These moves are just making me use YouTube less and less. Offer Premium at a fare price and I pay for it.

Huh, for some reason i get no adds even without premium. Wink wink, ublock. Wink wink revanced.

Pay to see the same content i can see for free and getting rid of adds its such a great deal
Im sure they wont increase the anmount of adds for free users right after they remove Ublock from Chrome…
Seems like im gonna keep using Ublock origin and firefox

I’m more likely to pay for Adblock than for YouTube premium.

I donated that subscription money to the Adblock developers instead so I am tapped out atm.
My bad.

VPN Argentina, they’d better not be putting the price up for us sweet Argentinians

Good. It should get massively more expensive and littered with ads so there can be more alternatives on the market. I will continue paying for my Adblocker instead of ever getting YouTube Premium.

I find it interesting, that Google are nearly valuing the YT product at the same price point as just gaining access to the internet via ISP in some locations.

I got called entitled for saying I don’t see the upside of premium vs the cost. For more than a couple streamers put together I just don’t see ad free being worth it and returning some features they took away from the free users a few years ago. I’m not going to reward them for that. Some people say well YouTube music! And I honestly didn’t even know that was still going as Google has killed off like 4 music players before.Â

So are they just going to keep increasing prices above inflation forever?
What’s the end game here?

I was happy with the cheaper Premium Lite option that offered no ads, but they discontinued it and now want me to pay like $21 a month. And that’s not even the family plan, just the individual one. I cancelled on the spot. And *I get* it Reddit, AdBlock exists, but I use YouTube on much more than just my desktop—preferably on my PS5, Google TV, and Chromecast.

I had premium for a while but Revanced is simply better. I’m trying to do something about my short attention span, so I purposefully don’t watch shorts anymore. Revanced allows me to remove shorts entirely, from the menu and the feed. It’s fantastic. And it’s also ridiculous that a free app gives me more custom options than the official paid subscription.

And…. Just when I was considering, perhaps, actually forking out for it, they come along with their greed and goodbye goes my good intentions!

About $2 per month here in India and it’s cheap as F. Works just fine when traveling in Europe or stateside. But yeah not liking the trend of the price increases.

€6/month increase in Ireland on family plan… In my case this might end up as €18.99/month of savings instead.
