    If YouTube premium was $4.99 a month it’d be worth a consideration. But then again adblocking is free and privacy respecting

          Hopefully it’s a positive feedback loop situation here. More nebula subscribers-> more revenue -> more creators -> more subscribers. It’s good that it’s owned and ran by some creators so hopefully they stay true to their cause here.

      Exactly. Premium is basically twice what I’m willing to pay. I’ve considered going premium multiple times, and have multiple times suffered sticker shock and backed away.

          I know folks post on reddit about finding Google Fi family plan groups, maybe there’s something similar for google fam groups?

      I actually think YouTube premium is worth its price. Spotify is the same price, but you get less.

        I want ad free YouTube but don’t want YouTube music. I don’t want to pay for extra shit that I won’t be using.

        I use Spotify way more than I use YouTube. Spotify does one thing and it does it extremely well.

        If Spotify added unlimited free Uber eats delivery tomorrow and bumped up the price to $20 a month, then sure, it’d be a good deal but I wouldn’t want any of that.

          You see: the difference between us is that you see YouTube Music as an extra. I see the other features as an extra since I only really use YouTube music.

          Sure, it sucked about 2 years ago but it has become really good in the last few months.

          If you don’t use Spotify and use YouTube a lot, YouTube premium is worth it.

              They are somehow already split. I only subscribe to YouTube music.

              When you subscribe to YouTube Premium, which is more expensive than the YTM only sub, you also get complete access to YTM included.

          They had that in parts of Europe for a year now as a trial. But they are discontinuing it this month, making us choose between ads, and lots of YouTube premium crap we don’t want.

        I’m not sure about individual plans, but YouTube Premium Family went up to $23 per month. I’ve been a member since day 1 and they eliminated all grandfathering for me. Spotify is $15 for Duo or $17 for family.
