YouTube tv is not the same as YouTube premium.

This 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).

  No one has ever accused Google of being good with naming things, that's for sure.

    Well, to be fair, they're not nearly as bad as Microsoft.

  Youtube Premium used to be called Youtube Red. "It's a good change..."

  Google 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).

    Oh 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.

      I 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.

    But then YouTube itself also sells Movies/TV. Google really needs to sort out it's giant spaghetti mess of products.

    It'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).

      reminder 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.

  If you use an Argentina VPN, it's ~$2/month

    Do 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_...

    I'm too afraid of getting my whole Google account banned to try that

  And 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.
