I'm sure I'll get roasted for this, but just get YouTube Premium. As much content as people tend to consume on YT, I don't know why it's the only platform people seem so against paying for. YTP views are worth more to content creators. There's no ads. And you can get YT music with it too. Honestly, it's just a massive amount of content and nothing even comes close. I know the joke is "who would pay for YT Premium", but, at least in my house, it gets like 10x the use of Netflix and Hulu.
I find it too expnsive 😭 maybe Im just poor hahaj
If you can't afford it, you can't afford it. Streaming services aren't cheap. That being said, if you get a majority of your daily entertainment from something, like a lot of people seem to with YT, then I think it's worth the money. Like, it's easy to think of YT and Google as these evil corporations, and they totally are, but at the same time, hosting video at the scale that YT does isn't a charity, you know?
totally!
