YouTube wants you to pay for rubbish quality uploads by their users. You want to listen to an album and put on the playlist, track 3 was a single so you get a mono recording of the rock video complete with theatrical dialog that makes no sense to listen to when you want to listen and not watch. Is that playlist actually the list for the album? Maybe not but even if it is, how many tracks are missing because of copyright claims or similar?

YouTube does nothing but rely on the crowd for quality and it’s rubbish.

But sure, I’m sympathetic when they ask me to pay for “premium” - I’m sure it’s a premium rate.
