As a premium subscriber, it's definitely gotten worse for me over the last month. Whatever they're doing on the back end, it's pretty terrible.

Why are you paying your abuser

[–] [email protected] 34 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Honestly: I'd rather pay for YT and pirate Netflix.
The amount of Entertainment I get from YT exceeds the scale of Netflix and I use it daily at 2-3h per day.

And while yes, it's free, I can also support the creators with a better click price than a regular click.
Is it a better solution then the respective patreon/whatever? Nope
Do I want to pay 5€/month or video each time? Fuck no. I am not king Midas.

Yup, that's how I see it too. I don't like seeing ads, the creators do at least get more money, and the actual value I get out of YouTube is pretty high
