Subscribing to YT premium is also an evil act

Remember when the big selling point of cable TV was no advertising? And then it became 99% ads?

Yeah.

“Absolute evil” is a bit of a stretch, but it’s YouTube/Google’s fault (by closing off and centralizing their video platform) that it is impossible to go elsewhere for videos.

Google just made it really hard for creators to go anywhere else and created a monopoly of sorts.

Literally every corporation does or attempts to do the same thing. What we would need is to revive the politicians that broke up rockefellers empire and tell them to do the same with apple, microsoft, google, meta, amazon and every tech „giant”.

No more providing every imaginable service under one company.

Exactly. Every single corporation is evil and should be dismantled 🔥🔥🔥. This is just one of a thousand reasons to do so.

I kinda got grandfathered into Youtube Music by using (and enjoying) Google Music, and since YT Premium was only like $2 more, I got it. I primarily use it for the music. The no-ads is just a bonus for me, I guess.

I did the exact same. Google Play Music was actually a good service back in the day. I hated it when they turned it into YouTube Music. I complained about all the broken stuff, so they gave me a home speaker for free and upgraded me to YT Premium for a year. After that year I stuck with YT Premium, since it was less than $2 extra. They also fixed a lot of stuff I complained about. Not everything, but a lot of it. I think YT Music was released a bit before it was ready. Now it still has some issues, but is mostly fine.

Usually I watch 1 or 2 YouTube videos a day and without Premium I would most definitely not. I opened a YouTube video on a computer I wasn’t signed in the other day and it started with a 2 minute unskipable ad about crypto stuff (an obvious scam). So I closed it real fast, no video is worth sitting through that. Even with Premium I still need SponsorBlock. But with that combination watching videos is actually fun.

Still listen to YouTube Music all day at work, so that’s a good value for money for me.

I think that’s why a lot of people dislike youtube premium, because it seems they made the free youtube intentionally very annoying to use without it. Similar to spotify where if you use the free version there’s a ton of ads and half of them are from spotify themselves asking if you’re tired of the ads

Yeah, same. I installed UBlock Origin on my Firefox browser for free and gotta say that enjoying YouTube and YT Music Ad-Free is the way to do it!

YT premium is a good value for me and my family. Guess I’m evil.

I wish I could be as pleased with it. I don’t want to pay for a service and have that service still collect data on me to push ads elsewhere.

Unfortunately that’s everything. Netflix, buying groceries with a credit card, even driving your new car.

My 3 kids all use iPhone and we have a bunch of chrome casts. The only practical way to avoid the ads in YTP.
