Hey, Alphabet!

Want to know how to make a lot more money while being seen as the good guy at the same time?

Lower the price of youtube premium by at least 30%

You will still earn way more money from a premium user than a free user, while not being a dick.

150sek/month is too much, get to down to 100sek/month and I’ll gladly pay.

You’ll get a shittonne more paying customers at the same time.

YouTube’s pricing is a mess. Here’s a quick breakdown of their offer here in France :

  • YouTube Premium (so video + music): 12€/m

  • YouTube Music Premium (music only, obviously): 10€/m

One would assume based on this that Google values YouTube at only 2€/m per user. But anyway, let’s take a look at their family plans for a laugh:

  • YouTube Premium (6 users): 18€/m

  • YouTube Music Premium (6 users still): 15€/m

Let’s put aside the price discrepancy. 18/6 = 3€/m per user. All signs point to Google being ok with making between 2 and 3€ per user per month, yet such an offer doesn’t exist. Hell, make it 4€, even. People would flock to it. But no, they’re just being greedy.

Yeah I pay a buddy 8 every 2 months for music+no ads (+all the other stuff)

It’s definitely worth it for me but it’s definitely a fucked up pricing model for single users. There should be a sub or something for people to link up 6 people so they can all save monies

That’s exactly what they don’t want though. I wouldn’t say they’ll never offer that but if they did it would be short term until they have enough marker share and the they’ll do what Netflix did. Google (or insert prettyuch any company here) doesn’t want you to save money, they want as much of it as they can get.
