You get amazing features like: background play (which is more of an annoyance), remember where i left off (which doesnt work whatsoever, even 5 years after it was first released), download video’s to watch offline (you need to remember to download them first or hope that YouTube’s recommendation algoritm didnt pick videos you’ve already wachted) oh, and you can get a slightly higher bitrate for 1080p. So basically it loses all value.
they get even more revenue from other peoples contributions.
thats the whole point not more, not less.
so there is no point for “you” to pay them anything.
did you as a “premium customer” thought to be “the customer”? really? remember how little you personally pay for the service. it is mainly the ad companies who are youtubes “customers”. when you pay them for something, you only increase yt’s revenue, not more, not less, but you are not “the customer”, you are the product ;-)
Other features I guess. Like the bullcrap “are you still watching” that pops up every three videos, music maybe. I’m thinking of some waiting room TV thing, but then again you don’t want ads in that usecase either.
Is it a slow rollout or a experimental update thing? I don’t have it on mine.
Only in Germany in a test of a lower Premium plan so far.
Thanks for the info!
What’s the point of paying for YouTube Premium if you get ads anyway?

And YouTube music which honestly seems to do the heavy lifting on the value equation.
I remember when background play was for everyone.
As if there weren’t other ways to download videos from YouTube…
I’d recommend downloading from sources that don’t compress a much/badly as YouTube does ;)
Hehehe what do you mean? I have no idea what you’re talking about. 👀
Me neither laughs nervously
Yea, but your “download” f**ing expires! So it’s useless when you go somewhere with no internet.
wait, what? does it download as some proprietary format and not a normal video file then?
yep.
