But then you have to pay $5 for every funkin service, I use dozens of platforms, that’s going to be $100 a month for all of it. It simply isn’t feasible, and frankly, this is a systemic capitalist issue, and we need to revolt and tear it down.
Do you wanna watch ads instead as a way to pay? > no
Do you wanna use the platform? > yes
Then, find a way to pay for it. People wanting everything for free is the reason for the shitification of the Internet.
And I know it’s popular on the Internet and especially on lemmy to hate on capitalism, but it would be the same under any other system > someone has to pay for it (people working on it, hardware, …) or it won’t exist
Never claimed it is. All I said is wanting everything for free plays a big part in the shitification of the Internet because companies need to find a way to pay their costs or even make money.
What’s worse is that they are folding podcasts into it. Google Podcasts at least had a nice timeline based feed of your podcasts all in one place. YouTube music, to see my podcasts? Open app, tap podcasts, under your shows, click more, then new episodes. And if you finish an episode of whatever your listening to, instead of the next in the sequence, it just starts playing random shit like an animation compilation from a podcast that I don’t listen or subscribe to. YouTube Music is trash. I don’t need another “Everything” app. Just fuck off and let me listen.
I don’t get what you think that “realization” changes. I occasionally watch videos on YouTube and I’d be willing to pay a certain amount to watch to those videos without ads. Since they don’t offer that, I’m not paying them any money. For the record, they did offer such a plan called “YouTube Premium Lite” not that long ago and they axed it.
The realization is that you can’t really remove the music part because you could just use YouTube instead of YouTube Music to listen to the music ad free > yes in theory it would be possible for YouTube to say “everything that is on YouTube Music will have ads on regular YouTube if you get “Premium Lite”” but that would just be more complicated and people would complain even more
I would be fine paying for a YouTube premium account if I could get one for like $3-4 that just removes the ads. I don’t want their music service.

It’s not illegal to control what appears on MY screen.

You do realize that YouTube itself is the streaming service, and “YouTube Music” is just a different frontend for YouTube
Yep. With the 1999 MP3 quality, arbitrary intro tunes, and everything. Such a pity, Play Music was extremely good.

I am pretty sure that yt music doesnt increase the price by 9 Bucks. Lets not push the blame on that.
15 euros is just as much as cable these days fuck that.
13€ for a family plan in Lithuania. Is it gonna increase in near future?
15 in the Netherlands
Family or 1 account?
I’m stating what I would be willing to pay for and how much I’d be willing to pay for it.
