You need to fix your recommendations first. Anytime I click on a YouTube video someone sent and I only viewed once or even just for few seconds, the main page is being filled with similar recommended videos. Why? Please stop recommending. I am not interested in it...

    That title of this article made me think YouTube was gonna make 1080p a premium feature 😭

                Files are completely on Huawei cloud, calls, messages and notes synced daily. Music and media by subscriptions and so on so if any moment I lost my phone or it got broken I have zero worries about losing or re-downloading stuff back.

                                    Suschito, 23 Feb 2023They’re slowly putting every feature behind a paywall 😪Servers to take these loads don't come cheap. YouTube is way too generous already, mostly to keep its monopoly intact.

                                      Anybody living in USA please tell me. In my country I can download music easily. Can I download music in USA? Or do I have to pay for VPN? Some say that if you only download for personal use and never upload or sell it there won't be any problem. Is it true? I just want to download ordinary MP3 files. Not torrent or similar things. Thanks.
