I bought Youtube Premium for this as I get far more of my entertainment and education from YouTube these days than any other avenue - price is reasonable and it is about the cost of two Venti Latte's for me here. Giving this issue any more thought and effort is not worth my hourly rate.

So you're someone who likes Starbucks and gets their education from YouTube. Hmmm

  I thought Starbucks pricing would be more relatable to the audience here. But I got a bean to coffee machine at home and last night I watched to several lectures by noted biochemist Charlie Lane after he appeared on the Lex Friedman podcast, he talked about the origin of Eukaryote cells 2m years after bacteria (learned that there are two groups who are related but using a different chemistry) and how the Krebbs cycle plays the role in life and death. Admittedly some of the chemistry was beyond me.

    Eukaryote cells didn't appear 2m years after bacteria. More like 2bn years.

Had also subscribed to Premium but got annoyed by the ever bugged app on mobile, crashing way too often. Moved back to browser. Couldn’t care less as they just take my money but can’t provide a good experience. Just as a ransom to remove the ads is too little for that money they’re demanding. And too much trash in the shorts, it's like the Instagram feed all over again. Lots of unrelated recommendations. Without browser plugins that actually improve my UX on YouTube I wouldn't even bother to come back. This way I can actually see how bad the ratings are on lots of videos YouTube is recommending, trying to steal my time, even without displaying any ads… but why show me that kind of crap lots of people already disliked? I can't fathom how terribly YouTube evaluates user history.

yes of course everyone can afford that, right? and they wouldn't dare raise the price to ridiculous levels once the subscriber count is high enough, right?
