I opened the article because of that. It takes 1 hour and 15 minutes to fully charge. Is that really so disappointing to someone? Feels fine to me. I'm more disappointed it doesn't have a headphone jack again.

I'd rather have a cheaper version premium just for Youtube without ads though. I've heard there is or was Premium Lite in some countries, but not where I'm from. I don't need Music, I already pay Tidal for that.

Or is YT Music with Premium so much better than the free one? When I cancelled my Spotify and were looking where to move to, I gave the free YTM a try. It would be two birds with one stone - YT without ads and a replacement music streaming service. But I just hated the whole experience. The UI, that my music "follows" get mixed with YouTube subscriptions, and that it always plays a video with every song.

There's a news/politics website in my country that had radio ads, billboards and everything with a slogan "Nobody dictates us what we should write about."

This tweet reminds me of that and doesn't really fill me with trust either.

BTW, the mentioned website is described as a "disinformation medium" on Wikipedia.

I don't remember them ever in a separate section on the subscription page. Maybe it was just one of google's A/B testing for some people or I just hid them immediately and forgot. :-)

I don't get why everyone is so mad about this. When I saw it yesterday, I was glad they finally put them into a separate box I can just scroll past. Before, Shorts were just mixed in between the normal videos in the subscription feed and that was fucking awful.

This post is a day old and I see it in my hot & subscribed feed! And I don't even subscribe to this community. I've had it blocked actually. lol

Looks cool and calm!

BTW, I don't know what software you use for editing, but the purple fringing around the highlights at the top can be fixed in RawTherapee using Details-Defringe filter. I've been fighting with that on some of my pics from woods too.

Quite good result considering you draw it from memory.
