Does not go without a day YouTube To urge me to subscribe to the premium. Whether I want to hate me with endless advertisements or taunt me with free download and lack of background play support, Google believes that there is a hypnotic case of pay-to-play. I am not sure
Even if premium Membership Will save me a lot of headache and allow me to reach other characteristics, there is no plan that is fit in my living condition, and it is also a problem for many others. Here is described how Google can fix it with a simple change.
Single makes me understand, but family does not understand for us

Many readers subscribe to Youtube premium for advertising-free experience, YouTube music premium access, downloadable videos and YouTube music access. But Youtube plans believe that homes include either a person or an extension house – nothing in the middle.
Currently, there are three YouTube premium levels: one for students, one -third for the homes of one and six members, but none of these meet my needs. I can immediately rule the student plan because I am no longer eligible for offering $ 7.99/month. $ 13.99/Month Personal Plan makes the most understanding for me, but I do not live alone. My partner also sees YouTube; I am sure she would like an advertising experience. If I bought two individual plans, it would cost $ 27.98/month, which is more expensive than Netflix’s ridiculous 4K tier.
I am no longer a student, I do not live alone, nor do I live with five other people. No premium plan is understood for me.
Naturally, the next best option is a family plan, right? At $ 23.99/month, it is cheaper than paying for two personal plans and allows me to gift five other family members with premiums. However, it is not as great deal as it seems. YouTube is now implementing rules against sharing benefits with family members who do not live in the same house. Since we are only two, what should I do with the remaining four places? I will fully nominate my parents and sisters in my account, but since they do not stay with me, YouTube does not close those paths? I have faced this exact issue with Netflix and will not be burnt again.
None of the three available levels meet my partner and my needs, making it difficult to justify the membership of YouTube premium, with its benefits. If youtube premium has actually offered unique and transformative features, I can consider the plan of a full -fed family. But in its current situation, I do not believe that it is worthwhile to pay $ 24 per month. The premium requires a mid-range tier to attract users like me.
Is the premium ‘premium’ enough?

This is not a concept of some far and wide that I am either proposing. I am a spotfy customerAnd I like service, especially its characteristics such as jam and connect. However, I was initially designed to spotify due to its pair plan. For less than a single YouTube premium membership, my partner and I can hear my own music advertising and enjoy cooperation equipment.

What I pay for the Spotify couple, I get more than my money. If I had paid for both of us for the YouTube premium family, I do not think so. I know that Spotify and YouTube premium are not equivalent services, but it is easy to get large-ticket features of YouTube premium without paying for them. You do not need to risk installing a third-party or informal app to achieve them.
At the prices of family plans, there is no really useful premium features for me.
latest Microsoft Edge Canary Create recently introduced background play and advertising-block support. Banana browser has a built -in media player that unlocks most of the premium features of YouTube, while the brave offers a similar complete experience. YouTube premium features are not exclusively exclusive to pay more than $ 280 annually.
I also argue that YouTube experience As a whole under an entire product, I am ready to pay. The rise of low quality AI slope on trending, spread of shorts, text-post on platform, severe lack of customization of the application, and average personal recommendations that I receive, if I suddenly get out of $ 20/month, will not improve. YouTube music, while an experience that I enjoyed completely, is still behind its rivals like Spotify and not to buy on its own. The fact is that it has a lump with a premium video service, either not enough gravity.
YouTube still needs to convince me that the premium cost is worth. Single and family plans are not sufficiently attracting, but a pair of plan will go a long way towards rotating my arm.
YouTube heard our arguments, but have it heard?

There may be some good news on the horizon. YouTube has been tested Two-person premium scheme In many markets for several months including France, Hong Kong, India and Taiwan. Based on the pricing structure in these markets, such a scheme can have about 1.5 single plans. This is a price proposal that I will consider.
A two-individual plan that costs ~ 50% more than a single plan can revaluate me my premium stagnation.
So far there is no evidence that the company is pushing this scheme to all corners of the world. If its test data is not favorable, the company can easily toss it aside or completely revaluate its structure. I contacted YouTube to comment on the pilot and its future, but did not get any response before publication.
He said, I am rapidly disappointed with the schemes available to me, and I know there are thousands of users too. A two-person plan will probably give us the option we need.
