The thing is... All the premium features USED TO BE FREE AND AVAILABLE UNTIL THEY LOCKED THEM BEHIND A PAY WALL.

I used to be able to have YouTube playing in the background, reduced ads, etc. All of the features.

Now, I still do because I use Firefox + ublock on mobile. Yeah, I can play this shit with my screen off (Firefox + unlock + desktop mode + turn screen off).

Fuck 'em.
