    I’ve never seen a company SO devoted to get me to not use their service. $2-$3 a month is worth not seeing ads in my mind. They’ve made their website SO user hostile and their prices are just too damned high to justify paying them - I can just go without.

      If I could get Youtube Premium for $2-3, I’d probably pay. I don’t use it enough to justify spending $10 or whatever it is these days, so I block ads. If that stops working, I’ll stop watching Youtube.

        I would even pay the 11,99€, in fact I did in the past. Youtube’s algorithms made me stop.

        Spotify for example caters to my preferences. It took a bit to train it, but the weekly selection is spot on with lots of a variety, and they don’t try to shove pop music or other mainstream stuff into my face.

        YouTube tries to suckme into a shit hole of craziness at every turn. It tries to make people dumber.

          How did you manage to make Spotify not a steaming pile of garbage?

            It was hard work, but a general rule is to like only songs that you could listen every day to, make playlists for everything else.

              That’s definitely what I’ve done, but it recommends country daily despite my immense hatred for it.
