That's been my feeling all along. $5-10 per month I can justify, but I really can't justify $23/mo to cover both my and my wife's accounts, especially given that they reportedly still sometimes show ads to premium subscribers. And honestly when they were getting really pushy about subscribing a year or two ago I refused because I don't give in to pushiness like that by tech companies
I’ve been on YouTube Premium since it was YouTube Red, and I’ve never seen an ad when I’m logged in.
I justify it because YouTube Music is included, so I can get music streaming without paying for a similar service from Spotify or Apple or Amazon or whomever, and also get ad-free YouTube on all my devices and whatnot.
Good for you, but it doesn't take much searching to find "I pay for premium, why am I seeing ads?"
My group of friends pay €5.50 each for premium.
Spotify is €14.61.
