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

Oof I think this service is only worth it if you have a family plan and everyone helping. That is how I personally make it reasonable in terms of pricing.

I’m in the UK and it’s already too expensive imo.

Would be great if I could just pay for no ads YT without YT music.

In fairness, the amount of YT that I watch on TV/iPhone makes it worth the cost, but any increases and I’ll probably just cancel and watch less YT, which isn’t a bad thing.

Or maybe just look at getting one of those Turkish subscriptions for like £2/month

Indian family plan is £2 a month for 6 people.
Does it block people who don’t live in the same location/state?
Nope. You only need a VPN on the initial purchase then you can add or remove family members as you wish.
I don’t think it is possible anymore. If you’ve signed up in the past you’re fine. However, you now need a payment card from the country in order to purchase.
A lot of streaming services are cracking down on workarounds it seems. Many have stopped accepted disposal debit cards as a means of repeatedly getting free trials.
