Cool. I stopped paying for it back when it was still called "YouTube Red", during one of their many crackdowns on creators' freedom in the name of benefitting advertisers. I dumped it and installed an adblocker, and eventually YouTube Vanced and its successor Revanced.

Revanced is free
Newpipe, grayjay and many others too
Youtube is also sending notifications about a coachella live stream, even if the notification settings/preferences are turned off.
Even if you have Revanced.
Haven't heard about Revanced before. I'm pying for YT Premium but since I use Spotify for music YT Music isn't helping their case if their raising the price.
According to this reddit thread it also happened to people with Premium https://old.reddit.com/r/youtube/comments/1sic32k/getting_coachella_notifications/
Since you haven't heard of Revanced, ignore that and check this one out instead: https://morphe.software/
There was some drama in the Revanced team, a bunch of the devs left and started Morphe. Revanced is on life support right now.
Luckily it has not happened, yet. Either older version or they're rolling it out in waves once again.
But fucking hell, if any app sends me an irrelevant notification without my permission. It loses it's permit to exist on my phone.
I mean... it's quite literally happened already. I'm not the only one who got the notification so they are definitely doing something. Maybe not with all accounts but 1 is too many.
Sry. It hasn't happened for me yet or anyone near me. So they must be doing it in waves, which is usually done based on location.
I do agree that even 1 is too many, just that it's not as widespread as of now.
Ah, got it.
I wonder if its a location thing. I'm in northern Europe, if anyone got the same notification, let me know where you at
