I understand it is a YouTubers shop but it is still an ad.
Comment on Youtube is allowing Youtubers to advertise their merch even for premium users
a4ng3l@lemmy.world 1 year agoIt’s less ads and more your youtuber’s shop… you pay YouTube premium to get rid of their ads but you don’t pay your content creator… maybe if there was a subscription patreon-like it would be equivalent.

YouTube spends some of the money you pay for premium on the content creator, more than just user who watches ads, the only reason I would consider using premium, there will always be a way to block ads without spending money unless it’s moved Serverside and you have to wait the length of instead.

For niche content creators that aren’t in the million of subs what they get isn’t even subsistence money… hence their merchs. Those are not ads inserted in the video stream but screen space below the video… easily ignored especially compared to actual ads.

it’s an ad for the shop. i paid for no ads. i didn’t pay for “no ads except those we think you’d like to see”, i paid for no ads.
