This will be my last post on Lemmy...

Meh, I decided to just pop for Premium. I realized that of the online streaming services, YouTube is the one I use the most. And Premium gives me access to YTMusic as well as GMM which was paywalled back when Premium started. And all for the same basic price as Netflix, Amazon, or Hulu which I barely use and therefore dropped.
I've had it for years with a group of friends and even with the price increase, it's still well worth it (maybe $6 converted).
It's the only media subscription I have and I use it every single day.
I don't get this extreme hatred for asking money for such a massive service. YouTube streams unfathomable amounts of video and there's no way it's a profitable business to begin with.

I'd be more than willing to throw them a couple of euros each month. But paying like 14 per month for something I get for free now is just too much.
With YouTube Family it's €5.50 for me and my friends.

They've been making money off my private data for years, I ain't paying for shit now
There's no way YouTube is a profitable business.

Unfortunately, the time has come for me to leave Lemmy. Time will show where we all end up. I'll see you in the future... maybe sooner than you think?
Edit: Follow up post is here. Don't worry. You're not getting rid of me that easy. I'm just switching to piefed.world

That's been my feeling all along. $5-10 per month I can justify, but I really can't justify $23/mo to cover both my and my wife's accounts, especially given that they reportedly still sometimes show ads to premium subscribers. And honestly when they were getting really pushy about subscribing a year or two ago I refused because I don't give in to pushiness like that by tech companies
My group of friends pay €5.50 each for premium.
Spotify is €14.61.

If you're using a 3rd party client like Boost or Voyager it might not recognize the pifed domain as an activitypub instance.. our friendly devs are doing there best

If the "joke" is told poorly, no, I do not. Sarcasm via text is an art.

"Did my joke not land?"
"No, it's the 8 downvotes that are wrong."

Given how much tech likes to play "later then" with consent over a hard no i can only conclude their management is full of rapists

I will try to justify the hatred. I have no issue with them asking for money for a service. My issue is them building and adertising it as a free service. For years they ran it at a loss bank rolled by unlimited google dollars. It was impossible to compete with a company that makes no money and has no intention of making money. Then once they have 99% market share they turn around and use that stranglehold to raise prices on users. Year by year the cost keeps going up, the ads get longer and more frequent. Because where else can users go?
Its awful, I hate it and I cant support it.

Price went up for people not grandfathered in. I couldn't pay my sub in between job loss and lost my $7/month sub, but most of my music was on Google music now YT music, so I pay for it too.

Well I've got bad news for you
Damn, that sucks.

The FUCK man?! You nearly gave me a heart attack!
Sorry...
FOR NOTHING
