    I considered paying for it but the cost vs benefit just wasnt there.

    To prevent a few ads playing vs blocking those ads anyway for free.

    yeah nah.

      The number of videos I watch on YouTube amounts to maybe 3 hours a week.

      At best.

      On average maybe 20-30 minutes.

      I’m not willing to pay $13 $9 a month for that.

        YouTube is probably 90% of our streaming consumption.

        Combine that with the music streaming, background play, video downloading, and ability to access it on hotel smart TVs.

        Plus it supports the creators I like.

        Really makes YTP a no-brainer for us.

          You can get background play via using FireFox, video downloading with extensions or other programs, and play anything on hotel TVs with a video cable from a laptop or any other device. All without paying the great beast.

            I’m not going to implement multiple workarounds on our android and apple phones and plug a laptop into a tv every time I want to watch YouTube on it. YTP is well worth my few dollars a month.

              lol have fun paying megacorps into perpetuity over five minutes of effort… your attitude is exactly why mega corps get to shit on everyone and get away with it.

                It’s not air, my dude. You or I could just choose to live without YouTube instead of feeling like we’re entitled to it for free. My money goes directly to the creators, to each and every one of them, when I watch their videos. Are you subscribing to all your creators’ patreons or making one-time donations each time you watch their videos?

                A luxury product exists for a certain cost, that cost is negligible to me, I pay it and enjoy the product.
