I would pay for YouTube Premium, like I had been when I was a student ($7.99/month), but I'm not a student anymore and they want $19 a month. Fuck no.

$19? I don't see that option

Subscribing through the iOS YouTube app is $19 because of Apple's cut. He might mean that?

Apple tacks on another 50%? That seems high.
