Cant believe they are increasing the prices this much in one go, gonna be going back to adblockers.
I have YouTube Premium though not the Family variant and Google won’t just fix their app. It is way behind NewPipe or YouTube ReVanced. No, I don’t need shorts. No I don’t need constant nudges to join groups of YouTubers by paying after I just paid you money, Google!
What I want is system wide quality setting (what exactly does High or Data Saver mean; would it kill you to give 480p, 720p or 1080p as options) or Sponserblock integration (okay, this thing is probably never gonna happen but still). YouTube 's app is a stinking pile of shit. I just use YouTube Music from them and will cancel/not renew my plan after it lapses.
Wait, people pay for that?
To be fair, this does add more to the pot for YouTube creators.
If you’re a YouTube Premium member, you won’t see ads, so we share your monthly membership fee with creators. Best of all, the more videos you watch from your favorite creators, the more money they make.
I’d rather just spend a fraction of the money on a Nebula subscription.
I’m surprised more people aren’t using uBlock Origin. It’s an absolute necessity for browsing the web anymore.
I barely ever use PC for browsing web anymore.
It’s available for mobile as well. You find it in the extension manager
It’s like the cost of one banana
There is always money in the banana stand.

I guess relatively few people still turn to piracy, it seems like all these streaming platforms are massively increasing their prices knowing that their customers will try to rationalise the extra spending somehow.
I personally would read this as a sign that more people are turning to ad blocking or straight up leaving. Not enough money coming in so they have to jack prices up way faster than they’d likely do otherwise.
