YouTube Premium is actually decent value if you also listen to music a lot.
oi mate have you heard of ViMusic?
Nope.
We're all listening to yt music for exactly 0 pennies :)
Apple got me with their Appleymusic when I learned they have lossless everything
(Does not apply if mobile internet sucks where one lives)
👏👏👍
Yeah, I don't see why people have a hard time with a platform trying to support itself. Video hosting is expensive and there is a reason why there are few competitors that allow such open upload limits that is easy for anyone to use. Right now it is a good price for what it gives since YouTube Music is somewhat decent.
A decent share of the Premium cost goes towards actual channels that you watch, if more people had the attitude to pay for the service, we would probably see less ad integration for a lot of creators and they could actually be paid from the Premium subscribers
It's so funny to me how triggered people get when I say that.
Cope and seethe, in my view.
I paid for it when it was bundled with Google Play Music. It felt like a great value.
Too bad they abandoned GPM.
It got replaced by YouTube music, which does the same things.
Yt music is so much worse for curated music. It's all algorithmically generated. No actual official curated playlists.
I quite like the generated playlists though.
