    Is this a mistake?

    There was already a post a few days ago about YouTube going wild with their prices for premium subscription. But I thought it was supposed be 33.90 CHF instead of 23.90. Not 43.90. Wtf?
    I canceled my subscription yesterday, after being onboard with premium from the beginning.

      43.90 CHF is crazy. I’ve received the mail with the new 33.90 rate, and have cancelled my subscription yesterday. I don’t accept a 40% price increase.

      If you subscribe through browser you pay 19fr just so you know, and I mean browser on your phone

      Funny, I did my subscription when I was living in Australia some time ago, and nothing changed for me. I am paying $16,99 (AUD) for an individual membership.

      I would rather pay 50 chf a month for a good addblocker than 43.90 for Youtube. Just on principle.

      Crazy!! I wonder if this is just squeezing the swiss again or are other countries getting such outrageous price increases?

      These are probably the prices when doing it within the iOS or iPadOS app. Try on your browser and the prices should be “lower”.

      In was on the verge of the 23.90 family plan just a few days ago, after a few months since my Argentinian plan could not be renewed. But not with these prices. Signed up as a gamsgo family member yesterday 😉

      To answer your question, you’re getting this even higher price because you’re going through Apple. Doing it through an iPhone results in Google showing you even higher prices.

      And yes, this is an insane price hike and I have no idea how friggin’ YouTube is supposed to be worth that.

      You’re on apple and Bought it Thru the apple store?

      If so, buy it directly at YouTube or Google. It’ll be cheaper.

      You can thank apple for this.

      It’s 44CHF/month because Apple wants to collect 30% extra on top of your subscription. You need to do it on non-Apple device or web.

      Genuine question: why are people paying for YouTube? Are movies included in the subscription?

    18. coldpassion on

      Yes, Google’s mistake.. and I hope they will regret it soon… 🤬

      And for reasons I don’t care to explain, I need to have youtube premium, so I will definitely share a family membership with others from Argentina/Turkey/Brasil/etc and they can go to…

      füre pc: browser extension “ublock origin” und am beste mit firefox, goht bi mir aber au perfekt mit chrome. denn no “sponsor block” und gsehsch nie me wärbig.

      mobile android: “newpipe” (google wie installiere) oder “youtube vanced”

      mobile ios: mitem browser uf yt goh und sitte 1-2 mol gschnell neu lade, bis d werbig weg isch. aber die lösig isch alles andere als nice. IOS halt..

      It’s just greed. And it ends badly for these companies every time. Yet they never learn from other people’s mistakes.

    21. Sea-Indication-8640 on

      What do you get with this subscription ? It seems so expensive when there are free alternatives

    23. LAwLeZ on

      I zahle 26 RON das sind ca 4.90 Fr. Cha der nur empfehle de VPN trick zmache. Es gaht au no günstiger.

    26. digiepic on

      Who’s so dumb to pay if you can get everything free for free with the right app. Sorry iOS. I dont get it
