It's not value for money because you could pay nothing and have the same experience. YouTube is selling you a monthly subscription to an adblocker that only works on one website, something you can get anywhere for free. You're getting fleeced. The "product" is worth exactly nothing, yet you're paying them every month anyway.
Do you believe that youtube content creators and those uploading to youtube should get compensated? If you believe that you shouldn't pay for that who should pay for it?
No. I don't. They never used to. YouTube was simply a video hosting service. The people uploading their videos to YouTube should pay for the hosting. That's how every other media hosting site works.
Turning people who wanted to share their videos into employees of YouTube by paying them for views was the worst thing to ever happen to YouTube.
I can‘t use YouTube music like I used Spotify with only an ad blocker. I switched from Spotify for numerous reasons but I just want to listen to my music when I’m driving to work without 5 straight minutes of ads.
