      With how much YouTube a lot of people watch the money they for is reasonable at the moment, but you give them an inch and they’ll take a mile. If subscribing to YouTube gets fully normalized than they’ll add even more expensive tiers, increase the prices in general, re-introduce ads into higher tiers and paywall the entire platform altogether. I wouldn’t go anywhere near that platform for this reason.

      Yeah, that’s how much I used to pay for Google Play Music+YouTube Premium together.

      For just YouTube without ads, I’d maybe consider it for, like, $2.99 because I’d like the convenience of being able to use it on my Chromecast again, but $8/mo is just beyond the pale.

      I’m triple wielding with pipepipe (hard fork of newpipe and has been divergent for a long while as I understand it) and grayjay just in case. Although I rarely use grayjay tbh, but I use pipepipe a bit more than revanced.

    Honestly, swap background play out for queuing, and I would up dove on that so fast.

    Makes no sense to give background play without music capability. and I have to admit the mobile queuing system is a godsend to the mobile YouTube experience.
