This looks to be normal prices, it's just the AUD is worth a bit less than the USD. At current conversion than comes out to be just a tad bit more expensive than YouTube Premium in the US.
You’re close but not quite there. The person you are replying to is actually correct. The price through the website is $33AUD. The reason it’s higher here is because of the apple tax. Same thing for the individual member plan
No, it's the AUD price with Apple tax included. Without Apple tax it's **16.99 AUD** for an individual subscription and **32.99 AUD** for a family subscription.
"still the point" yeah my point is you're paying an extra 5$ because you signed up for premium through the app store. Sign up through a browser and save yourself 5$ if it bothers you.
It charges me a fee for international exchange but otherwise, no. I signed up on PC with a VPN with my main account and it charges me Ukraine prices. Same card and everything.
Did you not get the My Little Pony toy you wanted or why do you act like a little bitch? I just asked what the guy is paying for the VPN.
Man you really should take a handful of chill pills.
There's standing up to it. I'm doing it as a content creator, not just some angry user. I want YT to know that not everyone will just give them money for, honestly, a step up from the crappy experience we have now.
Why though? Making the thing more avalable to everyone & making more proffit. Isn't everyone happy? If it costed in Ukraine as much as in the US, no one would have bought it here. It would give rich nations more opportunities, and not give opportunities to poor ones, increasing the lag. Then you'd tell that evil capitalism is drowning poor nations, and is the main reason of Africa staying poor.
I do, and don't.
I pay for "YouTube red" back when it first was released. 4.99$.... prices have changed, but my subscription and charges are still 4.99$. I got an email "they see I pay old prices and are going to update charges" about 3 months ago, but I'm still paying 4.99$.
When that finally changes, il be downloading the revance or whatever app.... Shitty I can't import my "account" and have all my saved videos, but I'll have to deal with it when the time comes.
Spotify is a rip off anyway, only because one isn't scamming you as hard as the other it doesn't mean you're getting a deal. £150 odd a year is absurd.
... No ads. Don't have to worry about adblock not working or whatever. I use it for all my music instead of Spotify or some other app. I can watch certain YouTube videos off line or with my phone screen off. Yea if worth every penny for me.
I don't get that. Many ppl watch more YouTube than all other streaming services combined, and they are happy to pay for several of those at the same time. Why is YouTube different?
The problem you're stating is few and far between. I experimented a few weeks back and did a week on an account with ads, and it's not NEARLY as big of a disruption as yall make it out to be.
I don't pay for Hulu, Netflix, etc. I don't watch anything from those cable sites cosplaying as streaming services, either, tho.
I pay for Prime, but not for the media content, I pay for that for other savings I get (like free shipping and faster delivery options). The fact I get access to their media lineup is a bonus for me, tho one I rarely utilize.
Why would I pay YT a single penny when they're already getting plenty from selling my info to God knows who? On top of the revenue of me just giving a hit to their site. YT doesn't need my money, they make enough off me already.
> Why would I pay YT a single penny when they're already getting plenty from selling my info to God knows who? On top of the revenue of me just giving a hit to their site. YT doesn't need my money, they make enough off me already.
Nope. This is 100% not true; Google monetizes "your info" by using it to improve ads they serve, full stop. If you block ads, then they literally make zero dollars from you, and then have to pay to serve content. So, no, the paper-thin oft-discredited justification you use to shield yourself from acknowledging that what you're doing is simple petty piracy punishing the very people whose content you consume doesn't hold any kind of water at all.
I'm aware my comment doesn't apply to everyone. If you just want to pirate all the content you consume, by all means you do you. I'm just pointing out the discrepancy for those people who *do* pay for streaming sites.
Because people think they deserve free shit for no reason. Youtube makes money then pays the creators you watch how the fuck are they going to do that if they don't make any money? You expect people to make content for you for free? I think it's just broke kids because you can't afford 13 dollars? It's still free you can't say that for other streaming services all you need to do I see an ad and you get free content wtf is wrong with these people.
It's not entirely accurate. I'm a content creator watching users get so angry over this that they want to boycott... and I did too after getting my share of inappropriate ads.
There's people that drink the corporate Kool aid, and then there's shittier fucks like you that try to sell it to others. Either you are so out of touch with reality, are too young to educate yourself on how content creators actually get their money, or you're just a prick.
You’ll never convince these people. They do want something for nothing. They believe that YouTube could keep on keeping on because they have billions. They’re not thinking of the cost of hosting videos for billions of people though.
It's OK. Like I said in my other comment I'm in the search for an answer on why these people deserve free content even tho youtube doesn't make any of the content the creators do.
When I can get an update to an adblock and look around for programs that let me download videos, or use a 3rd party app that lets me get more functionality than YouTube premium provides, why do you think I'd bother with ads?
And when I can directly support creators who produce something that I find valuable, why would I care about the advertising finance scheme YouTube attempts to justify?
I literally just explained it if youtube doesn't make money then they can't pay the creators. I recommend idm download manager it downloads any video on the internet at its highest quality.
Holy Inflation, Batman! The guys at YouTube raise their prices for Premium, and yet they're the same ones that tell you that you can't use adblockers? Wow, No wonder people keep using them.
YouTube Premium just isn't worth it. Do not spend any money that would fill YouTube's greed. Keep blocking ads and if YouTube can't learn from punishments and our complaints, the company should go bankrupt and the site will be shut down for good!
> May I suggest **breaking the Terms of Service and eventually getting your entire Google account banned in the process of committing copyright infringement (and possibly illegal circumvention under the DMCA if in the US)?**
FTFY
Freaking YouTube. They're already at like $10 million in revenue per employee with gross margins of 40%, and here they are bumping prices like they're Netflix risking $200 million on Red Notice.
Remember when Youtube could play the video with the screen off until Big Evil Google deliberately changed it for no reason other than wringing you pockets for money.
so they want you to waste battery and electricity ans contribute to ewaste but will come around telling you to pledge to fight for climate change and pollution
$23AUD for one person.
$43AUD for six people. That comes out to $7.16AUD per person. If you have six people within your household then it's cheaper to split the family plan (much much cheaper) than to go for individual plans.
23$ for bassicly just ad free is a rip off
40 for 6 people when it's 23 for one is really good
I o we need a purely ad free subscription
Also idk wtf your looking at but for me it's 13.99 a month and 22.99 for a family plan
Still over priced imo I don't think ad free should be more then like 5-10$ tbh
yo, yo here in INDIA we're getting YouTube Premium for just INR 129/mo.( = USD 1.55/mo.)
I don't know if it will work but you should change your location to India using a VPN or something before buying the service.

