There’s going to be a split between premium and not watching YouTube. I’m not paying something like 2,000$ to per hour of advertising cut from my life.

I might click on a video I find elsewhere, but I’ve basically given up on using the YouTube interface for finding videos.

Users don't need to understand an ad blocker to use it either, do they?

That said, the predictable next step would just be for Google to turn on DRM on Youtube videos.
