But they offer an ad free plan that isn't expensive, and the service is really fast and reliable, and comes with YouTube music as well. Why pay for streaming sites that still give you ads like amazon or peacock, but won't pay for YouTube?

I just dont trust them not to use the payment and account info to track me more for every other ad they serve.

They get nothing.

I don't pay for streaming sites. 🏴‍☠️ And I definitely won't give YouTube any money. I've always been able to browse their videos without paying a cent. I'm not about to start now.

Besides, I don't like how everything has become subscription services nowadays. You used to be able to pay once and own a product. Now you need to pay monthly to have temporary access to a constantly changing library. No thanks, I'll only spend money on things I can own forever.
