YouTube premium is the only service I pay for. I get hbo thru my phone.

YouTube premium is very much worth the cost. Plus YouTube music for free.

I only watch YouTube unless it's a live sporting event. I would pay virtually anything to not have ads.

yes, but still not quite to where i feel the need to pay for it... Spotify, that was a different story... if i'm in a zone, jamming out, i don't want ads fricking that up... for some reason that is different to me

I'm actually becoming a little worried about the amount of Youtube I watch aimlessly.

I promised myself that I'd never become one of thosepeople who scrolled through TikTok or Reels aimlessly and looked dead on the inside, but now I'm doing a variation of it.

You also get the music service with it

I'd argue it might be the best $15 dollar subscription you can get period

It’s definitely gotten worse. The worst is when they start an ad during a LIVE stream and you miss two full minutes. It’s asinine.

If you watch a lot of YouTube then you have a choice. Continue to be petty and pissed off with ads or you can make the better decision and pay for premium. It's the best subscription I pay for each month.

The Spanish ads are what’s really pissing me off, ads for a free service hasn’t bothered me much. Ads in Spanish in America, is some BS.

Dunno I’ve got YT premium. I’ll alternate other streaming services but YT premium is always a constant. Well worth the price

Download AdBlock Plus chrome extension. It’s free. Can’t remember the last time I’ve seen a YouTube ad

Or just people who pay for the service and enjoy ad free Youtube and a great music app in Youtube Music. I watch more youtube than anything else, having Premium is a sub that i never consider cancelling when i am going through my subs.

YouTube commercials are definitely coming more often. But I tolerate them bc YouTube is still great free entertainment.

I bought premium years ago when an ad came screaming in while I was dozing off to a sleep vid. That was my breaking point.
