• Yes, started when my youngest would get mad at the ads 😂 our cable company also recently abandoned us so we’re on YouTube tv as of 3 weeks ago. Saving just over $1000/yr and it has all the same channels we watched on cable. I also drive a lot and use YouTube music which is very good at suggesting songs I like. Kind of funny paying for premium to get rid of ads that I also make money from 😂

• And I dropped Spotify which I had paid for years Nick as YouTube Music (which is included in YT premium) is better IMO. So that was a saving.
  Also dropped Amazon as we just didn't use it.
  Netflix we share with eldest son who lives close.....they haven't gotten on to that yet!
  We watch so much YT on TV, its got everything.

• We are paying for YouTube TV but not for YouTube Premium.
  
  Can I get Fox and Fox Business live tv on YT Premium.?
  
  If so I could get premium and save quite a bit letting YT TV go.

  I just got an email from Amazon that I earned $212 in Amazon points in the past year (more than a membership) guess I buy too much junk online 😂

• NO.  As a 90's child its a great chance to stretch my legs, hit the fridge, or tap a kidney, I know I have extra long time if a St Jude or ASPCA commercial starts up.  I refuse to be part of the pay for services cog.  I do pay for a music service LiveOne (formerly Slacker) its $36 per year. (play stations not specific songs and unlimited skips)  Otherwise no subscriptions.  I think music ad free is good for the soul or I play my records.
  
    Amazon and Netflix were the first to get cancled.   Amazon only resells cheap crap from China for the most part or if I find a seller thru them I go to the sellers site and tylically the item is cheaper and free shipping and 10% off if you sign up on the email list.  It helps me support the small business instead of Amazon.
  
  As for netflix I can focus my time better than binge watching trivial productions.
  
  All those 12 dollar services really add up.
