Absolutely. YouTube Premium has been one of my most used streaming service and the one where I've gotten the most value, but no more. I'm not sure if they changed their recommendation algorithm but it insists on pushing Shorts, auto-generated garbage, it doesn't react to any type of input and I'm afraid that the content it pushes is starting to affect my mental well-being.

I've been avoiding YouTube for a few days now and I now considering just cancelling, the ads will keep me away in the future, so in that sense it's nice that they help me not to return.
