Previously the feature was as an experiment that only YouTube Premium subscribers could access, but it's now available to anyone who uses YouTube from a browser or the company's official iOS and Android apps.

2 Ads of 20sec. each every 4:10 min is nuts.

Also, charging 16,99€/month for mostly amateur content with channel sponsors and about products.
