I saw this post and wanted to ask the opposite. What are some items that really aren't worth paying the expensive version for? Preferably more extreme or unexpected examples.

    Just out of curiosity, do you avoid YouTube or just deal with the ads? I’ve been on a premium family plan for years and love it - we watch a lot of yt.

    I assume the response to this would be a pi-hole, but I just don’t personally have the patience, energy, or spare running machine to set that up Β―_(ツ)_/Β―

    Do the content creators still make money off of your views if you do not see an ad?

    I use YouTube Premium with a family membership and have used all of the slots with family members. $33 a month isn't bad for 5 people to have ad free YouTube, still fund the content creators and also have YouTube Music.

    I use Premium, though I don't subscribe to literally any other service. That said, I'm losing patience with the price increases. One more and I'm likely going to nope out. For me, for now, it's worth it to avoid potential hassle and is about the only thing I have in my life atm that doesn't cause some level of worry or concern.
