    TL;DR

    • YouTube is increasing subscription prices outside the US, affecting both individual and family plans.

    • The price hike differs per region, with some seeing changes between 30% to 50%.

    • If you’re impacted, it makes YouTube Premium more expensive than Spotify Premium and Apple Music.

      If you’re impacted, it makes YouTube Premium more expensive than Spotify Premium and Apple Music.

      I find this particular comparison interesting to bring up. A Youtube Premium subscription also includes a Youtube Music sub (at least in the US, not sure about everywhere else). Which theoretically makes those subscriptions unnecessary as well (ignoring differences in catalog, device availability, etc. of course).

      It’s more than 50%. In Sweden it goes from 179 SEK to 279 SEK for family - that’s almost 56% which is an insane price hike. But hey I’m glad it helps YouTube “improve the service”. I would be out if I didn’t want my family to be able to watch without ads on several non Android devices and a smart TV…
