minus-squareSchwim Dandy@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up9·2 days agoI read that Google is rolling out some ads on premium so that might need to get removed from your list.
minus-squarechinchillas@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·2 days agoAmazon Premium started this trend. They’re shameless.
minus-squarestrict0768@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·2 days agoI believe you’re thinking of premium lite, or whatever they call it.
minus-squarebuttnugget@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·2 days agoCorrect. If they ever roll out ads on premium, I’m not sure what we’ll do. Maybe figure out a new platform or a new way to watch.
minus-squareBrumefey@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·2 days agoYou should add Brave on iOS to the list. Never seen any ad with Brave.

minus-squareFrenezul0_o@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·2 days agoThat is right thinking. I admire that.
