I tried Brave for maybe 2 days before going back to literally anything else. The heavy push for Crypto made me wary, and it really didn’t seem to be doing anything specific to increase my privacy online.

When Google announced Play Music in 2011, I got in early and my subscription price was locked in at $8 USD a month. They gave me Youtube Premium (and Youtube Music) when that launched as part of that subscription. When Play Music was killed, my Premium membership continued at $8 a month.

At the moment, I’m fine paying this very specific early adopter price since I watch a lot of Youtube content. If they ever raise the price on me, it’s getting dropped.
