I've never seen a company SO devoted to get me to not use their service. $2-$3 a month is worth not seeing ads in my mind. They've made their website SO user hostile and their prices are just too damned high to justify paying them - I can just go without.

If I could get Youtube Premium for $2-3, I'd probably pay. I don't use it enough to justify spending $10 or whatever it is these days, so I block ads. If that stops working, I'll stop watching Youtube.

I would even pay the 11,99€, in fact I did in the past. Youtube's algorithms made me stop.

Spotify for example caters to my preferences. It took a bit to train it, but the weekly selection is spot on with lots of a variety, and they don't try to shove pop music or other mainstream stuff into my face.

YouTube tries to suckme into a shit hole of craziness at every turn. It tries to make people dumber.

How did you manage to make Spotify not a steaming pile of garbage?

It was hard work, but a general rule is to like only songs that you could listen every day to, make playlists for everything else.

That’s definitely what I’ve done, but it recommends country daily despite my immense hatred for it.

Its funny how we cant use VPNs but companies will go to the country with the lowest wages to get workers.

Companies are free to use labor from anywhere, but make sure we can't get their products from anywhere.

I mean no one is stopping you from moving to another country.

Oooo, lies

The only thing VPN's are good for anymore is hiding torrents. That's it.

Somebody should invent a way to use them for serious things, like connecting to your company’s intranet or something

Nah, my company doesn't allow torrenting movies so a corporate VPN is useless

suction ,

Couldn’t you secretly hook up with the boss’s wife and give her the most intense orgasm of her life, so she’ll do anything for you, and you use her to ask her husband he should allow torrenting or else she will get a divorce, so he’ll allow torrenting and then the VPN would become useful?

Solid 1980s movie strategy

Also good for getting to pornhub.com if you live in one of the states they’ve blocked.

Use Smarttube instead on android tv and stbs Smarttube

For android phones, tablets: Tubular

In browser ublock blocks youtube ads, also invidious instances.

They did not get me yet 🥳 (I don‘t Know why)

Makes sense and probably all companies that do regional pricing have a rule for this, Steam explicitly states to not do this as well

You agree that you will not use IP proxying or other methods to disguise the place of your residence, whether to circumvent geographical restrictions on game content, to order or purchase at pricing not applicable to your geography, or for any other purpose. If you do this, Valve may terminate your access to your Account.

Thinking how this affects the people living in those countries is the best solution
