I broke down and bought premium. I'm an expat in a developing country so it's about $4.50/month where I live. I tried for a while to block ads with pihole but couldn't do it, and I usually use the YouTube app on my Xbox, so ublock isn't a thing there.
Totally worth it for me. Sometimes we get caught up in the idea that we'll spend nothing for something, then go on to spend what amounts to big money in terms of time and energy to avoid paying.
For me if the cost of a nice dinner out (here) = 1 year of YouTube premium seems like a pretty good deal. And I'm still contributing something to content creators, I think.
You mean immigrant?
Sure, whatever
Lol they're both real words, so not sure why the clarification needs to be made. After googling, seems like intention to permanently stay in the "new" country is the difference. Don't really see how that distinction matters for this conversation though...
It's the same thing, just depends on which side you're looking at it from.
If you're in America it's expat, if you're a native in the country the expat is in then they're an immigrant.
