I'd prefer some kind of limited amount of viewing. I don't watch a ton of YT, so give me some kind of reasonable ad-free cap. I'm willing to pay to not see ads, but I don't watch enough to be worth their asking price.

I would rather micro transactions. Like just load up a dollar and get like 1000 minutes ad free...with the ability to turn off and save for later.

Don’t think a dollar is going to give you anywheee near 1000 minutes of ad free video.

It should. That's more than I would spend on things they are advertising

Yeah, I'm guessing an ad makes them at most a couple cents, and I'm totally willing to compensate them for not getting the ad revenue. I just don't like the current options: ads or tons of money per month for a service I don't use enough to justify.
