    So a way to remove ads at the cost of $ and better tracking. Instead, I'll stick with piped, greyjay, ublock, etc and make it harder to track me and save the $.

    Fuck Google.

      Didn't they already have this before but removed it? At least in my country a "lite"-variant was available but they removed it like last year.

        I've always wondered why Google doesn't include a YouTube subscription with YouTube TV. They charge enough for it already...

          Nah, you better wait. I've heard that Youtube 2
          is almost out.

            Still doesn't allow background playback though, so it's useless to me

              Because you haven't approached the situation with the mindset of a careless greedy fuck.

                    I have no problem paying, just let me use my app of choice, without ads, and don't track me. If YouTube did that, I'd be a paying customer instead of a leech. I pay for Nebula and watch on Grayjay, so I do put my money where my mouth is.

                      And that’s why I sideload a modified YouTube that includes ad blockers, sponsor segment skipping and background playback, among other things.

                        I feel the battle will get harder for extractor like NewPipe. I really hope NewPipe will always work despite Google constantly changing their YouTube code.

                          I won't pay for YouTube almost solely because Revanced is such a better experience than YT could be. They cannot bundle in Sponsor block without an outrage.

                            Try Grayjay. It supports background playback.

                              I don't disagree, but Premium does let you skip over frequently skipped sections.

                                  Why would the actively make search worse to try and drive engagement time?

                                    Oh I didn't know that. That admittedly changes things somewhat. Google still makes enough money from me though.
