Yeah I agree. Although decentralized servers also cost money so I make sure to pay the admins. I don't mind paying for things that I use, but I just don't think Youtube premium is a good deal :(

YouTube premium is the worst streaming deal I've found. Yesterday I cleaned up all my streaming services and my wife was interested in adding YouTube premium. It's $23/mth for absolutely no features that are worth it. I pay less for the D+/hulu bundle. I have no idea why anyone pays for it. It's cheaper to buy a media PC every year to use ublock in a browser than pay for YouTube premium.

YouTube Premium should be tiered. First tier as it is now, but cheaper because it's not good enough (I would pay maybe $8). And a higher tier with the current price that has actual offline capability, etc.
