Oof I think this service is only worth it if you have a family plan and everyone helping. That is how I personally make it reasonable in terms of pricing.

Yeah, my take was “the good I get out of YouTube is worth that, so if I’m in a situation where I need to pay that, I’d pay it”.
For me what I don’t like is that I haven’t seen anything about Google not using it to profile me. If I get an account with Google, pay them, then they have not just the usage data, but it linked to financial data, which makes it a lot easier for them to build a profile. And that I don’t want.
Google provides some good services, and they are services that I’d be willing to pay for, but I don’t want to be paying the bill and having Google building a profile on me. Maybe some people don’t care about that, but I do.
Hell, even if Google were to say “we won’t profile you”, I’d have no way of knowing that they wouldn’t change their policy in the future.
Any video service builds a profile of you based on viewing habits.
I have never subscribed to any video service where the service provider knows what I’m watching and has my financial data. The last service I got was (traditional, no provider-provided box) cable video service, about fifteen years back. All the provider knows there is that I got the basic cable package.
The closest I ever came was being in the random sample for a Nielson Ratings poll, which I did not respond to (and in any event, I am sure that they do not profile individuals, because their sample is too small to make doing so worthwhile).
