So I have a question for YouTube Premium haters:

How is this any different than what most people pay for both another music service and another video service? It's about half the cost of other music + video services (when combined), even with the increased pricing over the years. I've been paying for YouTube Premium since the awkward Google Play Music transition and it's a bargain, especially when I had my student discount at like $4.99 a month.

If only we had invented a device that could scroll the web page... Some kind of wheel maybe? It could even go directly on the mouse.

Guess we'll just have to suffer until then.

The gotcha for this is that you have to actually use the resources on your free instance or they will reclaim it. I use my instance as a Minecraft server so it utilizes about half of the 24GB RAM you get. For a very light compute task like a chat bot, it might be difficult to keep the instance from being reclaimed.

From this page:

Idle Always Free compute instances may be reclaimed by Oracle. Oracle will deem virtual machine and bare metal compute instances as idle if, during a 7-day period, the following are true:

CPU utilization for the 95th percentile is less than 15% Network utilization is less than 15% Memory utilization is less than 15% (applies to A1 shapes only)

Pretty rich coming from the guys who overly moderate players' private Minecraft servers up to and including banning players for saying a no-no word...

Note that these are just quotes from the disastrous AMA he held last week, not new comments that have been made.
