The worst part is that a Youtube Premium Subscription costs more than Netflix or other streaming providers here in Australia.. And you're basically paying for ad removal of a metric ton of low quality content (and their music service, which isn't as good as others I found)

That being said, this might not be true (I've seen lots of BS online regarding browsers in the past)

when the email came through for the price hike, I told my wife we should drop the family plan and use more advanced adblocking and invidous etc - apparently my demo didn't pass the wife and children test... so guess who's continuing to pay for YT Premium?

Can you ditch the wife and kids?

That's actually my suggestion. Clearly the wife is nuts
