I’ve never seen a company SO devoted to get me to not use their service. $2-$3 a month is worth not seeing ads in my mind. They’ve made their website SO user hostile and their prices are just too damned high to justify paying them - I can just go without.

If I could get Youtube Premium for $2-3, I’d probably pay. I don’t use it enough to justify spending $10 or whatever it is these days, so I block ads. If that stops working, I’ll stop watching Youtube.

I would even pay the 11,99€, in fact I did in the past. Youtube’s algorithms made me stop.

How did you manage to make Spotify not a steaming pile of garbage?

It was hard work, but a general rule is to like only songs that you could listen every day to, make playlists for everything else.
