    I’m not surprised. YouTube has a constant stream of new material, curated to each user’s exact interests. And more back catalogue than you could watch in a thousand lifetimes. It’s definitely the service I use the most.

      And if you pay for Premium you get all features and zero ads. Many of the competitors have paid options that still include ads.

      Whether or not Premium is worth it is another debate entirely, but the fact of the matter is that it is simply a better deal compared to other streaming services.

        And a portion of your money goes to the creators you watch, and you get YouTube music included. I always say if you’re gonna pay for one service, the one that makes the most sense is YouTube.

          not neccesarily, not as much as you think, otherwise they wont be relying on brand deal, promotions and patreon. most of thier income comes from them.

        I like that I get music too. I honestly don’t mind my Premium subscription, I get decent value out of it for the amount of content I view. I just wish creators saw more of that money.

      Yet they only ever recommend things you have already watched, if there was a real alternative I think YouTube would die very quickly.

        I get new videos and new creators that are aligned with my interests all the time.
