Following the United States in July, YouTube Premium’s international price increase is starting. The Google video is rolling this out slowly across Europe, Asia-Pacific, and South America.

As of November 1, YouTube Premium is seeing an international price increase in Argentina, Australia, Austria, Chile, Germany, Poland, and Turkey. This applies to individual, family, and student plans for YouTube Premium and YouTube Music Premium.

The minute my ad blocker stops working I'll stop using Youtube because 1) I'll never pay for it and 2) I won't be watching ads.

[Apolonio ₃₄]

Imagine paying $23/$43 for ******* YouTube especially for those weak incentives. I’m content with my ads.  
It’s only a few secs before you can click them off anyways.

Premium users deserve this tbh, imagine paying for freaking youtube

I started paying because they offered the family premium account for like 1 dolar 

The advantages of living in a country with one of the worst economies

This is only for those countries that hadn't already previously got the price hike. NOT new.

Well I use Firefox and Ublock only, so yes

[May]

at a time when TikTok is their biggest competitor, this really is NOT the best time for YouTube to be treating its users like this

 

all it’s gonna take is for TikTok to create a dedicated section for YT-like videos and people will jump ship

Is that supposed to be better in some way

 

[Anthinos]

No thanks. It's way too expensive imo. I'm not paying this much money just to watch videos without ads. These companies need to chill.

By that logic it should cost $0,01 in my country yet it's the same price as the US. Another reason to hate them and not pay ****.

[Dear Reader]

If you get blocked by youtube, just click share and embed and you can watch all the videos there

Yeah when my friend who lives there told me what y'all pay for Spotify I was like WTF? Oh well at least it's not full price here. I pay $5,99 for it.

[Almodusa]