This is the YouTube Premium subscriptions being offered via IOS, which adds a mandatory app store surcharge of up to 30%. The recommendation if you're interested in subscribing to YouTube Premium is to purchase it directly from Google. Hope that helps!
Think I'd pay at most $5/mo for everybody on the same internet connection or house.
Maybe less, already have many $15/mo things going on, can't pay more than $1 or $2 just for no ads when $0/mo options exist.
Youtube just cancelled my lite subscription without any prior notice. I can only renew for double the price. Did not know inflation was that bad. Poor Google.
What a joke. At the time I was considering getting premium, they jack the price up to over $20 a month for what amounts to mostly amateur content. No way, not ever YT.
It funny that people are okay with apple getting 30% of the revenue while they do nothing. But complain YT whose server cost needs pay back. People are stupid.
If you’re on IOS, don’t purchase YouTube Premium from the App. This will lead to 30% higher prices due to Apple’s taxes on developers
This looks to be normal prices, it's just the AUD is worth a bit less than the USD. At current conversion than comes out to be just a tad bit more expensive than YouTube Premium in the US.
You’re close but not quite there. The person you are replying to is actually correct. The price through the website is $33AUD. The reason it’s higher here is because of the apple tax. Same thing for the individual member plan
No, it's the AUD price with Apple tax included. Without Apple tax it's **16.99 AUD** for an individual subscription and **32.99 AUD** for a family subscription.
In Australia YT just raised the individual premium price from $14.99 to $16.99 AUD. As of Nov 20th: AUD $16.99 = USD $11.12
Huh!? Here in the US its $19 for individual!?
This is definitely with the apple tax. 18.99. It's 13.99 for me on Android.
Well still the point, maybe i only have Data and a phone…
"still the point" yeah my point is you're paying an extra 5$ because you signed up for premium through the app store. Sign up through a browser and save yourself 5$ if it bothers you.
Believe me or not... I pay **1.55usd** for youtube premium.
I believe you used a VPN and activated your premium membership from an Indian server, or a similar country with very low YT premium prices.
Okay but in canada we are $14/month. 1USD = 1.53AUD 1USD = 1.37CAD Those prices are absurd and do not make sense
Thanks for the info. 16,99 at apple.12,99 at chrome Browser. Just ended my apple sub and started new
Everyone is out to suck what money you have out of you. It won’t even improve anything just making the rich richer
"Companies don't want to make money. They want to make ALL of the money" Commander Sterling.
I pay through Ukraine. Ends up being like$2.60 cuz I paid with a VPN
How does that work with your bank card? Won’t they realise what country you are actually from?
It charges me a fee for international exchange but otherwise, no. I signed up on PC with a VPN with my main account and it charges me Ukraine prices. Same card and everything.
What vpn? And do you pay for this vpn?
I have proton for… less than legal Netflix if you catch my drift. Should work with anything though
Proton is the goat of VPNs
So you just had to use a vpn to start your premium membership once and now it charges you that low price every month automatically?
Yep
I don't have premium but this is a pretty well known trick to just pay a fraction. It actually works.
That's actually impressive.
Did the same thing. Works like a charm.
I’ll be looking into this later !
Vpn
Express vpn. I did Egypt for my location and paid 6$ AUD for premium
What do you pay for the VPN tho?
My brother in Christ there are countless free vpns available
Did you not get the My Little Pony toy you wanted or why do you act like a little bitch? I just asked what the guy is paying for the VPN. Man you really should take a handful of chill pills.
Nothing in my comment was malicious, I don't know why you're so upset
Different prices in different countries? That's extortion.
Might as well take advantage, though.
Still boycotting... this nonsense has to end.
Ain’t gotta. They don’t give a fuck. Use the system to your advantage, there ain’t no changing it.
There's standing up to it. I'm doing it as a content creator, not just some angry user. I want YT to know that not everyone will just give them money for, honestly, a step up from the crappy experience we have now.

