I paid for YouTube premium for a long time (and vocally advocated for others to do the same here on HN). Google enshittified the subscription so badly... increasing the cost significantly while adding unrelated services (like Google Music) and a dozen other things over the past... decade?
The last straw was the most recent price increase for no benefit other than more revenue for Google. I unsubscribed, and mostly stay away from YouTube now. The value isn't worth the cost, whether its paid using with my attention or my dollars.
