There are no commercials with YouTube Premium, which is totally worth it. Why people feel entitled to pirate things still is incredible. People fundamentally hate paying artists for their work even though it's incredibly cheap, because they can come up with some bogus way to blame a corporation and feel, like you said here, laughably, like Luke Skywalker. Insane.
Youtube premium is like $15/mo. I believe it was more for the family plan I used to have. I canceled it like a year ago and don’t feel I miss it at all. I just don’t think Google is a company I should ever give money to directly. If some 3rd party service blocked YouTube for $15/mo I’d be more inclined to pay them vs Google.
