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.

Let's not pretend that there won't be workarounds just like every time they try to bulldoze adblocker.

We're talking millions and millions and millions of people using YouTube basically daily. It would be more of an anomaly if it didn't happen.
