I've been reading reviews of LeetCode Premium on reddit and other places (just one example: https://www.yoreoyster.com/review/leetcode/ ), plus watching a few YouTube video reviews, but I still can't decide whether to invest in LC Premium or not. It seems like LC questions are becoming less relevant
