YouTube is already a giant cost sink lmfao. It's basically the one decent thing they're keeping up still which is why they've been monetizing it as much as possible lately.

And I just canceled my YouTube premium family in favor of SmartTube and Spotify.

Somehow I'm yet to encounter a single ad in Spotify Free and I have no idea how or why.

But the downside is that I want to subscribe to CuriosityStream/Nebula and I can't find a referer link for the channels I like because they are all being skipped.
