For me, it was a no brainer. We did a family plan years ago and it gave us 6 accounts with ad free youtube AND each of those accounts included youtube music (similar to Apple Music, Spotify..) at NO additional cost! Total per month for our entire family is $14.88. I only say this; because it seems as though it may start bringing people to the idea of not having to watch ads by enticing them with a music service included. It's kind of a ridiculously low price in my opinion.

Now, of course, my kids decided they also "needed" Apple Music and/or Spotify to share lists with their friends. They pay for those on their own, so all good by me. They still love watching youtube without ads anyway.

Like I said, doesn't solve your problem. I and many others, won't see those ads anyway. FWIW

Maybe have Janice sing a duet with "The Biebs" as a work around.

Best of luck!



Thanks! I was not aware of that. However, I would suspect that the majority of folks who watch our vids do not subscribe and thus would see the ads. I uploaded a vid to YT several weeks ago that got a couple hundred views in short order. I think that might have triggered the ads.

But I have resolved this by subscribing today to Vimeo. Clean interface and no ads for anybody if the creator is a subscriber.

I'd rather pay them $7 a month then stay with YT. What a business model YT has. Make money off millions and millions of users and not return one cent unless they become a Partner. And that takes 1000 subscribers to your channel and 4,000 hours of play a year. Hmmmm....how many folks does that eliminate? The net is lit up with folks that are incensed over this relatively new scenario. Oh, and for my vid they are sometimes running back to back one minute ads that cannot be skipped.
