Well... That seems uselessly risky and complex when you can just ask them to not do that. The issue tracker said the Youtube folks have been informed. Let’s just see if they fix that rather quickly. (but they are certainly not the only one with that kind of stuff. I’m not a big fan UA discrimination. I mean, this kind of stuff is what webcompat is all about.) (except for some purpose where you truly care about the architecture, like selecting a download link for an installer) (on the other side, I’m totally fine with feature-flags based discrimination, but that need to be done client-side).
Out of curiosity, what would you consider "real" premium YouTube to be? Are you thinking something where the creators get a higher share of the revenue in return for better production values?
I wanted to get premium and while i was considering it they had 2 price increases.
No thank you, bye.
I am of the mindset: i want value out of my money, subscriptions that let you own nothing immediately falls out of my requirements so i need it to be a price i'm willing to pay. Which is a low price.
I cancelled spotify the moment they added €1 to the cost, all it gave me was a play button and a bunch of bullshit i don't care for like a year in review. Dude, i was there...listening to that music, i already know what i played so i don't need you to tell me.
But that's just me and i'm the odd one out it seems.
I compare spotify like this; i bought a cd from the discount bin for €5 and got to play that for a whole life and i'd be happy if it was all i had. Spotify opens up do much music to you which is really cool BUT i used to buy a single album a year and copy that to a new cd/mp3 player to add it to the previous boughr cd's. So my cost went from €5/€20 a year to €11 a month while i own nothing. In my head that's automatically a waste of €112 euro's that are spent with no real returning value.
The biggest value most subscription services offer is: they'll stop literally pestering you with ads.
