I completely agree the price is far too high.

I actually do subscribe but only because I get a deal through my mobile network that, long story short, cuts the price by two thirds.

I can’t understand their pricing policy at all. And they’re doing a terrible job at explaining their cost basis if it’s actually what it costs to serve video to us (highly doubt it).

Linus Tech Tips did a nice video on that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDsJJRNXjYI

But it should not be done by LTT, but by Google.

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.
