    When Google announced Play Music in 2011, I got in early and my subscription price was locked in at $8 USD a month. They gave me Youtube Premium (and Youtube Music) when that launched as part of that subscription. When Play Music was killed, my Premium membership continued at $8 a month.

    At the moment, I’m fine paying this very specific early adopter price since I watch a lot of Youtube content. If they ever raise the price on me, it’s getting dropped.

      Same. I’ll be keeping an eye on it. I really like having access to YouTube without ads, but I detest YouTube Music and opted to pay for a Spotify subscription a few months after they killed Play Music. I’m not going to pay that much for just the lack of ads. I may find another way.

      In the article say that grandfathered accounts would get three additional months at their current price but would ultimately be raised?
