      I pay for YouTube because I hate ads and I use the music service heavily… I also pay (A LOT) for a MotoGP subscription, but that’s sports, and unless I’m awake when there’s a race being pirate streamed I’d be sol.

      For everything else, i sail the salty seas

        I usually watch YouTube through a laptop that blocks ads.

        The YouTube ads are still annoying on my phone, etc., but not nearly as bad as Spotify (unusable).

          You can use the spotify website, then your adblocker takes care of the ads, you can shuffle songs how you want and play certain songs as you like, without paying for their shit.

          Android? If so, install PersonalDNSFilter. Haven’t seen a youtube ad in I really have no idea how long.

        I’ve considered it a few times but they are raising the price so quickly year after year that it will be untenable in a couple of years anyway.
