Mateys, ahoy! Gather 'round, and let's set sail for a magnificent adventure on the YouTube seas. But hold on to your treasure chests, because YouTube Premium is getting a price hike! The price of YouTube Premium in the United States has risen by $2 to $13.99 per month. Shiver me woods!
But hold on, there's more! YouTube Music, the musical treasure trove, has also joined the pricing war. It's now $10.99 a month, much like the rest of the country's music providers. Spotify may be the sole scallywag still costing $9.99, but even its captain, Daniel Ek, has hinted at raising the sales and charging more soon. Yo ho ho, seems like prices be rising like a storm at sea!
But don't get your cutlasses twisted. Google has verified the revelation, claiming that it is all for the sake of providing superior service and features. They believe that the increased pricing represents the treasure trove of services that YouTube Premium provides. Ad-free YouTube, background and offline play, and access to over 100 million songs via YouTube Music - sounds like a pirate's dream!
Don't go walking the plank just yet! The costs of most existing YouTube Premium and YouTube Music Premium users will rise beginning with the next payment cycle. They'll receive a raven (or, in this case, an email) to confirm the change. And don't worry if you still have the old YouTube Red legacy plan! They'll get three more months at the old rate before the price tide rises.
But be careful, my friends; the rise may not stop here. Google is keeping an eye on the future, and further price increases may be on the way in other nations. Yes, they'll give the team a fair warning, with at least 30 days' notice before the storm comes.
So, what's the big deal with YouTube Premium, you ask? With YouTube Premium, you can sail the YouTube seas without being annoyed by bothersome commercials. Even in the depths of Davy Jones' locker, you can download videos to watch later (that's offline watching, boys!). You may even listen to the lovely sounds of a video while exploring other sections of the internet with background playback. That's every pirate's fantasy come true!
So, prepare yourselves for this costly adventure with YouTube Premium, my friends. Remember, you don't have to walk the plank to reap the advantages. Not to mention that it puts a stop to Google's naggin'. Happy YouTube sailing, everyone!
