Youtube premium has no ads btw. It's really great for podcasts or music so you can just listen in the background without the app open.

You can do the same thing with a device called a computer. You can also do that on Android with Newpipe and could do that with Vanced before Google used (likely specious) legal threats to destroy it.

There's no good reason whatsoever to pay the Danegeld[0] to Google for their "premium" subscription that sells you the right to use basic functionality that Google arbitrarily and maliciously attempts to block.

I have no issues paying for it given how much value I get out of it especially having no ads on their iOS app.
