There's the clear greed there in keeping background and offline play in the highest tier. But the two people I know who actually pay for YouTube Premium because they can't stand the ads would probably benefit from this cheaper tier, since they tend to be watching it from their home WiFi 99% of the time.
- Teever 2y agoI'd love to see someone calculate the ecological damage that has resulted from the business decision to prevent users from turning their screen off while listening to content on the official youtube app. What percent of battery life loss in phones that can't easily have their batteries replaced is attributable to this business decision and how many millions of phones has this resulted in being sent to the landfill years before they otherwise would end up there?
