      I know it’s irrational but at this point if I bought premium I would feel like I’ve been bullied into it.

      It would feel less sour if they didn’t lock other features like background play into premium, for me that’s too much of a dark pattern to support.

        Honestly, I couldn’t give tuppenny fuck about background play, or any of the other shit they bundle in. I literally just want to be able to watch YT on my Apple TV without having to suffer through unending adverts, but I’m not prepared to pay those ratfucking shit heads £20+ for the family plan just to be able to do that.

        I was happy as shit using my Ukrainian YT Premium account, paying £4 a month to watch videos. It was great. Never used YT Music because I didn’t fucking want to, never had videos playing in the background because I didn’t fucking need to. Then they were all like “Errr, we don’t think you’re in Ukraine so you have to pay us more”. And fuck that noise.

        So now I watch the odd video on my laptop on Freetube and have been researching how to run the thing that automatically downloads my subs and adds them to Plex. I’m a dumb shit though, so can’t figure it out.
