YouTube is running an experiment asking some users to disable their ad blockers or pay for a premium subscription, or they will not be allowed to watch videos.
Yeah I think it’s a good option for a lot of people.
As a counterpoint, I recommend watching Louis Rossman’s take on why he recommends people pirate instead of paying for YouTube Premium.
His general philosophy on things is that you should pay for things unless you’re getting an inferior service to the pirates.
In this case of YouTube Premium, he considers it restrictive enough (won’t let him watch videos offline) that he cancelled his subscription and now recommends piracy.
Did you watch the video?
YouTube Premium lets you watch a video offline if you’re online.
If you’ve been offline for 3 days, however, you cannot watch any videos offline, which makes the usage of the word “offline” a little strange.

But YouTube Premium lets you download and watch offline…
