Oof I think this service is only worth it if you have a family plan and everyone helping. That is how I personally make it reasonable in terms of pricing.

      It means the creators I enjoy actually get paid, whereas with adblock they don’t get any ad revenue.

        The creators will see jack shit of that price increase. It’s all going into exec’s pockets. The smart ones all have Patreon or other ways of monetising their content anyway.

          Sorry, I don’t see what this has to do with my comment? I was answering the question “What is the point of Youtube Premium anyway?” and said nothing about the price increase.

      Block ads without having to use an AdBlocker, but like who doesn’t use an AdBlocker these days

      On mobile it allows you to continue playing videos when you close the app

      And a recent addition they’ve added to it for mobile is the ability to fucking queue videos

        Hard to do from a game console or Chromecast, which happen to be the two methods I use most often for watching YouTube.
