Unfortunately, the time has come for me to leave Lemmy. Time will show where we all end up. I’ll see you in the future… maybe sooner than you think?

Edit: Follow up post is here. Don’t worry. You’re not getting rid of me that easy. I’m just switching to piefed.world

    I’d be more than willing to throw them a couple of euros each month. But paying like 14 per month for something I get for free now is just too much.

      That’s been my feeling all along. $5-10 per month I can justify, but I really can’t justify $23/mo to cover both my and my wife’s accounts, especially given that they reportedly still sometimes show ads to premium subscribers. And honestly when they were getting really pushy about subscribing a year or two ago I refused because I don’t give in to pushiness like that by tech companies

        I’ve been on YouTube Premium since it was YouTube Red, and I’ve never seen an ad when I’m logged in.

        I justify it because YouTube Music is included, so I can get music streaming without paying for a similar service from Spotify or Apple or Amazon or whomever, and also get ad-free YouTube on all my devices and whatnot.
