> I still have Premium because ad-free is great!

Use an alternative ad-free client if you don't wanna pay for a not working download feature.

Or just support the platform/creators because it's a small amount...

1) doesn't work without an account 2) I dont give google my payment details 3) the platform does not deserve any % of my donations, it's used used because it's a monopoly 4) not every creator I watch deserves the same cut, smaller high quality creators need more -> off site donations e.g. Patreon is way better in many ways.

I did when they stopped displaying public dislike counts. Very smooth experience, did not even ask me why I was leaving. YouTube doesn't seem to care much.

When I moved to another country where Youtube Red/Premium wasnt available, when I eventually contacted Youtube support they refunded the past 6 months of the subscription.
