I dunno. I pay for premium. The price feels justified given how much I use YouTube pretty much every day.

But if others feel differently, that's fine.

The far right shit is bad, there's a lot bad in general, but I still get a lot of value from lefty politics to atheism content to video game essays to music videos.

I see why you might make that decision.

Myself, I never use YouTube on purpose. I sometimes go there for music videos, short clips (like a Simpsons gag), and video game walkthroughs. Honestly, none of that really needs a mega global behemoth company to back it. The price they charge for premium is too much for me, and the ads are intrusive.

So, I don't want to pay what they're charging. But I get why some people might.
