    As a premium subscriber, it’s definitely gotten worse for me over the last month. Whatever they’re doing on the back end, it’s pretty terrible.

      I’m not sure what the hell is going on at YouTube but I’ve noticed a significant drop in decent videos being recommended, and a huge uptick in videos I’ve already seen showing up at the front of the feed. Probs gonna drop it when the price picks up and just go to nebula.

        Honestly: I’d rather pay for YT and pirate Netflix.
        The amount of Entertainment I get from YT exceeds the scale of Netflix and I use it daily at 2-3h per day.

        And while yes, it’s free, I can also support the creators with a better click price than a regular click.
        Is it a better solution then the respective patreon/whatever? Nope
        Do I want to pay 5€/month or video each time? Fuck no. I am not king Midas.

          Yup, that’s how I see it too. I don’t like seeing ads, the creators do at least get more money, and the actual value I get out of YouTube is pretty high
