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.

I'd argue it is related to the video, because the channel who is selling the merch also made the video you are watching.

I am here for a submarine video not for the channel. If I want to support the creator, I can go to Patreon.

I am fine if creators use the description section, but this giant section that I cannot hide, which is made by YouTube, make the difference.

Your argument is like you drink Pepsi why are you upset if you see an ad from Pepsi.
