Honestly I can’t believe it’s taken them this long.

I will 100% quit using YouTube when I start seeing ads again.

I don't blame you, but YouTube is one of the only streaming services I actually pay for. I have for years and it's totally worth it to me, but I watch a ton of YouTube content that you can't find anywhere else.

So, basically : you pay to remove ads, to use youtube as a music player when you could do the same without having to pay ?

I mean, of course they dgaf. I'm with you but it's a pretty empty threat

I mostly use it for music nowadays since Spotify also repulses me. The content on the site is horrendous nowadays. If the old videos are in the archive and won't have to bother saving them myself the goodbye will be very swift.
