Advertising spend has dried up and the shareholders are looking for growth. I don’t mind paying for YouTube Premium but I get it much cheaper than that because I connect via VPN when I pay for it. I use Romania but other people recommend Turkey or Argentina or any of the other countries that are having issues with their currencies.

It’s something like 10% different, let’s not get too excited here

I can understand subscriptions not transferring over but Lifetime should, it’s definitely a different type of thing. Changing ~10% of the codebase to use a different API isn’t exactly a new app either

Edit: The new lifetime subscription is $115! WTF? Been using the app for 10 years and have always paid, this is a pure cash grab, what a joke.

Yarr, tis off to Mobilism I go for the cracked version. Smell ya later, LBJ or whatever your name is

I got Ultra Lifetime when it launched 13 months ago, $35 as I recall. People who didn’t go the “supportive” route paid $19 for that year. This rubs me up the wrong way even though I don’t care about the money, it’s not actual adversity or anything. Just doesn’t sit well. Also paid the previous prices when the app launched many years ago

I got the lifetime Ultra option for Reddit. I know this is a whole different thing but does it transfer? Seems like it was introduced about a year ago, maybe two? I’m planning on living longer than that and I don’t want to end up thinking my energies were misplaced
