YouTube Premium is now showing ads - Lemmy.World

There is a lower price tier of Youtube premium being tested in Europe right now that has ads, but still gives offline viewing and youtube music. This is what that is for. People who are seeing ads know exactly why they are seeing ads; because they signed up for a plan with ads. The regular plan at the regular price is still ad free.

The literal opposite of what people¹ want then. Give me back the €5 no ads, no yt music and no off app viewing and I will consider enabling the app and remove the YouTube adblockers in my browser.

¹ People as in me. I am at least one people.

If the cheap options suck, people might end up buying the more expensive one. At least that’s what Google hopes you will do.
