Google raising price of YouTube Premium to $13.99 per month - programming.dev

The price of an individual YouTube Premium subscription is increasing by $2 to $13.99 per month in the US for new and current customers. This price increase is live for new subscribers as seen on youtube.com/premium [http://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.

People tell me oh youtube prem is reasonable but I know that yt is just going to raise the price bit by bit and everyone will accept it because they have no other option.

because they have no other option.

I dunno, Piped has been a very good other option for me.

Don’t forget NewPipe for Android, Yattee for Apple devices, SmartTube for most Android TV boxes, Playlet for Roku, and Invidious for PC (if you don’t like Piped).

The only (usable) platform I can think of without a ad-free YouTube client is maybe webOS for LG TVs.

Also don't forget https://github.com/revanced it even has a manager for updates.
That too! I just don’t use it myself because I find NewPipe works well enough for me. However, I should still try it out eventually to see if I’m missing anything big.
