Not gonna lie, I bit the bullet and got YT Premium almost 5 years ago. Honestly, one of the best purchases I've ever made in my adult life, hands down

Purchase? Subscription*

I had Youtube premium when it included google play music. GPM was so good...

I unsubscribed everything when they changed to youtube music. Terrible music platform

You're going to make me cry remembering my days with gpm. Hands down the best music platform that was.

[-] TheRealKuni@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Agreed. Plus I know my views pay slightly more to creators than ad-supported views (and far more than ad-block views) so I can feel superior to my fellow man.

You could use an ad blocker and give even more to the creators you like via Patreon (or ideally better means).

Porque YouTube/Google gana mucho más que el dueño del canal por esa transacción, además de que lo hace explotando a cientos de miles o millones de personas en el mundo que quieren vivir de influencers.

I think it's worth it too. People are just weird about paying for a product that supports individuals creative ambitions just because a company takes a cut. Admittedly better content than streaming services most the time anyway.

I typically put children's music on YouTube when driving with my kid. Not having to shuffle with the phone to skip ads while in the car is a life saver.

[-] Xanis@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

I've had it for AGES. I agree that ads have been a bit much and many websites almost unusable without Origin. YT Premium though has been fairly solid with a couple hiccups.

Admittedly, I use YouTube as my primary source of entertainment. So the price is easily justified vs other services.

[-] PlantDadManGuy@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

I agree with you but it made me physically nauseous to click the button because I remember a time when YouTube was awesome and free from ads.

[-] ColdWater@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 months ago

Is there any real benefit for using premium over Adblocker?

[-] TargaryenTKE@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Free (legal) movies. Most are stuff I don't want to see anyway, but every once in a while a diamond in the rough pops up

Edit: Like someone else mentioned, YT is my primary entertainment source for a few reasons, so I've definitely gotten my money's worth. I wouldn't recommend everyone get it, but I'm happy with my decision

[-] selokichtli@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 months ago

Doesn't seem like you bit any bullet, you just paid for your subscription giving money away. What's the biting the bullet part for you?

[-] TargaryenTKE@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Lol giving away money at all, especially to large monopolistic corporations like Google. They don't need my money, they already have plenty
