I assumed I would boot up the app and there would be a big red button saying GAMES … but no. I have to sign up to PREMIUM. Then find the YOUR PREMIUM BENEFITS section. Then find EXPERIMENTAL FEATURES and select TRY EXPERIMENTAL FEATURES. Then find the TRY GAMES ON YOUTUBE part therein and tap on TRY IT OUT.

Yup, ad free YouTube should be like $1-2/month, since that's what they earn from ads. Maybe $5/month at the top end. They should make a lower end tier where you get X views/month ad free and make keep the top one for heavy users.

But $14/month is ridiculous and just isn't happening. I don't watch YouTube nearly enough to warrant that, so I just use an ad blocker. If they shut me out, I'll just stop watching, it's not a big deal.
