The problem with YouTube Premium is unnecessary and anticompetitive bundling.
They ask €11.99/month for Premium (no ads) + YouTube Music.
Or €9.99/month just for YouTube Music.
Given that I already pay for another service, I don't want either of these plans.
It's not possible to get only YouTube Premium (avoid ads), even if the marginal cost of ad-free YouTube experience is only €2/month, according to Google. I think €24/year is a very reasonable price to pay for YouTube, €144 is not.
