I dont agree on the sponsor adds because that money is money the creator gets directly that isnt totally dependent on the policies that YT pushes. If those spots become worth less to the creators because they are skippable then they are more dependent on YT for their revenue.
There was some original content, there is offline play, ad removal, however they should allow premium to skip sponsor ads too if you ask me.
I thought it was a decent deal for $15/mo for family of 3 using it for music and yt. $23 is pushing it.

While I do get it, they shouldn’t need those sponsors if I’m paying to watch their videos. If YT is injecting ads to pay them.
It’s two sources of ads for the viewer, who can only pay to remove one of them
It’s a shitty model for everyone.
