I've had a cablemodem since about 1999.Wow, you were streaming on Linux in 2002 when the TiVo v2 came out? Most people were still on dialup back then.
I wasn't watching much TV back in 2002.

I was, only paid for TV service for 2 years in my adult life before I had enough. I think I paid $40 for a year of peacock with ads, that’s fine since they don’t put 15+ minutes of ads in a 1 hour show…. Yet. Charge me MORE than that PER MONTH and 25%+ of every show is ads? Absolutely not.Were people this up in arms about ads with commercials on TVs too?
You gotta wonder why we live in a universe that YouTube TV doesn’t automatically include everything the lesser “premium” doesI pay the big dollars for YouTubeTV.
Should I pay for YouTube premie as well?
Asking for a friend.
This is the primary problem but also should go directly to Google/Apple for liability.
Willful ignorance should cost them dearly
As an example any Apple “news story” in the app can direct to a 3rd party site which can slam your device into the App Store.
Worse you can’t use traditional methods to “clear” things loaded in the news app so if a bad file is dumped to your device good luck removing it via traditional means.
Both Apple and google know full well when crap is in their pipeline and they should be liable for it so they actually do something about it before 100,000 users get dumped on.
Basically they want everyone paying for premium, but then they will start offering a tiered system, where the basic premium will start having one or two ads, and you have to pay MORE to get the version without ads. It's all a scam, I see the same basic structure with many software companies and their subscription models.You gotta wonder why we live in a universe that YouTube TV doesn’t automatically include everything the lesser “premium” does
"You have a notification! Watch this 15 seconds ad to veiw notification."Basically they want everyone paying for premium, but then they will start offering a tiered system, where the basic premium will start having one or two ads, and you have to pay MORE to get the version without ads.

First it's free. Next it's free but there are ads. After that you can get rid of the ads but you have to pay. Once everyone utilizes that, the lowest tiers of the system will have ads and you have to "upgrade" to get rid of them. The final stage is you have to pay a bunch of money, and there are ads, but it is the only way you can utilize the "service". All while they are stealing and selling your data.
Ads are a huge turn off for me, I mean how many **** advertisements for stuff do we have to see to do anything these days? Car companies even want to start putting ads onto the "empty screen space" in car instrument clusters. If I start seeing ads pop up on my dash I think I'll just ram right into a pole. LOL

Exactly. Google should throw that in, or at least give you YouTube for $5. That was my point earlier.If your paying $72/month for service that goes above and beyond premium it makes little sense to pay for something you don’t really use (normal YouTube)
Just seems like a kick in the pants on an already overpriced subscription service
That was my complaint. Their answer directly from customer service is that YouTube Music is included with Premium. Ok great. I can't use that through the interface of my Tesla so it is of no use to me. On top of that I already pay for Spotify family because it can be used in that car and also works on every other device I need. I'm sick of subscription costs. I've been cancelling things every time they hit a threshold that I think is too much for what is offered.Exactly. Google should throw that in, or at least give you YouTube for $5.

You want to talk ethics?
And doesn't work for my application. All I wanted was ad free YouTube anyway. If they made an app that would interface with my radio then I would use it.So $14 is too much for world leading music library, that contains hundreds of more rarities than any other music service. If you use your LTE or 5G the fidelity is outstanding. I will gladly pay that for a great music selection and ad free videos A bargain compared to cable and its onslaught of ads on cable. YMMV

Unfortunately everyone is running away from Android Auto and CarPlay. Either way unfortunately Spotify works on everything so I can use it with CarPlay in my VW and with the built in player on the Tesla. Technically it can still be used, but it would be through Bluetooth and won’t have full controls.It works on every other car with Android Auto or Car Play. Reason #11,780 (which is one more than I need) to never own a Tesla.
Hold up…. YouTube music doesn’t work on a Tesla?! IT WORKS ON THIS FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!That was my complaint.

Yes you can use Bluetooth and operate it from the phone screen. That’s not what I said…Hold up…. YouTube music doesn’t work on a Tesla?! IT WORKS ON THIS FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!
