I definitely recommend people check out Youtube Premium if you hate ads and use YT a lot on smart TVs and mobile where ad-blocking is more difficult.

The majority of my video watching time is YT and I primarily do it on my phone or TV, so it is worth it for me. I wish I could cut out YT Music and save some money while using a music streaming service I prefer though.

I’ll upvote you back up to 0 at least.

I’ve had YT Premium (formerly Red) for years. It’s actually a good service, but I’m not too happy it sounds like prices are going up soon.

This is the second time in the last few years I think. They're starting to turn the screw.

If you got Android Smart TV that allows apk install, such as a fairly cheap FireTV Lite, check out SmartTubeNext. NewPipe or Revanced for mobile. Laugh the difficult in the face if you got the time and mood to try these out :)

Oh I know. Unfortunately, I use Apple for my phone and TV

I definitely suggest people buying business class if you have having your legs broken in economy.

I mean, unironically yes. If you fly enough to where economy leg room is a problem, you should be upgrading.
