Ohh look, It’s Youtube’s turn to enshitify their streaming services.. Again. After the Latest Netflix price hikes, this should be expected from the rest!

Government report inflation spikes last month and YouTube figures it’s a great time to increase prices.

Are they no longer earning enough money? Besides, who would need a YouTube subscription?

And they wonder why piracy just keeps increasing. Everytime someone hikes prices there are influxes of people in piracy, plex, and usenet subs asking for help setting things up. People are tired of price hikes for less or the same content.
Plus you can just add YT-Download to your piracy stack and have it auto-download videos from subbed youtube channels and have your own commercial free premium.

Shocking, well, not that shocking. 🏴☠️

I used to be a subscriber but I cancelled last year because they keep making the service worse. Things like removing the dislike button, forcing shorts and the final thing that made me cancel: forced AI auto-translate. As a non-native English speaker who watches videos in multiple languages, this is a horrid ‚feature‘ that made Youtube almost unusable for me. So I cancelled. Why should I pay more and more for a worse and increasingly frustrating service?
Then I tried YT Revanced. I can hide shorts, turn off AI-translate, have the dislike button back etc etc. It’s an objectively superior service and it’s free. I haven’t looked back since.

Can’t wait for reddit comments about how y’all jerk off to the ublock logo.
Like God y’all pirate, cool I do too I use stremio every day, I’m not taking some moral grand stand about it! Y’all are pathetic and it’s sad to see.
The chances if me buying a YouTube subscription are going down I wonder if there is a correlation. 🤔

Reminder:
– Re-Vanced is free. I haven’t seen a YouTube ad in two years.
– If you have a VPN, set it to Albania; it is illegal to have YouTube ads there.

I don’t want Youtube to know how much I’d pay for Youtube Premium, its by far my favorite streaming service

Who is in their right mind subscribes to these services … alternatives are endless
PippoKPax on
What’s wild about YouTube Premium hiking their prices vs Netflix etc is that YouTube 100% controls what they pay their content producers vs how these other streaming companies have to negotiate licenses for content.
In other words YouTube is just raising prices and can’t “justify” it in any way shape or form outside of wanting more money.
Sucks!

A functioning government could rein in these subscription services. But we forgot what that is like 10 years ago.

This is why they sent the “Hey don’t forget you have YouTube Music with your premium email…”

Aren’t you supposed to make your product good, and your customers dependent on it, before you hike the price?

I signed up for Google Music (which became YT Music/Premium) during the first 30 days back in 2013 and I’ve been grandfathered in at $7.99/month. I’m really surprised they are still honoring that deal to be honest.
TheStoryBreeder on
Shitification in progress.
Oh and as written before ublock Origin and Firefox are still free btw.
My husband and I both have YouTube Premium, so I guess now we’ll just have one account?
So, Google now gets less money not more.

The original Google Music cost $8/mo and eventually turned into YouTube Premium with those original subscribers grandfathered in at that same price over 10 years later.

The forced shorts are killing me. I don’t watch YouTube to be on a social media platform.

I mostly YouTube on a TV and the whole Revance thing doesn’t help me on that front.
sullen_agreement on
hmm. ive been paying for years but this feels like it might be too much
either unbundle Music or make the user experience on par with other music services so i can quit one of them
ShakeAndBakeThatCake on
I tend to listen to the same music over and over. I wonder if I should just buy the CDs for those artists and rip the music to my phone like I did with my ipod in the early 00s.

Got rid of Spotify (finally) and was going to try Youtube for music but maybe I won’t bother at this point.

That’s what it’s all about. Just don’t play by their rules.

What are google doing to make this increase in price worth it?

I canceled almost everything this past year and only get garbageflix because my wife started complaining when I told her I cancelled it

All the best stuff I Watch is also on Nebula, so once Youtube finally works out how to break ad-blockers I’ll just delete my account.

Just downloaded [ProTube](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/protube-block-ads-on-video/id6748081431) for iOS and [Playlet](https://github.com/iBicha/playlet) for my Roku TVs and they both work flawlessly for removing ads.
They’re still gonna have YouTube premium lite?
