EEVblog&some other YouTube channels, no longer free, at best (HD) quality levels

Presumably, this is (or later will be) for everyone, or just rolled out for me (and other randomly selected test candidates).
This would really annoy me, not being able to select the best/better screen resolutions, for my current setup(s).
£12.99 / Month seems rather pricey/expensive to me.

it is an extra option for those who want to pay for extra bandwidth

premium also gives you no ads and more, I'm not going to waste time watching ads and someone has to pay YT and creators
don't you pay more for a TV license over there?

UK TV licence is optional, if you don't watch live TV. I don't, so I don't pay it. Streaming like Netflix is not included, but services like BBC iPlayer are.

From that point of view, you are right, and I have to agree with you (ignoring the psycological aspects of our brains and feelings).
But from a psychological point of view. NOT being able to select the top quality options, on videos, i.e. HD 1080P (Enhanced). That would be concerning and annoying.

Yes, the British (UK) TV licence, but only by about £0.26 (12 x £13.25 = £159) more per month, based on the £159 current yearly fee, for the BBC TV licence.
But in real terms, if YouTube premium was paid monthly and the TV licence paid yearly, the overall yearly costs, would be about the same.
But not everyone wants to (or even can) pay another bill of £12.99 more, each month.

I realize it's a pain to some, but I've been paying for YT Premium for a long time now. As much time as I spend on YT (far more than on Netflix, Hulu, and the myriad of other streaming services my family subscribes to), enjoying it with no ads on any device or TV while supporting the content providers makes the monthly amount well worth it.
