YouTube Premium isn’t worth paying full price for – but I found something that is

My policy with cloud services is that if I can get away with a free version, I’ll almost always choose that, even when my budget allows for more. I might lose out on the nicest possible experience — but I know that if I’m not careful, subscriptions can lead to death by a thousand cuts. So many companies are eager to reap steady income that I could easily lose hundreds of dollars, money that I need to pay for such radical concepts as housing or transportation.
