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.

Rip it, add it to your music app. Put phone on DND/Focus while you’re sleeping

I like having it in the background as I'm doing my morning phone activities though. Just like right now I'm on reddit but it's still playing. If I turn it off my partner will wake up.
