I stopped paying when they started to openly support Israel. I’m fine with paying a service to maintain itself and Youtube is storing a LOT of high quality video, but giving away millions worth of support to a genocidal state is not something a streaming service’s operating costs should include sooooo fuck ‘em. Ads suck, but I can live with them.
I was fully onboard with everything you said until this. It pretty much defeats the point of a boycott to continue using the service in a way that makes them profit.
