    If you’re impacted, it makes YouTube Premium more expensive than Spotify Premium and Apple Music.

    I find this particular comparison interesting to bring up. A Youtube Premium subscription also includes a Youtube Music sub (at least in the US, not sure about everywhere else). Which theoretically makes those subscriptions unnecessary as well (ignoring differences in catalog, device availability, etc. of course).

      Yeah but YouTube music is utter trash and we don’t use it anyways. We’re just gonna cancel the subscription tbh with you, paying $25 a month was already not worth it so we’re just gonna jump ship now contrary to how we dealt with Netflix and their incremental increases. Getting tired of service providers overcharging everyone and constantly raising prices, not because they added more value but because you got used to paying for it so you’ll probably keep paying.

      It’s time for a new YouTube, y’all.

        agree. it’s got probably the best content range, but the most God awful UI of all the streaming services I’ve tried

        Peertube. It definitely needs more content, but as far as I can tell, it is one of the few viable alternatives. Primarily because one single server does not have to stream the video to every client because every client who watches the video also by default I think acts as a seeder to new people watching the video
