ursakhiin , 5 months ago "Racketeering" is definitely the wrong word. I'll put it like this. I think YouTube Premium is too expensive. I also think YouTube is too aggressive with it's ads. I opt to send them that message by using an ad blocking service tailored to YouTube and paying the content creators in other ways. If the family plan weren't 20 dollars a month to cover 2 accounts I would probably buy it. But they opted to offer only 1 or many never just 2. I'm capable of affording it. I pay nearly every major streaming service monthly even when I am not using them, so long as their cost is reasonable. YouTube Premium's cost is not reasonable. Especially when you consider they are still collecting and making money off of your data in the end.
