I am one of those suckers (:sigh) who paid for Youtube since it bundled Youtube Music with it. However, today I used the latter's Revanced version and it was so much customizable. Right from removing menu items to the stupid cast button Google has forced on us; it seems a billion dollar company can't compete with these folks who make their apps so much more serviceable.

I don't wish to go too much into the official Youtube client which too is tacked with things like Remix button and what not.

It at it's worst in my opinion with streaming services like Netflix and Hulu. They're all starting to get so fragmented that they're not much better than just paying for cable anymore, and that was their whole appeal to begin with. Now you have to sub to like 3 or 4 different services to get all the content you want (sometimes more) and they all seem to be phasing out their ad free tiers. It's like they forgot what made them so popular to begin with.
