> It gives me the moral and logical high ground when arguing with nerds about YouTube online

The thing with paying for YouTube is that you’re giving Google money for them to get more data on you. Logically that seems like a bad deal. I get that you probably don’t mind it, but other people rightfully do.

> Can download video on most (all?) devices

Is that download as in “they are available offline in the app” or as in “you get an MP4 that you can watch in your preferred player”?
