It is endlessly frustrating that companies have universally decided that they won't let people say "no" to stuff, ever. There are no longer options to reject stupid-ass new "features", only postponement until next time you open the app/website/program. They'll continue pestering you for the rest of your life. I realize that my frustration may be a little over-zealous, but we deal with these interfaces dozens of times per day and this is user hostile behavior. There isn't really an option to just use another service or program, since the entire technology landscape has been commandeered by a few major corporations, and they all enact the same shitty things as a group.

You're only saying that because they forced you to buy it!

Actually I've had YouTube premium for a few years now and I love it! I use YouTube a lot, but I also then get YouTube Music which I also use A LOT because it's actually a really good music service.

Music plus ad free YouTube? Video/music background playing? All worth the money to me, and I'm helping keep a service I enjoy alive as YouTube still isn't profitable. Which also slows enshitification of another product I enjoy.

I want to help YouTube be profitable while I still like it, to

I tried the YouTube music service and I hated it. It would play the low quality BS that people uploaded instead of studio quality recordings from the bands. It also has way too many live versions of the songs. I also didn't like the interface. My wife and I considered signing up for YouTube premium, but it costs as much as traditional cable. I might as well just get Comcast or something. At least then I could watch baseball without a VPN. But I'm glad you enjoy it.

Having all the live versions of some songs is the best part for me. I love live recordings.
