  • Iv had a single subscription for like a decade. YouTube red or premium or what the fuck ever it’s called.

    Cost me 7.99 I stream my music from YouTube.

    The moment YouTube stops grandfathering me in is the moment I go right back to just pirating everything. They have threatened to raise the praise for grandfathered plans a few times and never went though with it. They have threatened to add ads, or change features and never went though with it.

    8 dollars is entirely an acceptable price for functionally unlimited music and TV.

    I use the service so I pay for the service. It’s convenient, functional and there are no ads.

    Works on my PC, phone and while I’m in the car with no fiddling.

    If I had to pick a service to use to today I would just go with Bandcamp or pirate the fuck out of everything.

    Seriously what Gabe said decades ago was turn then and now. Piracy is a service problem. A affordable, fair and customer friendly service will be worth paying for. Companies just keep making shit worse then what the value prop is.

    And frankly I would spend like 40 bucks a month on CDs, so 8 bucks is perfectly acceptable. And I don’t personally see any fucking reason to own a copy of my music. That just cost storage space.

    I keep a simple txt file with a list of all the songs and albums I enjoy the most so if I need to I can easily just go get a copy of them when and if I need to. And not waste space on meaningless files that I have on demand access too.
