I've got €6/m ad free but without premium features. YT tries to make me upgrade but this is enough for me. I wouldn't pay €12/m but I'd rather go looking for adblockers and third party apps should it come to it.

They introduced that tier a year ago, right?

I remember looking into it at the time and deciding against downgrading. I'm not entirely sure why.
I think it was because of the lack of background playback in the mobile app? 🤔

(Bit expensive for such a tiny feature, but I digress..)

Something like that, yeah. It was introduced conveniently after the YouTube Vanced crackdown.
