Not enough people buying Premium, eh?

  I just lost my premium subscription after about 2 years of paying $3/month in Argentina. Here it’s $24/month (family plan). YouTube is unbearable with all the ads. Sometimes a 10-minute video has 3 as breaks. I’m only using it for precise purposes now, not scrolling and exploring, and finding alternatives as much as possible.

    OK, am I the only person that has a working ad blocker and doesn’t get YT ads? Literally never seen one.

      Exactly. Why bother paying? Firefox + uBlock Origin on the computer, SmartTube Next on Android TV, ReVanced on Android phone. I haven’t been seeing ads on YouTube for years.

      If you’ve used YouTube on anything besides a computer, then you would know that the experience is suboptimal.

  Cancelled YouTube Premium, YouTube TV, and Netflix this month. Prime is up next. Will keep Spotify unless they decide to jack rates up again soon.

    Spotify is an evil company. They’ve started adding fake songs in to pay themselves instead of paying royalties to real artists.

      Yeah, I agree about them being evil. Unfortunately, I got outvoted on which services to keep.
