    Tbh just normal YouTube + Premium is great and feels reasonable value to me.

    TickTick is a better reminders app than anything FOSS ive tried

        Luckily, I ended up signing up for Google Play Music the day it was released for $7.99/mo and that price has been grandfathered in to every change and price hike they’ve done. So now I get YouTube Music and YouTube Premium for the same price 12 years later. I don’t think I’ll ever switch music providers or stop watching YouTube if I get to keep the current price.

        I don’t remember the last time I saw an ad on YouTube.

        I alegedly YouTube music and premium is super cheap if you VPN from Argentina or türkey. At least that’s what I heard (alegedly)

      Depends on the region, which they are cracking down on, but at Turkish pricing for a family plan at just over $2pm it’s extremely worth it.

      I never understood this, the only benefit you’d get is getting access to higher quality audio from Youtube Music.

      Newpipe, Piped, Invidious, yt-dlp + mpv + rss feed reader are all libre.

      Unless you use youtube for its recommendations algorithim, which in that case yeah, nothing to say there.

        I regularly watch a lot of specific creators and I like that my views support them

        I also watch YT on stuff like Apple TV where adblocking would be annoying anyway
