Yeah, I'm with you on this one. I pay for YT premium family, and it's basically the only subscription in 2025 that feels worth it to me. My wife watches YouTube instead of cable TV, so it's already a cheap cable bill. But you also get YouTube music! Which I'll admit is a slightly janky music app since it also kind of sits on top of YouTube videos that it decides are mostly music. But their actual music selection is good if you kinda know how to navigate the UI to the "real" music.

A lot of people will spend $30 at a coffee shop in a week. Maybe $150 in one month.
I think $15 for a whole month of entertainment, tutorials, and useful content and to pay the people who create the videos is worth it.

You also have to account for whatever awful thing Google is likely to do with your $15.

Like giving 55% of it to content creators
Or routing it to support work for countries with profitable contracts, but questionable dedication to human rights.

Or lowering the price at which you can buy an election outcome.
