This isn’t YouTube Premium; this is YouTube TV which is an entirely different product. YouTube Premium is like $13/mo. and cheaper for students.

And really it's just saying it's tv without physical cables which arguably is still incorrect I guess if you consider internet cables

[-] throwmeinthekbin@kbin.social 43 points 11 months ago

I don't. I consider it a series of tubes.

[-] 567PrimeMover@kbin.social 8 points 11 months ago

A cable is a tube but for electrons

[-] Johanno@lemmy.fmhy.net 6 points 11 months ago

Technically it's more like a Highway. The majority of the electrons are traveling on the outside

[-] 567PrimeMover@kbin.social 3 points 11 months ago

A highway is a tube but for cars

[-] Neve8028@lemm.ee 2 points 11 months ago

A car is a tube but for people

[-] KIM_JONG_JUICEBOX@lemmy.ml 1 points 11 months ago

The tube people will destroy us all.

Except if you use optical fibre, in that case it's photons

Hold up, it’s not a big truck?

[-] xthexder@l.sw0.com 1 points 11 months ago

Woah, what year is it?

[-] LeFantome@programming.dev 1 points 11 months ago

Ted, is that you?

[-] shanghaibebop@beehaw.org 8 points 11 months ago

This.

YouTubeTV carries network channels that directly charge YouTube TV carriage fees. Those channels charge a pretty hefty fee regardless of who you get the channels through.

This is not YouTube premium.

[-] nexguy@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago

YoutubeTV is $73 per month. What is $50?

[-] mlc894@lemm.ee 9 points 11 months ago

YouTube TV used to be $50/mo until June 2020, so I presume that this is an old meme.

[-] Woodyboye@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Sadly, its going up to like $19 a month :(

[-] SuperIce@lemmy.world 11 points 11 months ago

No it's not. It's going up by $2 to $13.99/mo. Considering how much time I spend on YouTube, I feel like it's worth it.

[-] Woodyboye@lemmy.world -1 points 11 months ago

Unless you know a way to decouple youtube from youtube music, im not wrong. I would happily pay that price for it too.

[-] ayyndrew@lemm.ee 8 points 11 months ago

That's because you're looking at it in the iOS app, so they add ~30% to make up for Apple's cut of in app purchases. If you buy it directly through the YouTube website, it will be cheaper

[-] Woodyboye@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

Thank you! Ill check that now bc these ads are driving me up the wall

I think I've seen news rumors that they're testing an ad-free YouTube-only plan that doesn't include YouTube Music. (edit: https://www.theverge.com/2021/8/2/22605455/youtube-premium-lite-pilot-benelux-nordics-experiment-ad-free-subscription)

But the reason you're seeing $18.99/mo is because of the Apple tax. Go to https://www.youtube.com/premium to see the actual price.

Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/premium

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
