Tbh just normal YouTube + Premium is great and feels reasonable value to me.

TickTick is a better reminders app than anything FOSS ive tried

    Yt premium/music is a decent deal and no hassle. I feel like a leper saying that sometimes.

    Luckily, I ended up signing up for Google Play Music the day it was released for $7.99/mo and that price has been grandfathered in to every change and price hike they've done. So now I get YouTube Music and YouTube Premium for the same price 12 years later. I don't think I'll ever switch music providers or stop watching YouTube if I get to keep the current price.

    I don't remember the last time I saw an ad on YouTube.

    I never understood this, the only benefit you'd get is getting access to higher quality audio from Youtube Music.

    Newpipe, Piped, Invidious, yt-dlp + mpv + rss feed reader are all libre.

    Unless you use youtube for its recommendations algorithim, which in that case yeah, nothing to say there.
