I've been paying for YouTube Red (now Premium) ever since they started it. It's very much worth it. Between Netflix and Youtube you can replace cable.

It's frustrating how people complain about ad supported models while at the same time aren't willing to pay for it. So much entitlement. There's also the option of not consuming their resources.

I already don't have cable, there's nothing to replace. I don't use youtube very often and if Google wants to paywall youtube entirely that's fine by me. Don't disingenuously introduce some silly entitlement canard - I never made a suggestion of entitlement.

What I did point out is that they're making a mockery out of their premium phone brand by shipping it with crippleware. Check back and see what that decision costs them in a decade.

Google is absurdly bad at product.
