Facepalm

the non sequitur in the screenshot aside, i personally am satisfied with their premium subscription.

inclusion of family sharing and youtube music is just the icing on the cake. for example, we pay for this instead of spotify's family plan. overall, it hasn't been a decision that i've regretted.

all that said, i get the allure of not wanting to be held hostage by ad-bombardiers. it should not be a pay or get plastered with ads scheme. that decision has played out quite badly.
