I cancelled yt music subscription today after hearing about the price increase. Musi is a much better iOS app than yt music anyway bc the interface is simpler and it actually lets me play all the music while yt music is like you can't play this song right now due to copyright.

This is why I'm starting to use newpipe
Christ. I am a premium subscriber for years but it’s always been on the edge of too expensive even as it is. They’re really pushing it.

I only had the lite version of premium so I could watch youtube adfree on my phone and tv, but then they started pushing shorts so hard I had to scroll past them to see my subscriptions so I cancelled. Using adblock in desktop browser now so I can block the shorts shelf.

I mainly use FreeTube on PC and NewPipe on phone, not to avoid ads, but I just find it a much nicer and more peaceful experience (free of recommendations, Shorts etc).
I actually do pay for YouTube Premium family subscription, but its mainly to protect my less tech-savvy family and friends from ads, and to avoid seeing ads on my Android TV projector.
People actually pay money to watch YouTube? I thought that was some kind of elaborate practical joke

Thankfully the price of my YT free account is still only the cost of everything I've ever written in email or a web browser so all good 👍
