Popular opinion: Youtube premium is laughably overpriced (in the UK anyway) due to bundling with the totally unrelated youtube music service.

The premium cost of 11.99 GBP per month gets you: * No ads. * Additional music service I don't want. * No additional made-for-youtube video content that I'm aware of. * The app removes one user-hostile non-feature: it no longer refuses to play audio while in the background (iOS). * The app gains no new features, The iOS system wide Picture-in-picture that every other video service supports is still blocked, including from the Safari browser.

Considering that I get the only features I want in desktop Firefox for free, it's incredibly poor value and badly marketed. They could get perhaps 2 GBP a month for no ads, but their other user hostile behaviour on iOS and that price makes it a joke.

The ads are so intrusive, frequent and low quality that I just stopped using youtube on iOS completely. Good job.

I set Insight [0] browser as the default browser on my iPhone and iPad just so that I can click links to YouTube that I get sent without having to watch some of the worst advertising ever produced. I still actually _use_ Safari as my main browser though.
