Dang it. YouTube Premium Lite is now worth $8/month

YouTube Premium Lite launched not quite a year ago, offering a considerably cheaper way to get rid of the omnipresent, teeth-grinding advertising that's become an (almost) inescapable part of the platform. At the time I dismissed it since it didn't block the ads on music (or in the dedicated YouTube Music app/interface), it didn't offer downloads, and it didn't offer background listening on your phone.
