It sucks that the model of pay once ($60) or subscription doesn’t gel with the in-app purchase or advertising models.

For example YouTube premium is a worse product than it could be because the entire platform has been designed with advertising and engagement in mind.




YT Premium is not the product it could be because it only needs to be better than what it is replacing, or normal YT.

Say this as someone who just subscribed this month.
