Makes sense. Never pay through Apple if there's any other option. Can't fault Google for that.

But even then, $16 per month for Youtube!? An adblocker is cheaper.

Yeah, it's... interesting. Especially with donations.
Apple takes a 30% cut, then Google does so as well from the remainder.

Feeling generous? Congrats, more than a half goes to corporations.

Why doesn't Google just pay it and absorb the cost like shippers do with tariffs?
