    I read everyone bitching about the ads but I don’t get them, and I have access to an awesome music streaming service too… you know, cause I have premium…

        I won’t criticize you for that. If it works for you go for it. I just don’t want to.

        You don’t get access to youtube music with unlock origin. If you pay for a music streaming service anyway then going with youtube music and paying the few extra bucks to get yet premium is a nobrainer.

          You don’t need to pay for any music streaming service separately? YouTube is full of music without any paywalls

          Youtube Music worked just fine with uBO the last time I checked, and not a single ad either.

          My issue is that Spotify has sort of locked me in by knowing my tastes pretty well. My discover weekly and release radar as essential listening every week and I’m not convinced I’ll be able to transfer my fingerprint in a satisfactory way.

          You can listen to music on YouTube without YouTube music…

          You can download the music easily with yt-dlp…

          It’s probably a good idea for me to not try out YouTube music, so they can’t show me what I’m “missing” and won’t pay for that…

        They provide a good service they meets my needs… just like lots of other things I buy and use… I can see how using a service make me anyone’s boy… But hey, keep limiting yourself to simple black and whites… I see you are saving the big thoughts for everyone else

      Why would you admit to making poor financial decisions?

        Why is it a bad decision? It’s the same cost as Spotify, but I get ad free videos. I don’t get this line of thinking…

          It also supports the creators of the video as well. If I had the money I would choose premium over an adblocker just because of that.

            Why is it your responsibility to pay the creators? Google is a trillion dollar company and makes billions off of what people post on youtube. Shouldn’t they be paying them instead and not you?

            Besides, it’s only a matter of time before Google takes more and more of the cut that you think you’re paying them.

              Your logic doesn’t make any sense. They make money off of people paying for a service or watching ads. If you’re blocking ads then you’re costing Google money and no creators are getting paid. If you’re paying for the service then you don’t get ads, and you pay the creators, and you pay for Google to keep running the service.

              Lmao… Amazing logic.

              YouTube makes enough money to pay creators so you don’t have to.

              Ok, how do you think YouTube makes money?
