I mean, in the image above it specifically says “You can go ad-free with YouTube premium.”
They don’t say “get rid of pre roll ads” or “remove banner ads” they just say “ad-free” which it specifically is not. They still show me an ad, so it’s not ad-free. That’s just a lie.
I def do not believe they are within their rights to add ads whenever they want, when I specifically bought “ad free”
I know I can’t trust google to stand by their word, I’m just saying that this is what finally broke the ol camels back and pushed me away from giving them anything, even my eyes on their “free” platform.
