I think you’re missing out by not using YouTube Red. You can download _any_ video. Lecture. Music. Whatever.

And the app plays in the background on your phone. Working out, whatever, you have any video/music production at your disposal.

You can also use youtube-dl to download videos, and NewPipe to play videos in the background. Both are free tools.

I live on a university campus, with excellent internet (and LTE on my phone). Downloading videos is not something I need at the moment.

The background playback feature is the only thing I would like, but I think it is a really shitty decision to have such a fundamental feature as a paid one, therefore, I won't pay for it.
