    This is a controversial viewpoint on here. You have to be pirating everything and using Linux otherwise you are corporate shill and will be downvoted for having a different viewpoint. Talk about an echo chamber.

    I have used YouTube premium for years and years now, it is the best value subscription service I use. I haven’t seen an ad in years, I don’t have to find loopholes and I get to support the creators that produce great content. Also music.

      I used to have premium for $9.99/mo until I got an email about them raising their rates come December. No thank you.

      I don’t, but I’m fine with paying for premium. I hate that a lot of content has sponsored content that your premium subscription doesn’t remove. Even if I paid for premium I’d still need to have SponsorBlock to make it watchable.

      I pay for premium but I ended up installing revanced on my phone so I could disable shorts and it also skips in-video ads which is really nice. I didn’t disable YouTube’s ad blocking though because I don’t need to.
