Without the ads, I'd probably spend way too much time on YouTube. I need something to push me into the rage-quit territory after enough time has passed.
I subscribe to Premium and quit a while back with this idea in mind. It didn’t work. The ads made me rage-sign-up-for-premium.
Of the various streaming platforms I subscribe to, I probably get the most value from YouTube.
Though I wish there was an option to get it for less without YouTube Muisc, that didn’t also lead to ads on YouTube itself. I was excited when I saw Lite announced, then I read the details and my excitement quickly faded and turned into disappointment.
