Welcome to the club, I was on the $14.99 Family Premium from YT Red/GPM. I left in a fit to Spotify, but crawled back since I just do not get along with Spotify. It was quite an increase to $22.99, but I literally watch YT as my main source of entertainment, and listen to YT music via Android Auto in my car, as well as through the house all the time. So I am getting a lot of use out of it. but I am not sure I could stomach another increase anytime soon.

I actually have grayjay on my phone (and paid for it). I don’t mind paying for stuff I use.
I’ve also used revances, and smarttube tv. But as I said right now the value is still “ok” but reaching it’s limit for sure.

Duh. I guess there's a third of those weirdos buying Apple.

Not even close to the experience.

Ublock is simply removing adds & more things you might want to be gone and Revanced is literally the YT client with many of the PrEmIuM features for free. But sure, pay up and get milked if you're into that sort of thing.

What about my TV, where I watch most of my content? What about inter-device sync? What about paying the creators for their work?
I could also shoplift in my local supermarket, but I’m into “that sort of thing” (paying for people’s work).

One of those is ublock, literally the same experience minus the ads. How is that not close to the same experience? Do you miss the ads?

How do I install it on my TV? How do I sync? Do I install on every device I use? What if I don’t have admin rights? What if it’s out of date and the ads play anyway?
For less than a Starbucks coffee I have a month of premium, and I don’t have to play cat and mouse.

Jesus $23?? No thank you! Spotify and FreeTube is good enough for me 😅
QuarterSwede@lemmy.world 1 year ago
It’s the most expensive major service. I couldn’t stomach it at even $20.

I mean it's a family plan. If you've got enough people it's a good deal, if not then it's not. That's how family plans tend to work.

Even with just 2 people it’s cheaper than to each have your own account

Up to 6 users as it is a family plan but ya it’s pricey

I mean, if you have a family it’s a pretty good deal

Found family is also allowed if they live in the vicinity
