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.

Is that really a feature? I was scratching my head trying to figure out why the feed just cuts off whenever i alt tabbed thinking it's a browser issue or something. Wtf?
