I would pay if
-
Google promised not collect any data but now you would pay and have your data collected.
-
I just want load my subscription feed and they are all there not hidden away.
-
Hid shorts or have them on separate tab.
-
Bonus would be if related videos where acutely related videos in time span. Not the mess they are now.
Also why would I have to pay YouTube music? I don’t want that.
