YouTube ‘Premium Lite’ is for those that already have a music subscription

I'm holding out for Premium Lite Pro.
Now with ads!
Nah, you better wait. I've heard that Youtube 2 is almost out.
I think that's called grayjay.
So a way to remove ads at the cost of $ and better tracking. Instead, I'll stick with piped, greyjay, ublock, etc and make it harder to track me and save the $.
Fuck Google.
I have no problem paying, just let me use my app of choice, without ads, and don't track me. If YouTube did that, I'd be a paying customer instead of a leech. I pay for Nebula and watch on Grayjay, so I do put my money where my mouth is.
Still doesn't allow background playback though, so it's useless to me
And that’s why I sideload a modified YouTube that includes ad blockers, sponsor segment skipping and background playback, among other things.
I won't pay for YouTube almost solely because Revanced is such a better experience than YT could be. They cannot bundle in Sponsor block without an outrage.
I don't disagree, but Premium does let you skip over frequently skipped sections.
Oh I didn't know that. That admittedly changes things somewhat. Google still makes enough money from me though.
Try Grayjay. It supports background playback.

I've always wondered why Google doesn't include a YouTube subscription with YouTube TV. They charge enough for it already...
Because why make less money when you can make more money
Because you haven't approached the situation with the mindset of a careless greedy fuck.
Why would the actively make search worse to try and drive engagement time?
Is that like PipePipe for idiots?
I feel the battle will get harder for extractor like NewPipe. I really hope NewPipe will always work despite Google constantly changing their YouTube code.
Didn't they already have this before but removed it? At least in my country a "lite"-variant was available but they removed it like last year.
They've needed this for a long time.
That’s quite the oxymoron
