Who here pays for YouTube?

I post a lot of YouTube links and I realize it's probably really annoying to those of you who don't pay for it. Those commercials show up at the worst moments. It hooked me a few years ago and I figured 12 bucks a month was worth it. It was probably 9 in those days. Anyway, is posting YouTube links annoying? I consider this the best 12 bucks I could possibly spend at any given month. I get unlimited music and real-time news and historical anything I want. It might take a little searching but if I want it I'll find it. Like I said, best 12 bucks I could ever spend. So consider this an ad for YouTube if the commercials annoy you or just tell me to don't do that or tell me you don't care. I'm trying to figure out what's appropriate.

First streaming service I ever paid for. Never looked back, especially when within a few days it suggested I try the Youtube Music app, which I'd not heard of. But Youtube Music inherits my Likes from Youtube and that totally sold me. No training needed! I love YouTube Music. :-) And I'm so glad they've stuck to their original model: you pay, you don't get ads. Ever. Wade.
