I keep telling people that YouTube Premium is the most cost effective membership there is, and they look at me like I'm crazy. Since I got it YouTube has become a service I genuinely love.
This is a bigger thing on reddit it seems, where I assume more readers are teenagers with little/no income.
I cancelled mine, because the ads provide enough friction to keep me from spending too much time there.
This. No ads is great, but the big surprise was the ability to download videos on my device and bring it with me when traveling. It's one of those features I didn't know I wanted until I had it, now I can't see myself not having it.
Definitely worth it. I'm glad to have had my YT Red / Google Play Music subscription grandfathered into YT Premium / YT Music Premium for the original price.
