All they’d have to do for me to buy premium is make a plan without YT music that costs less. It’s not that hard. I will never use YT music, and that has nothing to do with the quality of the service or whatever - I’m not interested in music streaming services at all.

Literally just make ads less obnoxious, and/or make YouTube premium not stupidly expensive. That’s all you fuckin have to do, YouTube, and you can cut a huge portion of the car and mouse game.

As much as I don’t want to believe it, it must be true. I guess development is cheap enough when you have foreign countries doing it for you

Absolutely. If premium was 7 bucks a month I would subscribe today, but 14 a month is insane!

There was a premium lite for 7 bucks but they discontinued it in October as part of their ‘fuck all yall’ campaign
