I’m not saying that YouTube shouldn’t have a premium feature, where you pay to watch videos or listen to music without being besieged by commercials. No, I’m not saying that at all. What I’m saying is, don’t give us a feature, like free songs, for years and years, only to suddenly throw ads smack, dab in the middle of a song to “force” us to pay for it. If you wanted to charge people to use YouTube, you should have done it from day one.

Oh, and dear advertisers, do you SERIOUSLY believe that we consumers will want to buy your products or use your services if your advertisement ruined the song I was listening to? On the contrary, because of that, it’ll have the opposite effect. I’ll go out of my way not to put money in your pockets.
