    I had Youtube Premium - actually I think it was the family subscription - for a year or two. I cancelled it maybe a year ago, because they kept pushing shorts with no way of opting out, they jacked up the price, and they changed the algorithm in a way that made it keep recommending shit that I never, ever wanted to watch. I cancelled that sub and figured out how to get ads blocked on my desktop, phone and apple TV and I’ve showed 10+ people how to get that working since.

    So good job on that mission you’re on Google. Really making some money I bet.

      That’s me too. I was a family subscriber for years. Some of those years it was just myself on there too. But the price hikes and interface degrading was infuriating.
