I saw today new “merch” section below comments. I’m a premium users for a reason, I want 0 ads.

I just canceled my subscription and moved to yattee / invidious for good.

    This isn’t an ad. It’s just an opportunity to purchase something related to the video, or that you’ve searched for, or that the algorithm has determined you’ll buy.

      The interface, however, is very much intrusive like an ad. It will display a big banner in the lower half of the video with nothing but a “shop” button until you click up or click on it. If it just showed up in the MORE section of the description that would be perfectly acceptable.
