Nope. I don't see the point when I can get its features + a whole more for free, all it takes is a couple minutes reading and fiddling when a patch is released.

Yeah, YT is my TV essentially, so it's easier just to not have to deal with ads on my TV or phone or use workaround like downloading everything and then uploading it/casting it. I still download some longer format stuff to watch later, but I watch quite a bit on the app itself.

Me but only because I get a student discount and it comes with YouTube Music so I don't spend money on Spotify. Would absolutely not pay full price JUST to remove YouTube ads, I'd just get an ad-free YouTube app and use adblocker on desktop.

I have both. The available music libraries seem comparable, but sometimes you can find unreleased stuff because YouTube music includes other stuff uploaded to YouTube. Apple Music has better lyrics.

I don't have adblock since I'm paranoid of adware and viruses on my phone. I watch a lot of Googles and just let the 30 sec commercials play, and 95% I can skip them after 5 seconds.

Serious question though, is the $8 really worth it to not see a 30 second ad?

Not asking to sound facetious, I just genuinely didn't know there was an appeal given the imo crazy cost Google is asking.

You're paranoid of adware and viruses... So you don't use an adblock? The primary way to block the main delivery method of viruses?

Roughly 80% of the time I'm home I have YT on. It's absolutely worth it for me.

Is there an intuitive way to browse the music selection on YT?

Like do I need to find the official artist's channel and hope they have their entire discography?

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

I don't click on them, at all. Ads simply existing doesn't mean they will actually be able to get onto my phone.

I don't visit any sites Im unfamiliar with, I type all sites in manually, and I absolutely do not click any ads or any site links to another site whatsoever. A YT ad simply playing won't infect my phone. You have to actually click on it.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

To this one I guess it's a case by case thing. Every single add I get it's always some commercial ad that allows my to skip after 5 seconds. I literally can't remember a time YT forced me to endure a commercial longer than 10 seconds at most.

Internet Download Manager can also DL any youtube video, as well as most video feeds on most sites
I've been using it for over a decade now I think

There's a YouTube Music app for mobile, regarding desktop, I'm not sure but there's probably a YouTube music player or something.

You can just search by artist, song, album, etc just like on Apple Music. I don't use it that much though because I prefer Apple Music.

If by intuitive you mean like iTunes or Spotify, then no. It's really a different type of interface.

If you have any apps auto installing, you have something else going on the background of your phone or device. A video on YouTube on its own can't install stuff on its own. Something in the background is initiating that.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

This is not true.

If you have a YT ad video installing shit on your device, you most definitely have something else going on in the background of your device. An ad video on YT on its own cannot install shit on your device.

You have to actually click on the ad, a banner for the ad, a link for the ad, or have some kind of adware in the background of your device to initiate it. Even if it means a significant other, a child, or some other person clicked it in the past.

A YT video ad on its literal own cannot just install something. Something has to kick start it even if it was prior or in the background.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

Again, this must be a case by case thing.

I do not get multiple ads that force me to watch 30 second ads. ALL ads I get it's always some commercial ad that allows my to skip after 5 seconds. I literally can't remember a time YT forced me to endure a commercial longer than 10 seconds at most. 10 seconds is the most I'm ever forced to endure an ad without a skip button. People don't see the same ads.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

What I said wasn't debating you why you shouldn't pay 10/month.

My posts aren't a campaign to convince others to not subscribe.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

I'd say the same to you, Google it. Although you should be also careful to what you google as well, for a multitude of reasons including info.

If you have shit installing on your device from watching a YT video, it's because of something you or someone else on your device did to your device.

The idea that it just installed itself isn't entirely accurate. Something you or another user on that device did, has caused this even if you are unaware you or another user clicked on something they shouldn't have.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

Well its my reality. I don't get those forced ads. Why is this something you feel the need to argue as if this is some kind of attack on you?

People do not get the same ads. Ads also tend to be tailored to each consumer based on several factors, two of those being ip address and cookies.
