Google raising price of YouTube Premium to $13.99 per month - Lemmy.world

I really wish they’d drop the YouTube Music aspect of this and just do an ad-free YouTube sub. Happy to pay content creators for their work; less happy to give Google money for a music platform after what they did to Google Music.

I’m the opposite. I’m still grandfathered into the $7.99 Google Music sub, which turned into YT Music + YT premium. The cheapest music service with basically free YT premium is nice

I wouldn’t pay more though

It’s probably improved a lot since the early days. I remember it being significantly worse than the Google Music it was replacing.

It still is in parts. Still takes a few extra taps/screens to get to playlists

They are least stopped the practice of just starting a song when you went into a playlist.

My big gripe was the loss of audio quality. Made me pick up Amazon music for a bit
