Errrr, what? I'm sick of ads on YouTube so I was thinking of subscribing. But it's USD$73 A MONTH? That's like more than AUD$100 a month. What am I missing?

Errrr, what?
I'm sick of ads on YouTube so I was thinking of subscribing.
But it's USD$73 A MONTH? That's like more than AUD$100 a month.
What am I missing? That's about 4 X ridiculous.
- LegitShady 4y agoYouTube tv is not the same as YouTube premium.
- bombcar 4y agoThis is incredibly stupid naming. I saw these prices and just entirely gave up even thinking about premium until I saw the note (and then I still gave up on it, anyway).
- apocalyptic0n3 4y agoNo one has ever accused Google of being good with naming things, that's for sure.
- midoridensha 4y agoWell, to be fair, they're not nearly as bad as Microsoft.
- elsonrodriguez 4y agoYoutube Premium used to be called Youtube Red. "It's a good change..."
- ianburrell 4y agoGoogle has decided to use Youtube branding for anything media related. Youtube Music instead of Google Play Music, Youtube Movies & TV instead of Google Play Movies & TV (which is hanging on for now).
- bboygravity 4y agoOh wow, I just assumed Youtube Music was some kind of subscription to watch official music videos on Youtube (the website) for the past few years. Until I read your comment. wow.
- ask_b123 4y agoI always thought it was simply this: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-9-kyTW8ZkZNDHQJ6FgpwQ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-9-kyTW8ZkZNDHQJ6FgpwQ The thing that you get when you click on Music in the left sidebar of YouTube.
- kennydude 4y agoBut then YouTube itself also sells Movies/TV. Google really needs to sort out it's giant spaghetti mess of products.
- jonny_eh 4y agoIt's also an internal organizational thing. Anything with a YouTube label is managed by the YouTube org within Google. So Google Music -> YouTube Music was not just a rebrand, it was a new codebase managed by a new team (although some engineers likely moved over).
- LegitShady 4y agoreminder that the android youtube music app still doesnt have a usable horizontal rotated mode but ipads version of the app had it years ago. i think youtube layed off even the goldfish in a bowl they had developing the app.
- atyppo 4y agoIf you use an Argentina VPN, it's ~$2/month
- bentcorner 4y agoDo what you want, but I would recommend not doing this, because it ruins things for the Argentinian people. Same thing happened to video games: https://www.reddit.com/r/Steam/comments/ydkeb1/new_regional_prices_are_absolute_crap/ https://www.reddit.com/r/Steam/comments/ydkeb1/new_regional_...
- benhurmarcel 4y agoI'm too afraid of getting my whole Google account banned to try that
- mochomocha 4y agoAnd it's not only the names that are stupid. 50% of the time on my TV when I'm trying to open the Youtube app, I end up clicking on the Youtube TV app, because the logos look exactly the same.
- adrianmonk 4y ago> What am I missing? You're missing "TV". YouTube and YouTube TV are different products. Yes, the brands are pretty confusing.
- andrewstuart 4y ago[flagged]
- somethoughts 4y agoI think the smart thing to have done would have been to bundle Youtube TV subscriptions with Youtube Premium access - or at least have a Youtube One subscription plan for $79.99 or something. Otherwise as a potential new customer, Youtube TV seems to be one of just many offerings with no real advantage.
- jamincan 4y agoYoutube Music is also an entirely separate product as well.
