    For as many hours of YouTube I watch 4+ daily at least. I don’t mind paying for Premium to avoid the hassle. Plus I get music with it.

    Edit: haters can ligma. Down vote all you want!

      I’m with you, but I’ve found that any post here on Lemmy about YouTube, Spotify, or any other streaming service ends up the same: artists have enough money already, artists are paid better through merchandise and performances (no citation provided and the author acknowledges they don’t actually do this), these services don’t pay enough anyway, non-paying users are entitled to a better experience; all this is to excuse themselves of stealing content from creators they love by bootlegging it illegally.

      For as many hours of YouTube that I watch, maybe 1 hour daily, I don’t mind setting my VPN to turkey and paying $15 for the year. I mostly use it for music anyway… I certainly wouldn’t pay the full price for it though.

      Yep, same here. Premium is worth it for me too. I don’t understand the entitlement on lemmy with YouTube, it’s worse than reddit.

      To your point, I watch YouTube more than Netflix or Disney plus. The only reason I’m not paying for YouTube is because I have it for free now.

      The ads are so annoying that I might subscribe for an add free experience if I didn’t have other means to block it.
