Does…. Any one, actually, you know, subscribe for YouTube?

[–] Humanius@lemmy.world 180 points 1 year ago (59 children)

I have a YouTube Premium subscription

It’s not bad if you max out the family subscription (5 members) and use YouTube music.

Still, I’m a hypocrite because I absolutely hate their habit of hiding features behind the paywall, and making ads more obnoxious to irritate users into paying for premium.

Ya'll should just VPN to Argentina and get the sub for cheap, it's a few bucks per month compared to the obnoxious 13.99.

I pay around 2€ for mine per month plus the VPN fees, it's a no-brainer

Just sign in via a turkey tunnel and sign up from there?

Ah ok, certainly makes sense for ur usecase. I didn't meet anyone who was YouTube music yet. Does it have high quality audio or is it just YouTube quality?

[–] Iridium@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It has 256kbps AAC, which is the same as Spotify (in the web browser anyway - I think the Spotify apps do 320kbps)

[–] Anamana@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

That's enough for most people I guess
