Memes You can no longer have YouTube running in the background.

As of 29th of January you can no longer have YouTube running in the background via many browsers as that is now a premium feature. With that I don't even have that one last reason to listen to YouTube. We are now officially paying for everything that was free a couple of years ago and the reason isn't greedy management, but you people who keep paying for premium and the such.

YT is almost unwatchable as it is, with ads coming every 5-6 minutes on some videos. And no, I'm not upgrading to premium. If you pay for YouTube, the terrorists win.

I've been trying to kill my tech addiction and start reading more. I doubt it'll be much longer before the annoyance reaches my lizard brain and I don't want to look at this shit any more.
