Fucking lazy sheep. Yeah, give poor Google your money and help them perpetuate the ever corrupting monopoly that is eroding and censoring our entire internet.

Sheep here.
We watch YouTube on several devices, Apple TV being the primary.
We watch it enough that we don’t want to be bothered with ads.
Despite its flaws, it’s an amazing service and a technical feat.
We happily pay the fee.
I do have YouTube Premium, because between the ad-free movies and TV shows and the music, the family sharing option was cheaper than Spotify and a couple of streaming services we gave up, and the few new content creators I do watch get paid more. But if they keep raising the price, I'll look for something else.
For me, almost all the media I consume is YouTube so I’m fine paying up to a point but if it goes past 20 without a heap more features I’m out. I was already shocked they took away “continue watching” from normal users.
How many of those subscribers are like me, definitely watching YouTube from Argentina.
Are your recommendations in Spanish?
Heard localized recommendations were an issue with buying “from” India.
Nope. The only thing different is that I don’t pay for it in £.