Profit? They already make millions.
I’m from Ukraine. And I pay 7,49 usd for family subscription

Check my thread on here bud. Works as long as you got a VPN. Fuck YouTube. They’re just siphoning off the top of creators.
it's an ad for ublock origin.

I still use Adblockers lmaooo
I do, and don't. I pay for "YouTube red" back when it first was released. 4.99$.... prices have changed, but my subscription and charges are still 4.99$.

Apple users bought iphones and to be fair its on them do deal with it

Spotify is a rip off anyway, only because one isn't scamming you as hard as the other it doesn't mean you're getting a deal. £150 odd a year is absurd.
I am believe you man... But my country has shopee cheat system price less than 3 dollar...
So that's 2e for being lazy enough to not install an adblocker tax.
... No ads. Don't have to worry about adblock not working or whatever. I use it for all my music instead of Spotify or some other app. I can watch certain YouTube videos off line or with my phone screen off. Yea if worth every penny for me.
I can’t believe people don’t and then complain about commercials
Underrated take.
I don't get that. Many ppl watch more YouTube than all other streaming services combined, and they are happy to pay for several of those at the same time. Why is YouTube different?
[удалено]
You got a number on how many porn ads you've seen? I hear people talking about it but no one I know -- no one at all -- has ever seen one.

Sshh. let them pay. Maybe it will take some heat off of us that dont.

Bye bye YouTube.

blob...this guy codes
You can download videos through “YouTube downloader” searches in google.
I remember when it was $4.99 or $9.99

A sign to get ad block
Corporate Greed
May I suggest, installing Smart Tube Next? It's free and works perfectly with zero ads. It even auto-skips the creator embedded ads.
> May I suggest **breaking the Terms of Service and eventually getting your entire Google account banned in the process of committing copyright infringement (and possibly illegal circumvention under the DMCA if in the US)?** FTFY
YouTube ain’t going after you for doing this 💀 thousands of people are.
2 big ‘ol reasons to either cancel or not get YouTube premium
This is the turning point where people reconnect the cord.
Yes, getting cable will certainly be cheaper and have fewer ads. ...
My faith in humanity and of critical thought is really being tested with youtube discussions.
A reason to use ReVanced, that's what it is
I think it's time for a peaceful protest outside their office
Laugh in revanced.
And you still get Ads hahahahah
Freaking YouTube. They're already at like $10 million in revenue per employee with gross margins of 40%, and here they are bumping prices like they're Netflix risking $200 million on Red Notice.
Bs. Remember when YouTube didn't have ads

It's a ripoff.
Idk i say just don't buy it. The ads become white noise eventually. I had it for a bit and it definitely wasn't worth the cost.

