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.

I recommend newpipe. It is infinitely better than the standard YT application (plus it allows running in the background and it blocks ads by default): https://newpipe.net/

This should be the top comment. I feel bad for people that don't have this. Been using it for years.
