That's some serious mental gymnastics there, too. I refuse to pay for YT premium because of the abusive relationship Alphabet/Google/YouTube has with my family, my devices, and me.
Bless the musicians, every one.

12 bucks is about two or three days of work where I live. I will do everything that is in my hands that won't get me arrested to save money and improve my quality of life. Google does the same, so why shouldn't I?
Look up how much YouTube and Spotify pay musicians. I'm not sure how little the others pay in comparison but I assume their cut is the industry standard.
Paying £12 a month doesn't bring back dislikes, doesn't remove sponsored segments and doesn't improve the comment section that is ripe with bots.

I wouldn't make my own companies DRM so easily breakable, are Google too poor or something?
Don't worry, pirates have gone through these mental gymnastics to feel better about their entitlement since the time Napster appeared.
Still doesn't change the fact that the author of that post refuses to pay a shitty 12 bucks per months to get access to all the music he wants and pay both the infrastructure provider and the musician performing the tracks. They could easily pay for Spotify, Deezer, Tidal, iTunes or any of the other services if "YouTube is such an evil monster monopoly". But it's not about that is it?
