    I know I am gonna be one of the few, but I use YouTube as my main viewing of things. I don’t use Netflix, or any of the other services much. Premium is something I can’t be without anymore tbh, the ad free and downloading is super convenient for me and I like how a lot of my premium subscription goes to the creators I watch the most.

      That’s where I’m at. I use it regularly for learning new things and for entertainment, so I don’t mind paying for it, and getting rid of ads while supporting creators is perfectly fine with me.

      I don’t have a problem with them charging for the service. But they keep raising it dramatically over and over. You’re paying $15 a month to watch content a YouTube creator is getting 25 cents to create. If they wanted to charge $9.99 a month for a family plan I’d be all about it. At the prices they’re charging there are services running full blown movie houses

      Yup happy to pay what I pay for youtube premium and youtube music, totally worth it for both!

      Maybe I could find it expensive if it was only one service

        I don’t use YouTube music and don’t find the price too absurd considering the average daily watch time I have.
