      I will just stop using youtube (unless necessary and I deal with the ads the 2x monthly I use it for “how to replace radiator 2002 camry” or similar) before I pay them.

        I’m on someone else’s Google One, so I get it for free. For now, that means I can run yt-dlp on those pesky premium-only videos, which is nice.

      Well well well… We have a Google fanboy here.

      While you at it, route all your traffic though Google’s new and shiny proxy, for that extra privacy peace of mind. /s

      This is (sadly) the way. Use a VPN to get a better deal in another country as well for extra bang for the buck
