People are out to lunch on this whole situation. Try running a service that hosts somewhere between 2 and 3 billion Gigabytes of data. Where basically anyone on the planet can upload gigs of video and YouTube will still make it available 10 years later. You are never going to crowd source that, ever. I also pay for premium and I get at least 5x the value of any other streaming service. Just on home renovations, it’s probably saved me 10k+ being able to watch tutorials about every kind of repair.
The best part is: Youtube doesn’t even do any of that. It’s the creators that try to keep other streams off the web, because they wanna drive traffic to their own channel.

Youtube Premium is literally the only subscription service I pay for. Apart from your reasons there is one very solid reason behind my choice:
I can find shows and movies for free online if I bothered trying, it isn’t difficult. I cannot easily do the same for Youtube content.

Idk why, but it’s just funny to me.
