$7,99 a month for viewing non-Google content with a little less ads sounds… still shitty.

Honestly, swap background play out for queuing, and I would up dove on that so fast.

Makes no sense to give background play without music capability. and I have to admit the mobile queuing system is a godsend to the mobile YouTube experience.

"Premium lite" wow...

Nah I'm good, I've got Revanced.

Do they even engrish

Naughs in NewPipe where both of those have been standard for years.

Yeah, that's how much I used to pay for Google Play Music+YouTube Premium together.

For just YouTube without ads, I'd maybe consider it for, like, $2.99 because I'd like the convenience of being able to use it on my Chromecast again, but $8/mo is just beyond the pale.

I'm triple wielding with pipepipe (hard fork of newpipe and has been divergent for a long while as I understand it) and grayjay just in case. Although I rarely use grayjay tbh, but I use pipepipe a bit more than revanced.

It kind of makes sense since people have been using YouTube for music long before YouTube music is a thing.

With how much YouTube a lot of people watch the money they for is reasonable at the moment, but you give them an inch and they'll take a mile. If subscribing to YouTube gets fully normalized than they'll add even more expensive tiers, increase the prices in general, re-introduce ads into higher tiers and paywall the entire platform altogether. I wouldn't go anywhere near that platform for this reason.

NOL! ROFN 😂
