The sad thing is they inject ads to your feed even if you have premium. I keep seeing product videos in my feed named “Meet the x product”. Youtube and google is just shameless and I’m pretty sure they’re breaking a bunch of laws.

So YouTube Premium is as worthless as I thought. Google was never great in drawing recognizable lines between their free offering and paid... and it seems their solution is to make everything as shitty as possible and barely fix the stuff they fucked up.

Let's wait until Google Maps gets ads .... routing already seems fishy to me.

Thanks for your brief description... only shows me that my next Phone won't be a Pixel.
