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

Sponsorblock built in would be nice.
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.

I don't get the people shitting on this. It's a very fair plan. Something I've been wishing existed for the past month, even. Like the article states, it's for people who use YT to watch TV (me).
I just hope there's a yearly plan to get a little bit more of a discount. Student plan is the same price but no yearly plan, so it comes to ~$90 per year.

Too little too late, I wish there was a non-US alternative to YouTube.

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.
Then you are using it for music and pay the full rate.

uBlock Origin and SponsorBlock are still free.

Well, in fact, I just tolerate the ads and don't directly offer financial recompense. Indeed, if I were to go for a paid tier, you are correct that it would likely be one that didn't put ads where I want them least.

"ad-free" sure, I heard that before.

It varies by org but yes verticals are usually product silos that serve certain types of customers or needs.

Well we have Peertube

Yeah we're like a decade into Hulu having an "ad free" plan that includes ads. I lump them in with companies like Verizon offering "unlimited" internet with data caps.

I appreciate the information and that you took the time to answer, but I hate that combination of words.
Still ... Thank you for the response.

PeerTube isn't one of these "YouTube, but without ads" apps? I might check it out, but I still think YouTube has the total monopoly on video form content right now.

I actually don't mind paying for stuff I use or get value from.
I do have smartyoutubetv Installed on both an Nvidia Shield and a Google TV, I originally did it when my kid was on a child account but couldn't sign into the Google yt app. I kinda wish Futo would make a TV version of Grayjay I'd probably use it.
I use premium for both YouTube and yt music and it's our primary music streaming service too. I even have 11 CCA (Chromcast audios) powering rooms all over the house where we listen to ytm from.

Freetube (desktop) and newpipe (android) is great for those who would like a subscription feed without an account, local Playlist, download videos, and save view history while remaining account free.
I use pipepipe on mobile with it being a fork of newpipe with sponsor block, and lets you use a throw away YouTube account it uses only to access age restricted videos.

Vertical market, where they do all of one thing soup to nuts, as opposed to a horizontal market, where they do a little bit of one thing but sell it in a wide variety of scenarios.

I can only speak for myself, but I refuse to give Google a dime because they're unfriendly to consumers.
I pay way more in Patreon subscriptions than I would pay for YouTube. I don't see ads, and the creators make more money from me. And, importantly, Google sees none of it.

Unfortunately Chrome just rendered uBlock Origin useless, and borderline demands you remove it from your browser. I can confirm that mine stopped working yesterday
uBlock works fine in Firefox and its forks.
