Well, I guess I bought the yearly sub in Turkish liras just in time (about $20/year)
I’d rather have a cheaper version premium just for Youtube without ads though. I’ve heard there is or was Premium Lite in some countries, but not where I’m from. I don’t need Music, I already pay Tidal for that.
Or is YT Music with Premium so much better than the free one? When I cancelled my Spotify and were looking where to move to, I gave the free YTM a try. It would be two birds with one stone - YT without ads and a replacement music streaming service. But I just hated the whole experience. The UI, that my music “follows” get mixed with YouTube subscriptions, and that it always plays a video with every song.
What’s that? I couldn’t hear you over revance
Jokes on them I use Brave and Revenced
I wonder why would someone raise the price of product no one buys
They want people to start using YT Premium while slowly blocking ad-blockers, but they increase the subscription price… what?
People actually pay money to watch YouTube? I thought that was some kind of elaborate practical joke
F*ck no. I was finally seriously considering buying YT premium for Google not f**king anything up in the past few months, bringing back sort by oldest, and knowing I’m not part of the anti AdBlock trial to make their anti AdBlock efforts less effective.
I really wish they’d decouple it from YouTube Music. I don’t use it and if just Premium was about $10 or so I’d at least consider it.

I’ve also noticed now that the video quality option on some accounts requires YT Premium to watch in 1080 60
Is this their first or second price hike? I’ve had it since it was Red - I’ll probably just hang in since there isn’t a great alternative.
It increased a couple months ago to like $25 CAD lmao. Still worth it, though. I watch so much YouTube.
It’s weird how people are fine paying for Netflix, Hulu, CrunchyRoll, Twitch, etc, but draw the line at YouTube, the platform that has infinite more content and actual value.
It’s still less than my parents pay for satellite. Also comes with YouTube Music if you wanna ditch Spotify. Kinda a 2 in 1 deal.
Revanced still costs $0/month.
I was grandfathered into their oldest pricing model back when Google Play Music was at its peak, and now they’re hiking my price too. I’ll be glad to see the subscription go and use revanced, but I need a better music streaming platform that’s 10 dollars or less
