But I don't mind giving money to Google for using Google Music/YouTube Music. The no ads on YouTube is just a bonus. I'm paying for the convivence of playing any song I want on any device anywhere I am. And I assume a portion of that fee goes to the artists, although I admittedly don't know how that works.

YouTube used to play the music in the background without Premium. They also removed community subtitles which has led to many many videos being unsubtitled, which has helped nobody.

and it used to have only one skippable ad every few hundred vids. Most of the ad revenue doesn't go to the creators. Why else do you think many Youtubers just have a Patreon or direct pay instead these days?

so uh, still rewarding greed.
