I've only subscribed to YouTube Premium for the past two months, and I like the ad-free experience and Music streaming bundled in one price, PHP159 or $3/month. Will this probably my last? Yesterday morning, Google automatically charged me for my YouTube Premium subscription through my e-wallet service.
It was successfully deducted, but the service didn't update its validity. Does Google want me to charge twice, or they want me to go back on uBlock Origin on Librewolf (desktop) and NewPipe on Android? lol
EDIT (2023-10-22): Google recently refunded the amount to my e-wallet. So far, my account is still active. If ever Google bans my account, then probably my domain will be banned.
I have reason: Costs. Recently in my region, Spotify racked their price from ₱129 to ₱149, ₱10 difference with YouTube Premium.
Plus, Spotify keeps shoving their podcast platform on my feed, which is annoying, and I'm only streaming music. I rather see or listen to something from my followed channels.
P.S. I only created a Google account just for YouTube and for my Android device, nothing else. I don't use other mainstream Google products.
Wait until you hear that podcasts are gonna come to YouTube Music
So there is no escape? Fck me then.
Use uBlock Origin on PC to watch YouTube without ads, NewPipe on mobile, and InnerTune for free ad free music using the YouTube music library, and no need to give Google money.
Yeah I have greyjay, newpipe and revanced on my phone in case youtube does some funky shit. I think piped.video works on pc too.
I will try this later. Thank you!
So far they said that they plan to offer podcasts for free if that helps any.
Apple Music has held off on including podcasts so far.
