A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.

Ever since I unsubscribed, I get at least 1 pop up a week begging me to come back.
If you wanted to keep me, Google, you should have done a better job of remembering what "grandfathered plan" means.
If you use ReVanced, NewPipe or FreeTube you won't get these pop ups :)
Tried to get ReVanced on my phone, but I don't really feel like giving up the features walled behind SafetyNet by going through the trouble of rooting, and for the non-root option I didn't want to have another background process always running only for it to sometimes not work anyways.
My main use of YouTube is casting to my TV to watch videos in bed, so alternative apps aren't really viable either. If this were me 10 years ago when I actually had time and interest in tinkering around, I might be all for it. But these days, I just don't have the time or patience to play the cat and mouse game with Google to avoid ads. I just try to reduce my YouTube consumption instead.
ReVanced can make use of root, but doesn't require it. I use ReVanced on an unrooted phone, and the core of ReVanced is the official YouTube app so everything works the same way. You pick "patches" to disable ads, shorts, etc.
Well, if you can find me the rootless option that doesn't require also keeping ReVanced Manager/MicroG running in the background at all times, I might be interested.
Manager only does the patching, so it's not running. MicroG well... as long as you don't want to login...
and it is marvellous
what was your grandfathered plan? I'm still paying $10/mo
It's going up next month
reeeeeeeeee. I'm probably fine with $12/mo if that's the new price. but if they raise it again in the next 5 years I'm out
I think it's like fifteen, but I'm pretty sure I'll be fine with it too.
that's like a 50% price increase, we'll see how I feel when it actually hits
Yeah, that's how I am.
I doubt it will be a constant any more though.
I was paying a family plan which was $15/month back when I subscribed during the Google Play Music days, with the guarantee from Google that my rate would not go up for being an early adopter.
About this time last year, they sent emails saying "Hey, so we know we told you your rate wouldn't be going up, but...it's going up to $23/month. But as a 'we're sorry' gift, you can still pay the lower rate for two whole months after we increase it for everyone else first! See? You're still our favorite."
I switched to Spotify out of pure spite and pay less now for a Duo plan.
I'll have to decide what ad free YouTube is worth to ms