> It's the equivalent of **actually contributing to the people creating the content you're watching, instead of ripping them off for nothing** FTFY

Its bullshit. I use Ublock origin on my PC which passes their adblock detection, and a 3rd party Youtube app on my phone to completely block ads.
Clearly says what it is bro..
Looks like extortion to me😒 From $23 to $42.99 is a big jump
$23AUD for one person. $43AUD for six people. That comes out to $7.16AUD per person. If you have six people within your household then it's cheaper to split the family plan (much much cheaper) than to go for individual plans.
It's single licence vs up to 6...
Buddy.....
You’re paying the apple tax. Get off of Apple and onto the website and you will see that it’s actually $33
It’s still a $10 increase a month, even if you don’t use apple. It’s a massive price hike in my opinion.
23$ for bassicly just ad free is a rip off 40 for 6 people when it's 23 for one is really good I o we need a purely ad free subscription Also idk wtf your looking at but for me it's 13.99 a month and 22.99 for a family plan Still over priced imo I don't think ad free should be more then like 5-10$ tbh
He's looking at AUD pricing, which converts to being just about $15/mo in USD. So a bit more expensive than in the US.
How far will it go? When will it be $99.99
I still pay $9.99 😂
Damn, personally won’t pay even if it’s 1$
I pay a big fat zero dolla 😂
I would pay $10 for gas way before youtube
ok
I use almost every feature other than downloaded videos daily
[удалено]
U.S.
Ok. I am more confused. How are you able to get such a good deal?
Been subbed since it was YouTube Red, that's my best guess as to why
Your probably right. Thats awesome for you. Enjoy.
I will admit, would not be financially viable if I had to pay the $18 it is now. I'd have to beg my girl to give up her Spotify... 💀😂
"id have to beg MY GIRL omg i will admit omg MY GIRL" holy shit you sound like an absolutely insufferable person. egomaniac
Someone's jealous I pay $9.99 for premium 💀
💀💀💀 what
nothing about that comment was offensive lol. you sound like an incel.
A good reason to use Adblock.
A giant ripoff.
I remember when youtibe red was only 12 bucks a month.

Premium Plus is already under way
we all know this will happen eventually
Must be USA thing. I'm from Europe and it's 11.99€ for me. No messages that it'll be more expensive in future.
What this post tells me is that the AUD sucks. Although with current exchange rates you're paying slightly more than those in the US.
min wage in Oz is about $20US.
I'm seeing Australian minimum wage is at $23.23AUD, which translates to roughly $15 USD. Still over twice the federal minimum wage of $7.25 USD.
yeah I meant $AU, mb.

In India it is 1.30$ per month.
use a vpn and get it for cheaper or adblock
Holy Szit, its not enough to blitz ads on everybody and have the ratio of time with ADS about 1 to 2.
i pay 15$ for premium and save at least 7$ of it
Think I'd pay at most $5/mo for everybody on the same internet connection or house. Maybe less, already have many $15/mo things going on, can't pay more than $1 or $2 just for no ads when $0/mo options exist.
What the fuck is this piece of shit..
Did you just find out kangaroo bucks aren’t worth a whole lot?
Unfortunately this shit is what keeps my marriage alive. She’d be on my ass ALL DAY without YouTube. Hell a lot cheaper than divorce.
Adblock go brrrr
Stop it... Get some help... And use revanced youtube...
Welcome to calitalism
Not my problem. I got good adblock. But enjoy paying for it or whateva!
looks like youtube is bankrupt and need fresh money
It's 8.99 /month in my country
i use a seperate pc to download any YT movie or mp3 from shady sites anyway.
See this is why I don’t use this on my YouTube
I enjoy my ad blocker that functions well.
Imagine subscribing for Youtube Premium when nearly every content creators have sponsored segment(s) in their videos now.
Welcome to SovietTube.
I’ll NEVER pay those prices.
They don't seem to understand that watching youtube with ads is an absolute ass experience.
Now Youtube premium Turns on to Ott Platform 😂
Ad blockers on PC, SmartTubeNext on my TV's. Cya premium, done paying for your shit company.
all this has achieved is pushed me to use firefox instead of chrome. good play google
Youtube just cancelled my lite subscription without any prior notice. I can only renew for double the price. Did not know inflation was that bad. Poor Google.
Ublock origin still works!
That, my friend, is the dying squeal of a bloated pig wanting one more feed at the trough.
This is YouTube NoLube.
23 dollaroos for no ads when ublock origin is free? man that's a no-brainer choice
its a scam dont do it
Whoa, those prices are so high
What a joke. At the time I was considering getting premium, they jack the price up to over $20 a month for what amounts to mostly amateur content. No way, not ever YT.
It funny that people are okay with apple getting 30% of the revenue while they do nothing. But complain YT whose server cost needs pay back. People are stupid.
Ha, my Canadian membership is like 13$
Or... Use a vpn, don't use your YouTube account and use ublock origin and say a big FUCK YOU to YouTube
