YouTube premium is so overpriced for a single user. Family however, dam that shits a deal when you take advantage of it.
Ublock origin is an even better one!
Works great for some applications, I use YouTube music and YouTube on a bunch of different devices on different platforms so having to make sure something works properly when I'm switching between devices on the fly is a pain.
Now do it for my tv, my phone, my wife's iPhone, and all my hotel TVs when I travel. And also include video downloads and background playback. And also include a music streaming service that also includes downloading.
sooner or later they will plan to have ads on prenium, much like most other streaming are doing.
And that's the point I drop the sub and abandon the platform. I've actually already prepared for that with my home server.
