minus-squareSuperIce@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up11·2 years agoNo it’s not. It’s going up by $2 to $13.99/mo. Considering how much time I spend on YouTube, I feel like it’s worth it.

minus-squaresquidzorz@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up6·edit-22 years agoI think I’ve seen news rumors that they’re testing an ad-free YouTube-only plan that doesn’t include YouTube Music. (edit: https://www.theverge.com/2021/8/2/22605455/youtube-premium-lite-pilot-benelux-nordics-experiment-ad-free-subscription) But the reason you’re seeing $18.99/mo is because of the Apple tax. Go to https://www.youtube.com/premium to see the actual price.
