I know I am gonna be one of the few, but I use YouTube as my main viewing of things. I don’t use Netflix, or any of the other services much. Premium is something I can’t be without anymore tbh, the ad free and downloading is super convenient for me and I like how a lot of my premium subscription goes to the creators I watch the most.
I don't have a problem with them charging for the service. But they keep raising it dramatically over and over. You're paying $15 a month to watch content a YouTube creator is getting 25 cents to create. If they wanted to charge $9.99 a month for a family plan I'd be all about it. At the prices they're charging there are services running full blown movie houses
It appears to me they've stopped their original productions.
