Comment on Google raising price of YouTube Premium to $13.99 per month

Wait, what the FUCK!?!

This price increase is live for new subscribers as seen on youtube.com/premium. Instead of $11.99, YouTube Premium now costs $13.99/month. Meanwhile, it’s $18.99 if you’re subscribing from the iOS YouTube app.

I’ve been paying $4/month over market rate this whole time?

  I’ve heard about it but didn’t realize someone like google would blatantly do this. SMH
  
  On PC, I’ve never watched ads. Only bought premium after getting an iPhone 2 years ago.
  
  Appreciate being able to support creators while not watching ads ¯_ (ツ)_/¯ , lot of good that did me.

  Not really though? Apple makes good hardware and operating systems, and generally have a good privacy-forward stance when it comes to software (in my opinion).
  
  Unfortunately it’s not as cut and dry as “use Gentoo” - if my ad revenue is potentially worth x, lemme just pay x for the service. I know I’m not alone in this sense.
