    Same, the value I get from it through YouTube Music is significant. It’s also barely more expensive than Spotify in my region so it’s a no-brainer.

    Though I still use ReVanced to get SponsorBlock and other UI fixes.

      Yeah, YouTube has issues (dislike removal, demonetization policies, etc) but premium is not as bad as people treat it.

      I would actually be even more bullish on it if premium disregarded any demonetization of videos (edit: in terms of paying creators for the view)

      Edit: also I would wish any data collected from premium users is limited to improving the user experience and not for improving ads

        True. I think the only “data” they get from us for that purpose are their exclusive beta features, and even that is voluntary and not very common
