Is the value proposition for YouTube Premium artificially inflated by Google by withholding features? Yeah. Are the ads absolutely intrusive? Totally.

But Discord is a fucking chat app with a $10/mo fee for what? Greater than 10mb uploads and stickers? Please lol. Maybe YT needs to change their color ways to “gamer colors” and add some leetspeak and the gamer chums will flock back credit cards in hand.
