    Yeah I could care less about people saying they’d watch ads of they were less intrusive. I’m not, I don’t give a fuck about YouTube’s sustainability who happened to still have major growth while I ran an AdBlock this entire time.

    Maybe I’d consider paying if YouTube was the actual product I was paying for. Instead I get privacy invasive spying and my data being harvested, while am paying to do so. The product I’d want to pay for would have zero privacy invasive stuff involved. Which that isn’t going to exist, so I’m never going to pay.

      I couldn’t* care less.

      If you say “I could care less,” then it means you’re still caring.

      Premium is priced so uncompetitively my family can subscribe to all of Netflix, AppleTV+ and Amazon Prime Video for less than a YouTube subscription.

        I have YouTube premium family and it costs about $20/month for 5 family members. Are you sure those streaming services cost less than that?

            That Netflix price is for one account, two screens. Premium family is for 5 separate accounts, no matter where geographically and no password sharing. Your comparison is not fair.

              I have a family of 4. We don’t need more than two screens simultaneously.

              But let’s pay the extra $6.50 and push it to the top spec Netflix plan.

              All three services combined, services that don’t have their content made by their users, are now $41.49. Only $1.50 more than YouTube.

              Or you could swap Netflix for Disney+ and it would be $31.48.

              YouTube Premium is still a compete rip off.
