I’d be much happier to pay if I could ensure I don’t get personalized recommendations and I could use it with yt-dlp. I can probably opt out of personalized recommendations, but I haven’t checked yet because I don’t use youtube through its main interface much.

What really irritates me is that I pay for YouTube TV because it’s the cheapest option out of all “cable-like” plans, and yet I am not allowed any benefits on actual YouTube. It’s ridiculous that I am already paying well over the premium amount so why do I have to watch more ads?

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.
