Youtube premium really only makes sense if you’re going to use youtube music as well, in which case its a decent value. At least here in the states, spotify is $11/month whereas youtube premium is $14/month.
Oh I’d much rather it be piecemeal with the option of bundling it, don’t get me wrong. It’s just a bit misleading to try to frame it as only ad free youtube
When it comes to these forced bundles if the added service isn’t something I’d pay I just price it at what they are asking for, since whether it includes extra doesn’t matter when there isn’t a choice to separate it. It’s just an approach I’ve taken due to services like PS+ paywalling multiplayer while I didn’t care about the “free games”.
Better to donate that $11 or $14 / mo to uBlock Origin - that way you’re paying people who are actually providing a service to you. With YouTube (Google) you’re not the consumer, you’re the product.
I have absolutely no interest in music streaming services. I discover the music on Youtube, yes, but if I like the band enough I buy the download. Specially since my music tastes are non mainstream.

I have hated the trend of companies bundling services to charge more instead of separating it.

even better deal if you’re still grandfathered into the $9.99/mo tier like I am. I know they said they would increase those prices… but so far not
