If it was fairly priced then maybe, but as of now yt premium just isn't a good opntion
$15 a month is on par with other subscriptions, part of that money goes to the people you watch so they can get paid for what they do, I don't see what's unfair about this pricing. Yes, the features they give are lackluster and could easily be done by third party apps before they killed them but I pay for premium so the people who do YouTube as a job can make a living.
Because YouTube is well known for actually paying their creators..... A lot of the creators I watch get a lot of their videos demonotized for nothing really, so I'd have to become a channel member to support them, at wich point I might as well just completly switch to their patreon. And just because it's on par with other stupid subscriptions, doesn't make it fair. There are a ton of useless perks to me I'd have to pay for. Doest Premium still come with YT music? Yeah that kinda shit. I you use all the stuff, fair, but I certainly wont, so no the price is not fair for me
