        I would dump Netflix before cancelling YT Premium. Everything on Netflix I can stream for free from pirate sites to my TV. YouTube actually has tons of informational and educational content and a premium subscription lets me support it without the ads. I probably watch YouTube twice as much as all my other vid subs combined.

          I’ve been so annoyed with the ads that I’ve started to go elsewhere for instructional content.

        I’m technically still sharing a Netflix account with my parents, though I rarely use it at this point.
        Whenever I want to watch a movie, and I check Netflix, they don’t have it. (It’s worth pointing out that I’m not in the US)

        In contrast, YouTube Premium gives me pretty much exactly what I seek from it. Videos from channels that I follow, but now without ads.

      Ditto. It is my most used subscription.

      I watch more YouTube than cable (never) or Netflix (maybe one binge a month).

      I use it for music in the car and at work.

      I play audio from some sciencey channels while I try to goto sleep.

      I’ll probably keep paying. I do get value out of it.
