Somehow paying for Netflix is fine but god forbid I want to watch a 10 hour loop of the DS9 intro without ads.

I have a YouTube Premium family plan spread between me, my brothers and our mom, only reason why I bother

I can pay for Netflix to be entertained for days at a time if I want to by original and classic shows and movies that I can't watch anywhere else, or I can pay for YouTube to show me a bunch of kowtowing brow beaten "creators" try to skirt their ever changing draconian rules long enough to make something that barely counts as entertainment anymore WHICH I could also already watch for free with ads.

Why would I ever pay them for anything?

I mean, if you use creators without quotations, it gives them a bit more money and gives you no ads.

Vs having no ads and giving them no money.

Sure it's still not great, sure if you like the creators they deserve more, but it's not the worst thing in the world if you have the money to spare.

A further way to divide the masses. It's almost as if the masses desire division. We must judge each other based on the others decisions. Even if we were in complete agreement half of everyone would think the other half is agreeing incorrectly.

In my region YouTube Premium includes YouTube Music and is a dollar or two more than paying for Spotify Premium. I cancelled my Spotify sub and went over to YouTube. Seems like any okay deal to me.

100% pay mainly for music and family app share. Ad free is the bonus.

So I was against premium for a while, was using vanced and it was fine. Nowadays with my boy getting a bit older and how much we use YouTube it's just easier to have premium. I know people have mentioned the android TV app but I have a Vizio TV and can't get it on there. Also, I'm not going to try to root my tv or anything like that (not even sure if I can with this one)

I like reminding people that Netflix were totally fine with Chappelle's transphobic shit being on their service, you shouldn't give them your money.
