I got a free year-long subscription to Vessel, which essentially works like the premium ad free option that youtube is talking about, and I basically never use it. It's not Better enough for me to want to pay for it, or even for me to use it instead of youtube as it stands, even though some of the creators I follow release videos a week to a month earlier on that platform.

My attraction to youtube is that it is free content which I can choose to support by whitelisting channels on adblock. I don't care about watching ads for content that I support.
