I would love to upgrade to one, but from tests I gathered that they have an exceedingly bad idle power draw. Given that the card would idle most of the time, I don't really want to waste power on it if nvidia and amd manage to stay far lower.

I wish there is a github FOSS script that does this for new windows builds.
Not everything can be done client side. Sending notifications or emails: server side. Basically anything that's automated.
My point was: they likely have to pay for licensed music to the content mafia, so they cannot really offer anything without including music in the pricing.
Music might really be their main problem. Basically every video has some music in it. If not in the foreground, then in the background. Even game soundtracks in Let's Plays are often under license. So the moment someone plays any such video, the content mafia comes around the corner with their baseball bats in hand collecting their tolls.
So I assume if they have to pay for music any way, they figured they might as well include a tailored music listening experience with Premium.
Man könnte ja auch mal mit Betroffenen sprechen und sich ein Bild von der Lage machen. Immerhin bekommt man als Politker ja Geld für sowas. Und Erfahrung sammelt man dabei auch. Spaß macht es aber vermutlich keinen. Aber immernoch besser als nur im Büro rumzuhängen und dämliche Grütze auf Instragram zu posten.
I don't want cloud storage. I want ad-free YouTube. And the price is not fit for what they offer (they are a damn content hoster and not motherfucking Netflix).
It's a double edged sword. If the actual devs are exposed too much, they get bombarded with shit from so many people who have no clue and/or just want to vent, that they would not be able to do their actual work or would even burn out from all the toxicity.
Unfortunately people with actual helpful input are so rare that it's likely not worth the hassle.
Would be cool though if the people triaging reports would have the knowledge to sort the wheat from the chaff. But same problem there: it's likely so rare to encounter these reports that it's not worth training people for it.
They also have different processes. Each report would start as a support request that goes through some customer care department or even call center first, that will triage the issue with some knowledge base or decision tree. So before a meaningful report makes it way to a department that can actually deal with it, a dozen other people are involved first.
That will be irrelevant when the control freaks take over. Case in point: anti piracy ads in the good old DVD/BluRay days. Unskippable shit that ironically only punishes people who bought legitimate media.
For the service they offer (the hosting basically) I am actually willing to pay quite a bit. But what they typically ask for (about €15 for a single account) that's just not worth it, given that YouTube isn't the producer of the content they serve. Music might be a bit more complicated thanks to the fucking idiotic way how licensing around that works. Anyway: nothing of that excuses the excessive use of ads they serve nowadays.
Nice idea, but then everytime a video that contains anything licensed by the content mafia is uploaded (even partly), the user in question breaks that license opening themselves up to lawsuits.
In a perfect world where only properly free content is shared that model would work. But that is not how most content shared on YouTube looks like.
