Like charging a fee?
Make it possible to get Premium without YT music bolted on it.
Believe it or not Google: Some users don't want it or already have a platform.
I've been around since YT red, and while Google Play Music was a better app, I am OK with YT music and primarily watch YT over the other sites and yt music is all I listen to in the house or car. So, while not cheap $22/mo for premium family fits my needs.
I'd be OK if yt allowed me to skip/blocked sponsored ads too. At least on PC sponsor block works well. For my TV its a few more hoops to get that there, which I haven't done. Not terrible to ffw across them
I'm not paying them a penny either way, but if you're going to, wouldn't you want more features for your money, even if you don't use them? Or are you suggesting they charge less for a subscription sans music?
Less money and remove music
Aka Youtube Lite Edition.
The bomb is, that Youtube wants for Lite Edition money and still serves "limited" ads.
lmao.
They bundle them together because they want people to buy more. This is why the ad-free only tier disappears and it all costs more.
