YouTube premium is so overpriced for a single user. Family however, dam that shits a deal when you take advantage of it.
sooner or later they will plan to have ads on prenium, much like most other streaming are doing.
And that's the point I drop the sub and abandon the platform. I've actually already prepared for that with my home server.
Ublock origin is an even better one!
Now do it for my tv, my phone, my wife's iPhone, and all my hotel TVs when I travel. And also include video downloads and background playback. And also include a music streaming service that also includes downloading.
Works great for some applications, I use YouTube music and YouTube on a bunch of different devices on different platforms so having to make sure something works properly when I'm switching between devices on the fly is a pain.
