Sceenshot showing youtube premium family plan price increased from SGD17.98 to SGD27.98

Cant believe they are increasing the prices this much in one go, gonna be going back to adblockers.

    A LOT of people pay for that. I was flabbergasted as well. Why would you pay for a free service? This feels like buying premium bottled tap water and they don’t even bother to filter out the chlorine and the heavy metals.

      because it is not a free service, you are watching ads.

      I may accept it if it was not bundled with data mining. and if they wouldn’t constantly increase prices

      It started out incredibly cheap ($15 mo for six people), and includes a Spotify style music streaming service

      Do you pay for Lemmy? Did you donate something? Or do you think you don’t need to, because it’s free?

        I’m sorry, I did not put this in the right words. I thought I already deleted the comment. But no yes yes.

      Why would you pay for a free service?

      If it were a charity or non-profit that would be one thing. Google is doing fine without your support though.
