Welcome to the club, I was on the $14.99 Family Premium from YT Red/GPM. I left in a fit to Spotify, but crawled back since I just do not get along with Spotify. It was quite an increase to $22.99, but I literally watch YT as my main source of entertainment, and listen to YT music via Android Auto in my car, as well as through the house all the time. So I am getting a lot of use out of it. but I am not sure I could stomach another increase anytime soon.
How do I install it on my TV? How do I sync? Do I install on every device I use? What if I don’t have admin rights? What if it’s out of date and the ads play anyway?
For less than a Starbucks coffee I have a month of premium, and I don’t have to play cat and mouse.
If you want a TV solution, look at iSponsorBlock, not as seamless but much improved. And free.
You don’t need admin rights, and it auto updates.
I have premium, but only because I can get it ridiculously cheap by using a VPN. I would never pay current asking price for premium, especially when they increased the price twice in a one year period.
If you watch low effort content you will get low effort content. I watch amazing content that is well worth the few bucks a month. Late night shows, stand up comedy, documentaries, news analysis, tech reviews, car reviews, programming news and tutorials, chess commentary and courses, architecture and interior design tours, sport summaries, popular science…
BTW, Walmart is a huge company, I assume you also don’t pay there? Apparently robbing corporations and farmers it also would be fine, because “the products are so low quality nowadays” …

Jesus $23?? No thank you! Spotify and FreeTube is good enough for me 😅
It’s the most expensive major service. I couldn’t stomach it at even $20.
I mean it’s a family plan. If you’ve got enough people it’s a good deal, if not then it’s not. That’s how family plans tend to work.
Even with just 2 people it’s cheaper than to each have your own account
Up to 6 users as it is a family plan but ya it’s pricey
I mean, if you have a family it’s a pretty good deal
Found family is also allowed if they live in the vicinity

I actually have grayjay on my phone (and paid for it). I don’t mind paying for stuff I use.
I’ve also used revances, and smarttube tv. But as I said right now the value is still “ok” but reaching it’s limit for sure.

Not even close to the experience.
One of those is ublock, literally the same experience minus the ads. How is that not close to the same experience? Do you miss the ads?

How expensive are your Starbucks coffees? O.o

A Starbucks coffee is around 5 euros.
I don’t want to look into anything, much less if it’s less seamless, I’m satisfied with the default YouTube app on my TV.
You need admin rights to install any software.
And YouTube premium is over double that, potentially triple come January.
A) This is absolutely not true.
B) It’s a browser extension
It’s more than triple for a family plan, but you share it with people and you land well under 5 euros per person.
Please tell me how to install chrome or Firefox on a corporate laptop without admin rights, I’ll wait.

What about my TV, where I watch most of my content? What about inter-device sync? What about paying the creators for their work?
I could also shoplift in my local supermarket, but I’m into “that sort of thing” (paying for people’s work).

Lidl is also a big Corp.
