You should pay off you don't like the ads.
YT + Music is a fantastic value.
Queue a line of people screaming it's trash while not being able to get over their addiction of the service.
I will pay only when Google ensure that my data will not be used for any type of advertising or AI training (this obviously includes selling to third parties). Months ago I read around, I don't know if it's true, that even those with a premium account will see ads. If that proves true, it means I will never make the subscription. It's pretty simple.
Then deal with the ads 🤷♂️
Or just use FreeTube lol
Nah, don't pay Google with money or data. They already have enough.
Nah, I don't like ads. Too much work to play cat and mouse over ad blockers.
I have installed uBlockOrigin once and have literally not done any configuring since then. Not a really good cat it seems.
Im with you on this. Ive had premium youtube since it was google music and I could upload my own mp3 collection. It is well worth the cost.
Agree. I love my ad blockers and 🏴☠️ but I happily pay for YouTube because it's given me so much over the years
