  Same. It is no longer worth it, I’ll be sad to lose my music streaming, but there are other pathways that some may consider unethical.

    If only there was a place to buy DRM free music in the file type I want for use in whatever device I want also for movies.

  If you subscribe to premium using an Indian IP address, for example, you’ll get it for like a buck a month

    I did that for a month from Argentina, then Visa stopped working. I started a personal invidious instance and haven’t looked back.

      a bit off topic but when you say personal instance where is it hosted? And if it is strictly personal, doesn’t google create the same profile for you which will be assigned in your IP if it is hosted in your house, or in your VPS’s IP if hosted elsewhere?

        I have a VPN gateway VM that randomly chooses a VPN region.

  YouTube Music is no longer optional. It’s now bundled into the basic features of Premium and Google uses that to justify an insane price hike. Just corporate greed, nothing to see here.
