YouTube Premium quietly goes up in price to $14 per month
- ericbarrett 3y agoIt's a $1/mo increase. I got an email about it with 50+ days notice. It even had an unsubscribe link should I have been so inclined. No complaints here (except the extra buck).
- stringfood 3y agoI recently bought Premium because I realized 80% of my media consumptions is from it. Compare that to Hulu plus or cable and even at 14 a month its a great deal
- jtode 3y ago"Everything's fine, we're not circling the drain, we'll be able to pay all that interest somehow..."
- fooker 3y agoSeems on par with inflation
- tssva 3y agoStill $7.99 a month for me. Google hasn't tried to weasel out of that price guarantee yet. Unfortunately I can't say that about every company that promised me an early adoption price guarantee.
- GauntletWizard 3y agoIt was for me until they "forgot" I had a backup card on my payment account and cancelled it when my card expired. The bastards. It's now cheaper to switch to a family plan... But I would have kept that forever.
- hacym 3y agoThey should really bundle this with YouTube TV. Their offering has gotten weak over the past year — at least for me — and a YT Premium sub for free or heavily discounted would definitely make me more interested in keeping it. Otherwise, I find it too expensive in a world where ad blocking is so easily done.
- dahdum 3y agoI’d rather they unbundle sports from YouTube TV. They’ve “reimagined” cable with the same forced bundling and sports subsidies that ruined cable in the first place.
- guidedlight 3y agoYouTube TV is a US-only streaming platform. YouTube Premium is global? offering. So they are for different audiences.
- hacym 3y agoPretty sure that doesn’t matter in this instance.
- jauntywundrkind 3y agoThe family plan went up $5/mo to 23$/mo a good bit back. Good for up to 6 family members, but notably everyone is supposed to be at the same address.
- indigodaddy 3y agoI have the family plan and was annoyed by that $5 increase.. they didn’t also just raise that again did they? $23 is already high enough
- deafpolygon 3y agoToo rich for my blood.
- TheLoafOfBread 3y agoIt is now matter of time before YouTube Premium add ads
- HanClinto 3y agoConsidering how much we watch from it, this lets me continue to support the platform and the creators and get around annoying ads? Definitely! YouTube is one of the few bright spots on the modern Internet, and I'm very willing to support it financially.
- foxyv 3y agoBetween YouTube Music and the Ad-Free YouTube videos, this is the one subscription I just can't let go. If they ever try to put advertisements back though I'm going to drop them like a buttered cucumber.
- sp332 3y agoIs anyone else seeing ads in search results, even with Premium?
