I saw this post and wanted to ask the opposite. What are some items that really aren’t worth paying the expensive version for? Preferably more extreme or unexpected examples.

Youtube premium
Just out of curiosity, do you avoid YouTube or just deal with the ads? I’ve been on a premium family plan for years and love it - we watch a lot of yt.
Just use an AdBlocker!
Doesn’t work with TV’s.
Depending on what you use on your TV, SmartTube may be an option. It even blocks sponsored segments within YouTube videos.
SmartTube works pretty well
Oh, sorry! I’m totally not used to use YT on TV
Sure does, install smarttubenext and done.
Smarttubenext doesn’t make pihole work. It blocks the ads itself. You also need an android TV or TV device to use it.
I assume the response to this would be a pi-hole, but I just don’t personally have the patience, energy, or spare running machine to set that up ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Pihole doesn’t block YouTube ads.
Huh, didn’t know that 💪
Do the content creators still make money off of your views if you do not see an ad?
I use YouTube Premium with a family membership and have used all of the slots with family members. $33 a month isn’t bad for 5 people to have ad free YouTube, still fund the content creators and also have YouTube Music.
It also comes with YouTube music which rivals spotify. Kind of the better option if you are paying for a premium service.
I use Premium, though I don’t subscribe to literally any other service. That said, I’m losing patience with the price increases. One more and I’m likely going to nope out. For me, for now, it’s worth it to avoid potential hassle and is about the only thing I have in my life atm that doesn’t cause some level of worry or concern.
