YouTube lost a user they never made money from. As if they care.
I broke down and bought premium. I’m an expat in a developing country so it’s about $4.50/month where I live. I tried for a while to block ads with pihole but couldn’t do it, and I usually use the YouTube app on my Xbox, so ublock isn’t a thing there.
Totally worth it for me. Sometimes we get caught up in the idea that we’ll spend nothing for something, then go on to spend what amounts to big money in terms of time and energy to avoid paying.
For me if the cost of a nice dinner out (here) = 1 year of YouTube premium seems like a pretty good deal. And I’m still contributing something to content creators, I think.
expat
You mean immigrant?
Sure, whatever
Lol they’re both real words, so not sure why the clarification needs to be made. After googling, seems like intention to permanently stay in the “new” country is the difference. Don’t really see how that distinction matters for this conversation though…
It’s the same thing, just depends on which side you’re looking at it from.
If you’re in America it’s expat, if you’re a native in the country the expat is in then they’re an immigrant.
I got family so my kids don’t have to watch ads
I grew up watching TV ads… And I did find… Am I right?
Between Plex, a YT family plan and network level ad blocking mine barely see an ad, it’s actually kinda funny on the occasion they do run into an ad they’re always like DAAAD WTF IS THIS?!?! and I have to remind them every time lolol
Yeah, I have a niece too that gets annoyed with Pluto TV ads… Like… Girl, at least you aren’t viewing political propaganda or whatever.
The funny thing is that because I do watch a lot of stuff on YouTube, I have seriously considered getting premium, because I’ll happily spend money on Spotify for its usefulness.
Then Google started getting shitty with ad blockers, alongside demonitising videos with swearing, and started ramping up the price. Now, I’ll happily leave the room during ads when watching on my TV, and will watch elsewhere.
I have survived 20 years of ads on YouTube. I’m not about to start paying them now, especially because they’re being so pushy about it. At this point I won’t be paying them entirely out of spite.
Or you could give it a look at the relevant post part in this post and enhance your experience.
Youtube constantly shitting on content creators and it’s users is why they’ll never see a cent from me.

What tv do you have?
If it’s android, look at
My parents like music. They don’t want more accounts, but have Android phones. Signed them up for Play Music on a family plan. As the owner of the plan I got Premium. Now Play Music is dead, but I don’t have ads on YouTube and can never go back.
I mean, it’s the service I’d cancel last, but sure, “everyone”.
I cancelled Spotify after learning YouTube music came with it. Still have Hulu.
When I get a fresh device and haven’t logged in yet it’s usually the first thing I realize I’m not signed into.
Same YouTube Premium is high key worth it. No ads and being able to download videos is really nice. YT music has also replaced my Spotify Subscription.
I only have premium because I got it with YouTube music. Otherwise there would be no way I’d consider it.
Wait people actually pay for YT music on top of YT? I thought this was a Prime Video case.
Yeah. It’s kinda different from prime video though. I pay for YouTube music and then for like a few dollars extra I get premium bundled in. YouTube music gets a lot of hate, but I really like the music selection since I listen to a lot of soundtracks that are only on YouTube.

I have Revanced YT music only for that! But most of them are only audio videos 😂
Especially talking about videogames and anime/tv show soundtracks.
Music is the base subscription and then YTP is a few dollars more as a higher tier
YouTube premium is the only premium service that actually seems to be worth the price they charge.
No, Spotify is the most reasonable. YouTube lost my confidence when they intentionally added inconveniences on the feee version instead of offering more functionality for premium.
none of them are reasonable. If it’s cheap the content creators are paying, if it’s expensive the content creators don’t get a fair share.
Pretty much any (big) software nowadays is a scam.
$11 billion USD last year. “Everyone”.
YT premium is a great value especially when you include yt music.

Or I can have both for free with Revanced.
I was unemployed so I understand where people are coming from but the people who are outraged like they have no right to charge for their service drive me up a wall.
Too bad YouTube music is trash and still hasn’t caught up to the usefulness of Google Play Music that it killed off years ago. If I was able to just get YouTube Premium without it, I would drop it so quickly.
Meh, I love youtube premium. Music and ad-free youtube across all devices for the price of Spotify lol. Deal.
As a Revanced user, I can agree.
The only reason I used to pay for premium was because I used to use my PlayStation for YouTube and it would be annoying cranking out to music, then some stupid ad comes on.
Why not just connect a Bluetooth speaker to your PC?
Or any other multitude of ways to play music that isnt from a playstation or youtube.
My PlayStation was my only way, I didn’t have a computer at that time.

What kind of parents buys their kid a game console before their first computer? I didn’t even know that was a thing people did…
I’m an adult who is broke…
That just leaves more questions. You didn’t take your computer with you when you moved out?
Sold it to a wizard for a bottle of magic serum.
Oh okay. That explains it.
It’s the only subscription I have and want.
