I'm on the opposite side, I love what Youtube has become, and Youtube Premium is givinge lots of value.
Sure, I'm not happy about authors optimizing for some alforithms, like increasing playtime, allowing thumbnails that have nothing to do with content, and heavy moderation of important words (like COVID), but I live with it.
- ziml77 6y agoI have the same feelings about YouTube. There's great content on there and is absolutely worth paying for Premium. That helps support the creators you watch too because a Premium view is worth more than an ad-supported view. Of course it really is the content that is making it worth my money here. There is no platform loyalty. If another platform amassed a significant number of quality creators, I would certainly switch over.
- xiphias2 6y agoFor me actually the platform is amazing as well, the iPad app for Netflix is still flaky when internet is not that good, and offline viewing is buggy as well. I'm travelling a lot, and I haven't found anything close to YouTube in a stable source of legal content. Those are the times when I switch to YouTube app, which always works for me, and downloads are working as well. The only thing that I'm missing from it is support for downloading in background, when I'm not running the YouTube app.
