The countries where YouTube Premium is getting more expensive include Argentina, Australia, Austria, Chile, Germany, Poland, and Turkey.
What a terrible strategy…
Hey you should consider not blocking ads and joining YouTube Premium! By the way we just increased the price of the service you currently virtually have for free.
More like “now that we’ve taken care of the competition, we’re free to jack up the prices! It’s The American Way!”
What competition? There never was any competition for Youtube.
Competition for YouTube Premium (ad blockers).

Yeah, the reason I block the ads and don’t buy premium is because the price is too high.
Corporate greed is the reason I run my own pirate media server with 32tb of storage and only access youtube through revanced.
I used to quite happily pay for Netflix and YouTube Premium. Now that money goes to a domain registrar and usenet provider. Fuck em.
Fuck Youtube, I hope peertube takes off!
It’s really struggling with content and users though. Servers exist, they’re not really the big issue.
Unfortunately, until and unless peertube can pay creators (so basically never), it will only ever see use by foss enthusiasts, and even then only hobbyists will use it as their primary platform. For someone making a career out of it, youtube is pretty much the only real option at the moment.
Kinda, but Patreon exists and many of youtubers already get lots of money through it.
I disagree. I believe that the problem is that if you upload videos there they don’t automatically get a few views. Peertube basically doesn’t have an audience.
Earning money with Youtube already is very hard, you need large amount of viewers and it’s not enough so many youtubers resort to adverts and product placement within their videos.
Peertube actually has a
button that creators can activate. If a user presses it they will see a popup with markdown formatted text where the creator can put their affiliate links, patreon, paypal and whatever they like. I think it’s a very neat solution, since it’s unobtrusive for the user and very flexible for the creator.
I’m doing my part.
yaay, me too. I try to watch some of the content there and upload some :)
I upload there daily since 5 days ago. And before that, the last time I uploaded something there, as well as on youtube, was 3 months ago.
Cool, can you share the channel?
It has content in Spanish or related to Spain somehow, but here it is.
Awesome
They got rid of premium lite :( I just want no ads, I don’t care about youtube music or any other features.
Lol are Turkey and Argentina included because a lot of people use vpn and sign up there?
my cost already went up two months ago, if it hikes again I’m bailing on premium. I think the current price is outrageous as it is. I thought I was going to cancel last time but I never did. but a raise again will put it more then I make an hour, and there’s no way i can choke that down for a free service. I’ll just go twitch only.
They’re gonna get it from both ends. It used to be free, but now, pay us to watch, or pay us to watch.
My ReVanced says 🇵🇱 WYPIERDALAĆ 🇵🇱
Are we surprised? They were gonna try to scrape that revenue one way or another.
