I mainly use FreeTube on PC and NewPipe on phone, not to avoid ads, but I just find it a much nicer and more peaceful experience (free of recommendations, Shorts etc).

I actually do pay for YouTube Premium family subscription, but its mainly to protect my less tech-savvy family and friends from ads, and to avoid seeing ads on my Android TV projector.

I was grandfathered in from the Google Play Music days. I enjoyed being able to upload my CDs to my library. still locked in at $8 a month. no YouTube ads and no music ads.

Huh. I wonder if they will increase the grandfathered price I've been paying as a Play Music early adopter. Hope not, because at $7.99 it still feels like a pretty good deal.

So Canadians can expect 20$ a month now?

If google adjusts creators revenue by 1/3 I'll pay that.

Don't these companies realise they'd have far more subscribers if they weren't so fucking greedy... Newpipe & Libretube ftw👍🏼

I was grandfathered into their oldest pricing model back when Google Play Music was at its peak, and now they're hiking my price too. I'll be glad to see the subscription go and use revanced, but I need a better music streaming platform that's 10 dollars or less
