I was happily using this for a year or so now. Feels fairer than using an ad blocker. But now they apparently want more money out of people. Feels like some sort of internet video apocalypse is happening, where the services become extremely fragmented and expensive, like YouTube, netflix, hbo, Hulu, Disney+ and whatnot. Each wants some 10-20€ out of your pocket.

I guess that means back to ad blockers and piracy…

    Well true, but YouTube does not have all the content of the other streaming platforms, and also wants you to pay extra for e.g. movies.

      I’d imagine most people using YouTube aren’t looking for TV/movie style content, rather the user created stuff. Or maybe TV shorter clips.
