    I’ve never seen a company SO devoted to get me to not use their service. $2-$3 a month is worth not seeing ads in my mind. They’ve made their website SO user hostile and their prices are just too damned high to justify paying them - I can just go without.

      If I could get Youtube Premium for $2-3, I’d probably pay. I don’t use it enough to justify spending $10 or whatever it is these days, so I block ads. If that stops working, I’ll stop watching Youtube.

        I would even pay the 11,99€, in fact I did in the past. Youtube’s algorithms made me stop.

        Spotify for example caters to my preferences. It took a bit to train it, but the weekly selection is spot on with lots of a variety, and they don’t try to shove pop music or other mainstream stuff into my face.

        YouTube tries to suckme into a shit hole of craziness at every turn. It tries to make people dumber.

            It was hard work, but a general rule is to like only songs that you could listen every day to, make playlists for everything else.
