    For fucks sake google, give us an option JUST for YOUTUBE AD FREE…I would pay!

    Not for YouTube music though. I don’t want that bundled shit

      Uh, youtube premium is ad free…

      Im one of these legacy users from google music, and youtube hasnt shown me an ad in nearly a decade…

      Obviously other than the baked in ad reads by the youtubers themselves

          You know they aren’t forcing you to use the bundled stuff, right?

            But that affects the price being higher. If they just had a plan with ad free it would hopefully be cheaper than current premium (since no music streaming)

            But they shill it as benefit when many people have no benefit from the bundled shit they are being upsold on

      The idea is that the music is on YouTube anyway. Either access the music on YouTube or use the Music app to access. What you would need to ask for is a YouTube subscription without any music access.
