Gotta protect the children from thing like boobs and the word fuck so they can get them started on what really matters, becoming hopelessly addicted to a social media platform to drive advertising revenue.

I've used offline browsing before, it definitely used to be a feature they offered.

Just double checked this. Currently I am paying for a family plan which gives me 5 users and it costs $18.99 CAD. The family plan with 5 users is $22.99

I believe this recently increased because I kinda ticked off when they launched Stadia and sent all the YT premium customers free Stadias that came with Chromecast Ultras and I recall feeling like an idiot for not having the right plan and Google not being willing to switch me over and give me the free hardware.

What perks? I don't understand what benefit exists other than blocking ads they no longer allow me to block.

I was also a GPM user though I will admit everything I used has finally made its way to YTM. So I can't complain about this anymore and it still a superior offering to the yo-ho alternatives.

The price is not the issue. $3/month is incredibly reasonable, especially given how much I use YouTube. The issue is how they are bullying people into paying it, at that point it doesn't matter how good the deal was.

$3/month really means nothing to me, considering I already $18.99/month for a YouTube music family plan.

My issue is them purposely attempting to make my experience worse and then selling what they have arbitrarily taken away back to me.

If you product is so valuable the only way a conpany can sell it is to attack your user's experience so you pay them to stop it really starts drawing too many similarities to a mob protection racket.

EDIT: In order to be fully transparent, apparently inflation made a fool of me, the YouTube premium family plan has increased to $22.99/month so the difference would be $4 per month, not $3.

Are they going to claim that as a $13 write off or a $1400 write off?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Nah, this is what happens when society is more concerned with sensationalism than factuality.

I will reiterate my point. This outrage is not rooted in some deep seeded hatred towards AI, it is because Disney claimed they didn't want it used on their streaming platform and then immediately used it to market one of their flagship products.

I think people are mad because they banned technology on the platform and then clearly continued to use it.

Rules for thee, not for me.

It's crazy how fucked up Apple is when you speak objectively outloud about their products and policies.
