Aside from pricing - the ad free experience is stretch. Basically all youtubers I used to watch push commercials inside their videos, have additional sponsors, some add Patronite support and so on. So I'm paying but still get ads served heavily. Not to mention abusing idiotic "shorts" that give them better income.
So instead of justifying Premium I started unsubbing even those that I respected, but currently became plain ad space. Also archived manually most videos that I valued in the past that are actual knowledge/art and tend to just try to ignore youtube. It's not a complete detox (due to lots of embedded videos on third party sites) but so far feels like a relief.
- jeroenhd 3y agoSponsorBlock (and casting equivalents) make Youtube a lot more enjoyable. I can't imagine paying for Youtube Premium without it.
- szszrk 3y agoSure, but what's the point of that - paying not to have ads and then use addons to block... remaining ads. The payment here makes little sense. None if you actually don't like/need youtube music.
