Kill Google with a molotov, they don’t deserve your money
Last guy who tried that got arrested. Plan accordingly.
Freetube still free tho
While the $4 increase on my family plan gives a bit of “oof”, between YT Music use and just watching videos daily, it’s still worth what I’ll be paying. And yes, yes, I know I should degoogle more completely, but with a house full of teens, that just isn’t an option right now.
Revanced (or possible Morphe, which I’ve just learnt may have supplanted Revanced) gets you all the benefits of both YouTube Premium and YouTube Music completely free. Plus it gives you Return YouTube Dislikes and Sponsor Block along with blocking the base YouTube ads.
On your Windows, Mac, and Linux PCs, you should also have an ad blocker and the Sponsor Block extension. I’d also recommend an extension to at a bare minimum redirect YouTube Shorts to the regular player (which Revanced also can do), or possibly block them entirely.
