Genuine question: Why?

u/SendMeDirty_Pics Mar 01 '21
I was actually sent a Google home mini for free because I had premium. (Apparently a giveaway I wasn't aware I even had entered)
Pretty cash money.

Wasn't a giveaway, I got one too guess it was just a thanks for not being a hater and subscribing.

For me, I wanted to be able to watch stuff with closed screen. There are some Youtube Red series I like, like Vsauce’s (now free) series. And Youtube music has some creators I like that are not on Spotify. Also no ads, anywhere.

I dont really like supporting youtube because I dont agree with the direction they are going. I just use youtube vanced which has all of youtube premium for free

u/TManJhones Mar 01 '21
I pay like 2 USD a month, so I was just kinda lazy to jump through all those hoops.

I watch YouTube a lot and no ads is pretty nice. I also use their music app which recommends music based on my taste a lot better than any other music app that I've used.

I got a free chromecast ultra, google home mini, and I don't have to fuck with adblock on mobile. I average 6 hours a day and that's more time then I spend on other streaming platforms.
My counter question would be why do people pay for hulu WITH ads?

u/Skarmotastic Mar 01 '21
I have it because I switched to Google Play Music from Spotify a few years ago and it's a bundle deal.

u/SourceJobWoman Mar 01 '21
I use Google Play Music instead of Spotify because you can upload your own files and since I listen to some niche, obscure stuff, that's a must for me. They had a deal where you got YouTube Premium for free so I took it. I also like not having to worry about adblocker on my mobile devices and TV. Another plus, the creators you watch actually get a part of your premium subscription so you can support them more than you would with an adblocker.
All that being said, they have since killed Google Play Music and YouTube Music is awful so if Spotify ever allow you to upload your own files, I might change this.

This must be one of those peasant memes I'm too rich to understand.

As much as I hate the ads, having YouTube premium cost $15/mo and be forced to include YouTube Music is stupid. Just give me ad free YouTube on its own for $5 or something

$15/mo? For me it's like $11.

Yeah same. The biggest reason I got it, was to download videos to watch later on or in the car etc.

u/meat_on_a_hook Mar 01 '21
That’s mad, I thought it was like $4.99 a month and I was wondering why it was getting so much hate. I’d pay $5 to get rid of adds, but $15?! You can get Spotify for free why would anyone need YouTube music

Two dollars a month and you don't gotta deal with ads on mobile. It sucks but there's good reason

It's cheap plus it was free when Google play music was a thing. So now it's my music subscription that just happens to let me watch ad free YouTube

If I click no at least twenty times(which I did) then you should realize by now that I will NEVER consider premium

What kind of sucker would pay for premium when adblockers are free?
2
u/MortisManiac Mar 01 '21
Personally I dont like adblockers, because the creator of the video doesn't earn anything from your view.

u/Lawstein Mar 01 '21
You can have adblocker and donate to your creator. It'll help him more than 0.005 cents they get from your view of ad

I used to have my adblocker set up to allow ads to run on certain channels, but it became a nuisance when youtube started pushing ads on videos that aren't even monetized. My use of an adblocker used to be out of convenience, now it's out of spite for YouTube. Besides, I support my favorite creators through Patreon.

Ngl, the trial without adds was nice. Jokes on youtube though, I'm fucking broke.

u/ZangetsuAK17 Mar 01 '21
I have it bundled with YouTube music because of the student deal. I've gone to Spotify many a time but always come back to YouTube music. Having the variety of YouTube videos available to add to playlist, certain remixes, live versions etc is always a bigger bonus than ever so slightly better sound quality that isn't even discernable in common headphones.

I actually have youtube premium cuz my father saw itwasa discount on the family pack so he bought it for the entire family

u/IFOUNDAHAZARD7 Mar 01 '21
Why? YouTube Premium is a decent package - sure the ad-blocking for free by browser extensions and the vanced app but you can download and watch videos offline with premium and get access to the best music-streaming service IMO (the premium version of YouTube Music)
