minus-squareartyom@piefed.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·11 days agoHonestly I would probably pay for it and be happy but Premium doesn’t solve many of the problems that still exist: being shown the same content over and over Dislikes hidden in-video ads Shorts absolutely crammed down your throat everywhere broken search results AI-generated slop absolutely everywhere crypto spam Google-connected account using view history to spy on you etc. etc. All problems Google could solve easily but simply won’t.
