To be clear: I prefer to pay for things instead of having to see ads but 13€ / month!? For a meta product that has inherently user-hostile design patterns even without ads?

Who does this appeal to?

    YouTube premium costs less than that, and that includes a Music streaming service

          Fuck the music. I pay for it just so I don’t have to see any ads when I’m trying to see a 2 minute movie trailer or an hour long tutorial. Worth it.

            Yeah, quite frankly I watch so much that it’s just worth it. I don’t use other streaming services, so it’s fine for me.

          Shrug, I spend $22 for family. It is a fantastic value when you get music+yt for the whole family.

          You can believe whatever you want. Google Music sent me a free Nest Mini back in the day, and paying for YouTube Pro is right now the cheapest way of having voice activated ad-free playlists on it.

          But feel free to give me an alternative “script” that gets similar functionality for cheaper.
