YouTube lets Premium users send ad-free videos, internet unimpressed: "What’s the point lol"

YouTube Premium now lets subscribers play ad-free fairy godparent - but only 10 times a month. This new test feature allows Premium members to share a few valuable, ad-free vids with their non-paying buddies, giving them just enough slack before putting them back in the "Skip ad in 5 seconds" fight. Savor it while it lasts!

YouTube Premium is pilot-testing a new "share the wealth" feature - albeit with restrictions. According to the reports, it allows subscribers to forward ad-free vids (except for music videos, Shorts, Livestreams, and Movies & Shows) to buddies in supported locations.

Each link has 10 total ad-free views, and each share dips into the sender's 10 monthly allowance. So go ahead and share wisely - since once it's gone, the pre-roll ad marathon is back. Inadvertently sharing an ad-free link with a fellow YouTube Premium subscriber? No problem, no issue - your valuable quota remains intact.

But for non-subscribers, it's essentially a gateway ad-free experience - just enough to make them wonder about their life choices when the ads come thundering back. As soon as the news came out, someone took to his X account and commented:

"Whats the point lol"

Not everybody is amused by YouTube Premium's new ad-free sharing tool, with some wondering what it's even for. At just 10 shares a month and limiting what types of videos count, some view it as a tease rather than an actual benefit. But if it saves even one person from a two-minute unskippable ad, perhaps it's fulfilling its purpose.

The YouTube Premium ad-free sharing feature has landed, and the internet is responding the only way it can - with memes, pandemonium, and bewilderment.

Some fans are looking forward to playing ad-free hero for their mates, while others are questioning whether 10 shares a month is YouTube's subtle reminder to free users of what they're missing out on.

As ever, the comments section is where the real fun is, so let's take a look at the best fan reactions.

Netizens have reacted as YouTube lets Premium users send ad-free videos

Some people witnessed the update and simply dropped jokes, making the comment section a YouTube comedy special. Others just appeared to roast the feature as if it personally interrupted their video with an ad:

"Gifting someone no ads for the next 10 videos makes me question, where did we as humans go wrong," a user @0xAbhiP hilariously commented.

"but first... we need to find those premium users," another user @KobeStreams hilariously commented.

"Imagine flexing a gifted video with no ads. Lol," a netizen @jeck0510 sarcastically expressed.

There were some jokes, there were complaints, and others? They just made random statements for the heck of it. Because if there's one thing the internet enjoys doing, it's talking when there's absolutely nothing to say:

"Tf is the point if it’s only 10 vids," a folk @Kaziorbluee commented.

"What a fantastic waste of money," a user @Noah_A_S hilariously commented.

"Just watch the ads they ain't that long," a netizen @Imbored363 sarcastically wrote.

Whether fans are hyping it up, roasting it, or just commenting for the algorithm, YouTube Premium's ad-free sharing feature has certainly caused some buzz. Will it turn free users or simply create more memes? Time alone will tell, but in the meantime, enjoy your 10 little gifts of ad-free freedom before the unskippable ads creep back in.
