I've been paying for yt for years. And it was fine for years. Then one day I have a blank home screen with no suggestions on all my tvs and rokus etc, because I have history turned off, and have no subscriptions.
Note, it didn't go blank when I turned off history. History has always been turned off. Only a year or so ago it went blank and nags me to enable history on every device every time.
I partially caved and subscribed to 20 or 30 channels, and still have a blank home. On some interfaces it does show new videos strictly from the subscription list, but nothing else related, and it includes 50% fucking shorts mixed right in, and no way to filter those out.
And of course yt phrases the nag like an error that needs to be fixed, and pre-loading the focus on that button on launch, every time, every device. Now every single time I turn on the tv it's a several click sequence on the roku or tv or google remote to navigate off of that to the subscriptions item half way down the left menu. It's such a slick futuristic life I'm paying for. I wish I could make my money work as shitty for them as this service does for me.
Here is the "value" of paying for youtube:
It's having only 8 of your fingernails pulled out instead of all 10.
