    I subscribed to Youtube Premium because of how much I actually use it in my day to day life.

    But, it’s the only regular subscription I have, but only because I use it across multiple platforms and away from home.

    But the price hike they just announced is unjustified, especially when they KEEP TAKING DOWN MY FAVORITE CREATORS VIDEOS. Poor Speedo and David Firth.

    *Edits for spelling, I’m pissed off and piss drunk

      I also got YouTube premium, felt a bit rude to spend tens of thousands of hours without paying a cent.

      My main issue is demonitising the videos also stops premium revenue, which is a bit dumb. Like sure I get removing ad revenues, but if I’m a paying customer and want a share of my cost to go to whoever I’m watching, it should just do that.

        This is why I’ll never pay for Premium, but I’ll cheerfully join a creator’s Patreon or other direct subscription if I really enjoy their channel.

        There was a workaround to signuo for YouTube premium using a VPN to turkey. It makes it $3 a month. Maybe it’s 5 now with the price hike, idk. Not sure if it still works or not though
