I don’t get the people shitting on this. It’s a very fair plan. Something I’ve been wishing existed for the past month, even. Like the article states, it’s for people who use YT to watch TV (me).
I just hope there’s a yearly plan to get a little bit more of a discount. Student plan is the same price but no yearly plan, so it comes to ~$90 per year.
I can only speak for myself, but I refuse to give Google a dime because they’re unfriendly to consumers.
I pay way more in Patreon subscriptions than I would pay for YouTube. I don’t see ads, and the creators make more money from me. And, importantly, Google sees none of it.
Smart tube
Yep. Smart tube on the TV, Firefox + ubo on phone and laptop.
I’m using revanced on my phone

I don’t like that a paid plan gives worse experience than free tools. For example, the downloads not being files you can store indefinitely and play by anything. Or not all ads being guaranteed to be blocked.
