      I got a few months of youtube premium free and it's so amazing not to have ads and to be able to listen to music with my phone screen off. The people responsible for the version with ads should be redacted.

        didnt you literally use to be able to listen to a video playing in the background via youtube with the phones' screen off? i swear i used to constantly listen to entire albums of music on a shitty android with the screen off and basically not having to deal with the nightmare that is getting the fucking video skipped/paused/whatever while its floating around my backpack. i fucking HATE this trend of INTRODUCING problems to a service just to charge the end user to remove them. BIGGEST fucking scam of all time i fucking hate it

        i didnt mind ads too much before becoming a communist but now seeing as its obviously all pretty much only driven by infinite fucking growth and profit obsessed :brainworms: havers and not for "legitimate" need for profit to sustain a service i literally cant stand seeing them now

          I've found that on FF on Android, if I boot a song up on yt, then switch tabs so that tab is in the background, then lock my screen, I can play the background tab from the audio menu on the lockscreen

          As with everything android, ymmv
