I'm not trying to defend anyone. Read my original post. I pay for premium because it works great for me. Lemmy users are so insufferable, trying to tell me how bad I am for paying for a service that works for me.
And yes, a Twitter poll is a great way to get data. The poll anyone can vote in, and many people DO vote just to see the results. Thanks for the very scientific and accurate data!
I did. Like I said, I don't want to prevent you for paying for something that works for you. My only comment to you was about how much content creators get from YT Premium.
It was good enough for Google, what's the issue?
And to counter your point, the survey was only limited to Twitter users. If anything, it underreports the issue of ads being shown, since not everyone is even using Twitter or following a TeamYouTube to know about the poll, for that matter.
But, let's say that you're right and that a ton of people just voted randomly (which isn't required to see the results, since the results are only revealed after the poll is over). Cut those numbers in half, and you're still talking about 1 out of 10 Premium users seeing ads. That's a hell of a lot more than none, even if it's never happened to you.
Anyway. It feels like we're beating a dead horse here. Enjoy YT Premium and the benefits it brings you, there's really no reason to be arguing over this at all. Cheers ๐ป
