    The reason why most of us refuse to pay is because, as Louis Rossmann pointed out in a video, Youtube Premium does not actually let you watch shit offline for more than 3 days or something. Even though you have supposedly downloaded it, it asks you to connect to the internet before you can watch it.

    When you download a video you should require absolutely zero internet to go and rewatch it no matter how long in the future it is. But nah Youtube Premium requires you to turn back on the internet. I wonder why. Maybe, just maybe because even after you pay for the service, you are still the product so Google is not only taking your literal money but is gobbling up all of your data and selling it for even more money, and their download is a scam.

    No thanks, piracy is justified - Louis Rossmann.
