertising for the director
