Also in defense of Google - I’m still grandfathered in to the $8 plan for YouTube premium because I signed up and have remained subscribed since 2013 when they offered promotional pricing at the beginning of Google Play Music. Years later, they added YouTube Red (now Premium) to the subscription which REALLY sweetened the pot. But they’ve never bumped my subscription price up.
Ah yes, let’s defend Google for not raising the price of features that were free to begin with like listening with screen off and background listening? Not really sure how much lower the bar can get here
IDK why people are downvoting. I could see it being decent for YT Music but for YT Premium you’re literally paying for features free software can do for free. So it’s not really a good deal by any metric.

I pay $0 for uBlock Origin lol
Not for long. I’ve been getting the “You’re using an ad blocker” banner for the couple of days. I’m not losing my Gmail account over it.
Sounds like the very thing to motivate you to ditch your gmail account, don’t let them hold you hostage!

I signed up for the original family plan, and they raised my prices multiple times.
They also killed off YouTube premium light.
I think you’re only paying the original price cause of a glitch.
Same here. At $8 it’s an amazing value. I plan on keeping it until they kill off parts of it or raise the price.
Except it’s not

I don’t think this is a good POV. The biggest reason I prefer to pay for YT Premium is so creators still get revenue from me watching their videos
