After what two years? YouTube finally changing YT Red to YT Premium. Like dudes it was a bad name from the start.

@kobold YouTube: "we're dropping the Tube, now it's just you!" *points to random guy in the audience*

@fillertrack @kobold Tall, thin men in Google turtlenecks take the audience member by the arms.

"What are you--" he asks, and then one of the turtlenecked men places a Google-branded button on his temple. His jaw goes slack and his eyes glaze over.

"YouTube Premium," the now-disembodied announcer says. "For you. By you. IN you."

More turtlenecked men appear at the exits. The audience has nowhere to go.

The screaming is surprisingly brief. Google has become very efficient these days.

@noelle @fillertrack people are staring in the bathroom from my laughter thanks
