Eight dollars a month for fucking "premium-lite" is insane.

Or get uBlock for $0

If they bundled youtube music with it, maybe I'll consider it. But this lite version will have ads on music and music videos.

Honestly a music video is basically one long commercial anyway I'm surprised they would have ads.

The only problem I have with the premium subscription is the lack of ad control from the content creator. They should have to put them into some kind of wrapper that I, as a premium member can decide to enable or not. As a paying subscriber I should be able to watch it 100% ad free without going through sponsorblock, which is a big pita to do on set-top boxes.

Sponsorblock built in would be nice.

It's built in on free apps that block the rest of the ads.

Wait.... Isn't that what premium is?

lol wait, that’s just YouTube premium isn’t it?? and that’s existed for a long time already
Every previous YouTube premium post used to be inundated with people asking for a YouTube premium that didn’t include music because everyone already has music from Apple or Spotify. This is YouTube’s offering for that.

That's YouTube premium, that product already exists.

Tempting, but I'll stick with free sponsorblock. I could be convinced to switch if they started paying me though

Yeah especially without full feature parity with YouTube premium. This $7.99 price should omit music but everything else from premium should be included, and even that feels a little expensive.

Somebody didn't read the article! It's only Music videos that will have ads. It seems the cost savings here are all from cutting out record label contracts

I did read the article. Music videos on YouTube are YouTube videos. Adding ads to them doesn't magically make them something else.
What they're really saying is "oh, well, we want you to get used to the subscription model having ads on some things, because we plan to expand it massively in the future."

how is a music video a commercial?

I don't want ads in any of my videos, but if I have to have intrusive and distracting profit generating clips interrupt what I actually want to watch ... I think music videos are among the ones I'd prefer disrupted the least.

Is "verticals" marketing speak for "categories" or "genres" or does it mean something else?

There are a few apps you can get for like Google TV (nvidia shield etc..) Like smartyoutubetv. But they've gotta be side loaded. So you need to install some way to get the APK on the device. It's all doable, but it's a pain.
I'd prefer just paying and losing the ads. Since I'm dreaming, I'd also like a check box to remove shorts all together from my experience.
