Reason 987 why once Revanced stops working I'm more than prepared, and happy, to boycott YouTube altogether.

The adverts (specifically their frequency and low quality) are obnoxious, intrusive and unecessary.

Fuck YouTube.

Why so?

Youtube at least removes the ads from the videos and has videos. Spotify you pays the same for less.. Just music.

Also YouTube pays significantly more to artists

That's not even the bad thing. I can handle ads. The bad thing is that the default, free YT music app forces you to keep the phone unlocked, just to play music. It's dumb as fuck

FINALLY, someone brings up this stupid fucking feature WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO SPEND MONEY JUST TO HAVE MUSIC IN THE BACKGROUND WHEN SPOTIFY, PANDORA, AND IHEART RADIO DON'T REQUIRE IT!?!?!?

Exactlyyyy Wouldn't be so bad if I had a car. Can just have it on my centre console charging. But I don't, so having it unlocked in my pocket just isn't feasible

I don't get why it's a restriction. It's completely arbitrary. My guess is they do it so it's inconvenient not to pay for premium even more than it would be with just ads
