If you pay for YouTube premium, you're a clown and you're only fueling the enshittification.

If you watch ads instead of paying a modest fee to remove them then you're a clown. Companies do need to make money for the services they provide, I just disagree with the amount.

“Modest?” $14 a month? $5 would be modest. I literally pay less for whole as streaming services.

I pay less than 5usd for a family plan, I just subscribed through a developing nation with a VPN.

Which, as the article states, they are starting to end that practice.

That was my comment about the amount that should be charged. I'll happily pay $5/mo, but not $15. I'm happy to pay for services, just not the amount that many want to charge.
