      it’s improved for me, as someone who easily watches 20ish hours of video a week It’s worth it for me to not have to deal with all the hassle of ad block on it. I run a pihole for everything else but the cat and mouse game got old. I currently get my money’s worth, but if it raises much further I’ll cancel.

        Not “if” but “when”. They have you and million others on the hook and already plan their next step to extract more money from you.

          yea and when that happens I just cancel, then I can worry about all the ad blocking and stuff, but currently it’s worth it for me
