I definitely recommend people check out Youtube Premium if you hate ads and use YT a lot on smart TVs and mobile where ad-blocking is more difficult.

The majority of my video watching time is YT and I primarily do it on my phone or TV, so it is worth it for me. I wish I could cut out YT Music and save some money while using a music streaming service I prefer though.

I’ll upvote you back up to 0 at least.

I’ve had YT Premium (formerly Red) for years. It’s actually a good service, but I’m not too happy it sounds like prices are going up soon.

I already pay for it and will continue to do so. I have no issues spending money for a product I enjoy.

[–] seathru@lemm.ee 7 points 2 years ago

I pay the content creators I enjoy. Youtube can make due with the data they harvest and sell.

It's never enough, soon they're going to show ads even to you, a paying customer. It's happening to some streaming providers already, it's coming to YouTube too, mark my words. Online streaming is turning into cable.

Yeah, yeah, it's all about the creators' well being.

I used to keep it off on sites I wanted to have revenue but everyone uses them to annoy the user into subscriptions anymore so it's not worth turning it off.

YouTube premium is the one subscription I will gladly pay for, I use it so much daily and you also get YouTube music which is a superior app to Spotify/Others, the family plan value is unmatched.

[–] Franzia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 2 years ago

I agree, and subscribe to Premium. I can't help but feel, though, thag voting with my wallet towards creators Patreons might actually keep Youtube's little temper tantrum from hurting me. Patreon is another platform, but its harm reduction. Less problematic.
