    Fuck the music. I pay for it just so I don’t have to see any ads when I’m trying to see a 2 minute movie trailer or an hour long tutorial. Worth it.

        Oh I use uBlock origin too. But on desktop. I very often consume YouTube on my tv and mobile. Too much work getting ad blocking to work on those.

        I self-host a ton of stuff, and have sailed the high seas for decades to grow my personal collection.

        BUT

        I pay for YT premium, netflix, and steam, so that my nephews can be on my family plans. Their life can be pretty shitty a lot of the time, and good music, games, and simple distractions help.

        I’ve had it for years and one of the biggest features that I find worthwhile is being able to easily download videos to watch on the plane or play like podcasts when I’m driving. When I first got it, I had a really long commute, so being able to download stuff and play it with my phone screen off is helpful.

      Yeah, quite frankly I watch so much that it’s just worth it. I don’t use other streaming services, so it’s fine for me.

    Shrug, I spend $22 for family. It is a fantastic value.

    You can believe whatever you want. Google Music sent me a free Nest Mini back in the day, and paying for YouTube Pro is right now the cheapest way of having voice activated ad-free playlists on it.

    But feel free to give me an alternative “script” that gets similar functionality for cheaper.
