I canceled all of the services. This new subscription system has zero value.
i exited years ago but I do pay for youtube tho... can't do those ads.
Install uBlock Origin on PC/phone and you have no ads, for free.
For TVs and Android boxes there's SmartTubeNext (also free), an alternative YouTube front-end with no ads and a lot of cool features you'd only dream of on the standard ad-filled app.
If you get Premium, you don't get ads except those added by the creators in their videos.
I don't see the moral reason to skip paying reasonable prices for content that I enjoy.
The money goes to google, not the creator, but you do you, bub.
Google shares Premium revenue with creators.
Also, Google provides the distribution for me to watch the videos. There isn't a case around where the distribution chain isn't compensated for delivering the product some how.
SmartTubeNext Is spectacular tbh. I expected it to be clunky but no, it works better than the default YT app
