IDK why people are downvoting. I could see it being decent for YT Music but for YT Premium you’re literally paying for features free software can do for free. So it’s not really a good deal by any metric.

I don’t think this is a good POV. The biggest reason I prefer to pay for YT Premium is so creators still get revenue from me watching their videos

Except if you want to support creators and ensure they get all the money there’s far better ways that aren’t paying for adblocking lmao.

YouTube makes more money than ever, they are being greedy AF.

Alright, can you elaborate on these ways? You could support a particular creator via Patreon, or by buying their merch, sure. What if somebody you’ve never watched before releases a very good video that you stumble upon and watch? What if you don’t have the financial resources to be a part of dozens of separate patreons?

As far as I’m concerned, YT Premium is the best way for me to support all of the creators behind the videos I watch. For me, I also like YT Music so this ends up being a pretty good deal overall
