Welcome to the club, I was on the $14.99 Family Premium from YT Red/GPM. I left in a fit to Spotify, but crawled back since I just do not get along with Spotify. It was quite an increase to $22.99, but I literally watch YT as my main source of entertainment, and listen to YT music via Android Auto in my car, as well as through the house all the time. So I am getting a lot of use out of it. but I am not sure I could stomach another increase anytime soon.
-
Jesus $23?? No thank you! Spotify and FreeTube is good enough for me 😅
-
It’s the most expensive major service. I couldn’t stomach it at even $20.
-
I mean it's a family plan. If you've got enough people it's a good deal, if not then it's not. That's how family plans tend to work.
-
Even with just 2 people it's cheaper than to each have your own account
-
-
-
Up to 6 users as it is a family plan but ya it's pricey
-
I mean, if you have a family it's a pretty good deal
-
Found family is also allowed if they live in the vicinity

I actually have grayjay on my phone (and paid for it). I don't mind paying for stuff I use.
I've also used revances, and smarttube tv. But as I said right now the value is still "ok" but reaching it's limit for sure.
-
Not even close to the experience.
-
One of those is ublock, literally the same experience minus the ads. How is that not close to the same experience? Do you miss the ads?
-
How do I install it on my TV? How do I sync? Do I install on every device I use? What if I don't have admin rights? What if it's out of date and the ads play anyway?
For less than a Starbucks coffee I have a month of premium, and I don't have to play cat and mouse.
-
How expensive are your Starbucks coffees? O.o
If you want a TV solution, look at iSponsorBlock, not as seamless but much improved. And free.
You don’t need admin rights, and it auto updates.
I have premium, but only because I can get it ridiculously cheap by using a VPN. I would never pay current asking price for premium, especially when they increased the price twice in a one year period.
-
A Starbucks coffee is around 5 euros.
I don't want to look into anything, much less if it's less seamless, I'm satisfied with the default YouTube app on my TV.
You need admin rights to install any software.
-
A Starbucks coffee is around 5 euros.
And YouTube premium is over double that, potentially triple come January.
You need admin rights to install any software.
A) This is absolutely not true.
B) It’s a browser extension
-
It's more than triple for a family plan, but you share it with people and you land well under 5 euros per person.
Please tell me how to install chrome or Firefox on a corporate laptop without admin rights, I'll wait.

Ublock is simply removing adds & more things you might want to be gone and Revanced is literally the YT client with many of the PrEmIuM features for free. But sure, pay up and get milked if you're into that sort of thing.
-
What about my TV, where I watch most of my content? What about inter-device sync? What about paying the creators for their work?
I could also shoplift in my local supermarket, but I'm into "that sort of thing" (paying for people's work).
-
How would I know? I don't have a TV for well over a decade now and it isn't my responsibility to teach you how to use your hardware and software.
And please, you're robbing YT, not the content creators, which I don't care about nowadays either since YouTube became removedTube. It's all about cash and milking people with low effort clickbait garbage content. If you feel you have to pay for that then that's on you but I've been distancing myself more and more from the platform for how shit it and its content became.
-
Ah yes, the #worksonmymachine thinking.
If you watch low effort content you will get low effort content. I watch amazing content that is well worth the few bucks a month. Late night shows, stand up comedy, documentaries, news analysis, tech reviews, car reviews, programming news and tutorials, chess commentary and courses, architecture and interior design tours, sport summaries, popular science...
BTW, Walmart is a huge company, I assume you also don't pay there? Apparently robbing corporations and farmers it also would be fine, because "the products are so low quality nowadays" ...
-
Ah yes, the #imtooentitledtodomyownresearchandwork thinking.
Followed by a bunch of mumbo jumbo that clearly shows that you also have no idea how their algorithms work. A little hint, they're nowhere near as smart as you think they are, and neither are you.
Walmart left my country for not being able to compete here, so no, I don't pay there. Not that this false equivalency makes any sense at all because no one is robbed for me not watching a bunch of garbage ads. Maybe stop shoving your head into big corporate assholes.

Lidl is also a big Corp.
