Dayyyum. Just noticed on mobile app, if I hold down the screen it plays the video at 2x speed then 1x when I let go. Great touch that.

Hope it's only for us premium lads. Especially premium vpn lads...

It also works on the pc

Just held my mouse button on the screen and it does exactly the same thing as the mobile app!

It works for non-premium users (desktop and mobile) as well.

I've had an email to say that my Argentinian subscription is going up from ARS 389/month to ARS869/month so to about £2/month.

My turkish one is doubling in price essentially for family, £1.80 up to about £3.50 - will still keep it unless there are some other countries doing significantly cheaper family subs.

I hate it. I used to use the hold down feature on mobile to scrub along the timeline.

I think I am paying TRY 59.99/mo for YouTube Family Membership, but not had any emails yet. Can you confirm what the new TRY price is please?

Ublock origin seems to be working for me for now. **** youtube. As with all these services, if the adverts weren't so obnoxious and they weren't so ******* greedy with the amount they charged I would pay it. This ridiculous pursuit of ever growing profits is just doing my head in. Sad thing is that every time a company does this they do post record profits because people are lazy and won't vote with their wallets.

I pay in UAH, haven't had any emails about the subscription price rising.

115.99 for new price, as I say, essentially doubled.

Same with the Netflix Turkey sub but still way cheaper than the UK alternative.

Yup, for the benefit and ease of use across devices with multiple family members, still worth it for me.

Yep just had that. Wondering if it's worth packing all my stuff up an moving country again but for £2 I should just suck it up

But I wont because I'm a cheapskate who will never own a Gucci belt.

To continue delivering great service and features, we’re increasing your price to TRY 115.99 /month

still cheap, not wanting to deal with adverts again

Yup same here. Will suck it up for the mean time.

I think it is still the best price out there, unless you paid for an annual Turkey one.

Junglist · 2 Nov 2023 at 13:08

To be fair, with how much YouTube content I consume, £2 is still day light robbery

Thanks - yes agreed, still worth it for me. Can't stand adverts and now that they're cracking down on adblockers it's a no-brainer, even at the higher prices.

SixTwoSix · 2 Nov 2023 at 13:15

Additionally if not for the fact my garmin forerunner locks out youtube music, i'd be using it exclusively for listening, worth the price alone for that.

Youtube still makes a loss.

Nothing about India hikes.... Yet.
