Haha. This is something that they have been testing for some time now. I ended up changing to YouTube premium a few years ago from Spotify and I think it’s pretty good!
I find it hilarious that people down vote me. It’s horrible apparently to be subscribing to something that’s google…
It’s like saying fascism is great if you just lick the boot.
You’re missing the entire point.
Some people just love the taste, you know?
Kinda weird how eager some people are to brag about how much they love paying for YouTube Premium, though. Sometimes repeatedly, and as a response to every other comment. Like a paid ad, almost. Just being proud of paying for things is weird on its own but… damn, stinks like Google’s paying them back well to behave like they’re starving for it to come give them a cookie. Maybe it’s bots. … Nah, humans will serve their favourite companies at no charge and without any effort to make them. Bleh.
The communities here can be like that. Personally if you like the service and are willing to pay, why not? Comparing this with facism is doing facism and those who live and lived under facist regimes a disservice.
i left spotify when they paid joe rogan podcast. the 50 shuffle limit also annoyed me because 300 songs on a playlist get missed. youtube premium is no ads youtube and music
For me it was Spotify’s patent on manipulating people’s mood with music, noped right out of there after that. I’m in a position where I can afford to go back to buying songs, so I actually did that (better for the artist and I don’t have to worry about any recommendation algorithm accidentally making me depressed because depressed = “more engagement”).
I’m not sure if it was related but, coincidentally, I found my mental state in a far better place about a year later.
