> Would you pay a subscription to be able to download your YT video queue?

aka, buy youtube premium?

...which just got a 40+% price bump. And has zero guarantee that it won't have ads, doesn't remove sponsored segments, and sends a pittance to the actual creators.

[candiodari]

It already has ads, promoted videos are still in your feed and still promoted over your own preferences, whether you pay or not. And of course it doesn't stop creators from having sponsored content.

So it already doesn't stop the ads. It just stops pre-roll ads.

Yes, but actually no.

The price has gone up while the Ads have gotten worse. I'll not support that financially. I'd rather just download it and move on.

To be clear, I get the need for ads, but in the past decade it's just gotten downright abusive, so they can keep it.

And get ads served some years later?

So cancel your premium subscription said some years later? At this hypothetical future time you’d be a lot more justified in piracy IMO, but today you don’t have much of a leg to stand on.
