I wouldn’t mind paying for YouTube, but their current subscription price is extortionate given what I’d get out of it vs. much more premium streaming services. It’s funny how their ‘Lite’ subscription trial seems to have disappeared off the face of the Earth - I’d probably go for it at that price.
I had premium get bundled in with my music subscription before they killed it off. They offer nothing Firefox and ublock origin do better. Now I’m going to just need another add-on.
What? Killed off? I still have it.
Google Play Music got axed for a shitty YouTube run app with less features.
It had support for uploading and storing local music so if you didn’t pay monthly you still had access to music you “bought” on other platforms. It was about the only thing that they put out that was worth paying monthly for.
Ah ok, you are talking about the transition from Play Music to Youtube Music. I still use Youtube Music and I have to say I am fine with it, the ability to add videos from Youtube to playlists is useful when you find some obscure cover of something. But I never uploaded my music in the past and I understand where you are coming from if you liked the feature, also I have a family split plan.
Yeah, this is the problem. If you watch YouTube every day, sure, I get it, storage and bandwidth cost money. But if you’re an occasional user who watches a few videos a week, no way is the subscription worth it.
I think it depends on what you want. If you want high-budget entertainment stuff, yeah, you can certainly do better, but if you’re looking for non-entertainment information on something, YouTube is really preferable.
