    To me that is the problem and why I’ll probably cancel with this price hike. I don’t want more. I got YT Premium for YouTube, mostly to support creators, cause fuck watching Ads. But I have to pay for Music, Podcasts and whatever other garbage they try to stuff in there. It was the same with Prime. I don’t want to watch your stupid series, I just want free shipping, twitch prime and occasionally an old movie.

    Sorry for the rant but these stupid subscription “bundles” are so annoying. The whole ecosystem is becoming shittier every year.

      I had heard before that YouTube premium subscriptions don’t support creators, but a quick internet search says it does.

        Yeah. I’ve heard a few creators say they get much more money from a Premium user.

      They are all doing these offensive bundles of crap. It is worse than the days of Cable.

      We are subscribed to Apple One Family Premier. I need the large data for my family to backup their devices, but none of us want Fitness+ or News+. It is cheaper to get this extra crap we don’t want, than to just get Data.

      I just need a way to disable Fitness+ without disabling the Workout features. This is the same as disabling Shorts, Music and Games in YouTube.
