Listen. Premium is worth it. Ads are not going away, and will likely increase. You get YouTube and YouTube Music, so it's arguably two apps in one. What I've been doing, is buying Google Play cards and letting the cost come out of that. Something to consider if you don't want to run up credit card charges. Or change banking info somewhat often. Or lose your cards more than you should.

★☆☆☆☆Dash Blox· Jun 26, 2026
Why did you make it, so the recommended videos appear where the sound is? It's so bad it changes the iconic "If you enjoyed this video, Click on the video above the sound!" Change it to originally Please.
