Sceenshot showing youtube premium family plan price increased from SGD17.98 to SGD27.98

Cant believe they are increasing the prices this much in one go, gonna be going back to adblockers.

      As I said in a previous post, people are afraid of pirating, so they prefer higher prices if it is a “safe” method.

      I pay for that, because YouTube and YouTube Music is the main source of media for me And my family and I have no issue with paying for a service that I use a lot. And paying for that is so much easier then investing huge amounts of time into searching for and maintaining alternative Players and Tools for all the different devices where I (and my family) consume YouTube and YouTube Music. My limited time is more valuable for me then the price for the service.

        I can understand if you want to pay. But don’t say it’s hard to block ads when all you need is uBlock origin installed… And that’s it. It’s literally a 15 seconds job for the rest of the life of your browser.

      A LOT of people pay for that. I was flabbergasted as well. Why would you pay for a free service? This feels like buying premium bottled tap water and they don’t even bother to filter out the chlorine and the heavy metals.

        Why would you pay for a free service?

        If it were a charity or non-profit that would be one thing. Google is doing fine without your support though.

        Do you pay for Lemmy? Did you donate something? Or do you think you don’t need to, because it’s free?

          I’m sorry, I did not put this in the right words. I thought I already deleted the comment. But no yes yes.
