    People who actually pay for YouTube when there’s free addons/apps that give all the features 100% free are idiots

      I almost never watch YouTube on my computer and it is almost always used on my TVs by my family. YouTube premium is probably the most useful streaming sub I have.

      That’s a wide brush you’re painting with.

      YouTube is the largest repository of information and entertainment in the world and it isn’t cheap to run. I also want to support the small creators that I watch so that it remains a viable income stream and they keep serving me content I consume.

      Fuck a price hike and fuck corpo google shit but this is still a steal for my personal watching habits

          Literally same - but hosting the world’s largest “free” library of content costs someone money and if I want to keep having access to that, someone has to foot the bill to pay the content creators and Google’s cost for hosting - so I’m happy to subsidize your needs
