    I don't use it enough to warrant €5 a month.

    Failing that just press F5 and refresh the page.

    I just wish they'd stop with this "not available on mobile" crap.

    Would I pay for it? Hell no. It's not changed my life that much. But like the Netflix business model, I'm sure there are people that would consider paying for it if it was marketed properly.

    Ads don't bother me. Youtube is free. I can put up with a few ads.

    There's an interesting ad on YouTube at the oment

    2 dudes up in the Wicklow mountains come across an oul lad panning for gold.

    No product or anything yet. Makes it all mysterious ad interesting

    I have found in the last few weeks adblocker isn't as good at blocking ads on YT. I get the ad at the start of a video the odd time that you can click to skip after a few seconds, anyone notice this?

    Yup I've been getting this a lot in the past month or so. Also getting that little ad that pops up from the bottom of the video that you have to close everytime.
