YouTube is a great experience with a paid subscription. It’s the streaming service I use the most and I find the monthly cost to be worth the content I watch there. It’s also an even more effective way to fight the disruptive influence advertising has on our online communities and helps fund the creators on the platform that I enjoy.
Everyone should make their own choices, I’m just highlighting one of those choices that works well for me.
Thanks for contributing! What is the difference between your experience and mine (with an ad blocker)?
Not the person you replied to, but I use the queue feature a lot, the ability to just queue up 10 videos at night and fall asleep without having to worry about making a playlist is nice. I also use their experiments a lot, like for example they currently have an AI experiment active that let's you ask questions that it will answer based off the video. someone post a video that looks super boring or bland or too long, but you wanna know what happens? just ask for a summery, you get something that looks like this.
honestly if the download offline functioned better that would be an amazing feature too, it's just glitchy for me.
Currently the price is steep though, I've told myself if it raises again I'm jumping ship myself
I download videos using revanced and seal, works flawlessly. Really neat.
I would use those but, I can't go without my recommendations, like thats a hard deal breaker to me, and revance doesn't like to allow for recommendations easily without also risking account ban, as it relies on the microg suite. I should just seperate my youtube to another account but like, I have so many years of recommendations on this one its hard to part with it
