This will be my last post on Lemmy...
Unfortunately, the time has come for me to leave Lemmy. Time will show where we all end up. I'll see you in the future... maybe sooner than you think?
Edit: Follow up post is here. Don't worry. You're not getting rid of me that easy. I'm just switching to piefed.world

I'd be more than willing to throw them a couple of euros each month. But paying like 14 per month for something I get for free now is just too much.
They've been making money off my private data for years, I ain't paying for shit now
There's no way YouTube is a profitable business.
That's been my feeling all along. $5-10 per month I can justify, but I really can't justify $23/mo to cover both my and my wife's accounts, especially given that they reportedly still sometimes show ads to premium subscribers. And honestly when they were getting really pushy about subscribing a year or two ago I refused because I don't give in to pushiness like that by tech companies
they reportedly still sometimes show ads to premium subscribers
I’ve been on YouTube Premium since it was YouTube Red, and I’ve never seen an ad when I’m logged in.
I justify it because YouTube Music is included, so I can get music streaming without paying for a similar service from Spotify or Apple or Amazon or whomever, and also get ad-free YouTube on all my devices and whatnot.
Good for you, but it doesn't take much searching to find "I pay for premium, why am I seeing ads?"
My group of friends pay €5.50 each for premium.
Spotify is €14.61.
With YouTube Family it's €5.50 for me and my friends.
