YouTube Premium

[jon86]

What will you do when nothing works to get around the UK pricing? It's only a matter of time.

Folks will likely jump onto "household sharing" after the country arbitrage trick goes away. They'll start with country membership arbitrage (being part of a household membership in a cheap country) and then move to their home country. It'll likely take YouTube some years before they implement a Netflix-style YouTube household sharing crackdown, and it'll potentially be harder to implement as well, as YouTube content is often consumed quite differently to Netflix content.

I am genuinely surprised that uBlock Origin (Lite!) is still working perfectly on Google Chrome (no less!) to block YT ads on my desktop. When that goes away, I'll switch back to Firefox where uBlock Origin is still fully supported.

For me YT premium is the best value paid for content service. Such a wide variety of content at one of the lowest monthly fees.

Same for me. I'll always try to get it as cheaply as possible, but if necessary, I don't mind paying the full UK price, as I get much more value out of it than I would from a Netflix, Apple TV or Disney+ subscription, for example. In fact, I probably watch/listen to more YouTube than all of the other subscription services combined.

Exactly the same. It's my go to when I have time to watch TV.

How do you manage not paying the full UK price? Or that's just by using another country's price?

I've got a few days left via Poland, after that I'll probably do the family account split method.

I literally only watch UT and i don't mind the £12.99 for the content and no adverts ,

I think the £19.99 a month for the family sub is really good value, all the kids watch a lot of youtube as do I so we get decent value out of it.

I don't see it being lowest monthly fee. Having dropped Netflix and Disney+ to the second-best tier, those are both less than YouTube... And allow multiple users.

IMO £12.99 is quite a lot for a single subscription, hence refusing to pay for the top tiers now they're over that. My partner and I have 3 users (me, her, shared) so it's frustrating we'd need a family pass at £20.

That said I don't know how you can claim it's good value while evading the right cost, sorry @Ayahuasca. It's worth paying for so you pay it, or it's not and you abuse the system (or just don't use it).

It's quite simple really, because the method of getting it cheaper takes seconds so I'm not just going to pay more for it out of principle. We all like to save money where we can?

Something can still be good value at full price even if it's been possible to get it for much less.

I’m the same, YouTube music, ad free, background playing and download offline all for £13 not quite a bargain but very reasonable for me.

At £5.06p its a steal

Is there anything you can share on getting it at the discounted price?

Im on a family plan which I I joined through the MM on here and its well worth it to avoid the ads if you watch TY a fair amount. I don't use any other social media, but I do like to watch a few youtubers for tech/food channels and it used to drive me up the wall with the ads which got worse and worse over time.

Is anyone planning to sell family slots in the MM anytime soon?

I’ve stuck a post on the mm with family slots available (3)

Thanks, think I'll wait to see if any of the £3.30 slots become available.

 

[Heisenberg]

No worries, was paying £5 or so previously so just looking to be paying roughly the same and offer the same to others.

I imagine that clamping down on "household sharing" is next after they've removed all of the foreign country membership arbitrage, similar to what Netflix has recently very successfully implemented.

I think they already have, or they’ve at least announced they will. I read something about it on the YouTube subreddit earlier this week

Agreed. Unless I’ve missed something, I’m not sure how he’s justifying £5 a slot. Borderline profiteering imo
