YouTube Premium Review 2023: Is It Worth It? Ad-Free Videos, Background Play, and More

They've raised the price since this video, of course. It's now $12.99 CDN and only a 1 month free trial. I'd be interested at half the price, I'm not paying $13 CDN/mth to watch ad free and I have no interest in the music streaming. Another question I have is, can you download 4k content with premium? According to Google, you can.

Ugh. It's going up to 13.99 in January. So bummed.

Apparently my actual comment wasn't accepted. So I say YTP is definitely worth it. Trust me. Not some weirdo with a funny hair cut.

In India, we just pay 90 cents for a month of YT premium and in USA they have to pay $15+!!!
😐

Why am I still seeing ads with premium?

We use the Family Plan in our house for 3 adults and love it. I’m the bedridden wife for the last 2 plus years, and I use it to study the ancient philosophy of Stoicism several hours per day. Commercials would ruin the state I’m in when I’m learning. I’m in constant pain, si I research the latest on pain. I watch court proceedings and police interrogations that are many hours long. They’d all be ruined by ads.

Thank you 💫🍬

Just giving it a try and on my 2nd day on premium! Pretty happy so far, just need to get used on watching videos on my mobile and locking the screen afterwards I was surprised it was still playing. So just make sure you pause before you lock your screen and you're good!

Thank you for this 👍🏻 you are a natural 🙏🏻

It is a small price to not see the gauntlet of trash ads!

I accidentally bought this somehow

Is there a bluetooth speaker that will allow you to skip ads from the speaker? Otherwise if I don't have my phone handy (ie in the shower etc) I have to listen to ads and some of them can go for a very long time. Thanks!

I can shut the screen off while listening to old radio programs.

It works ad free in premium but whenever I swap to another app music fades off. I keep play back option then why my music don't play on background when I switch to another app

Thanks for the video. I immediately went and looked at the subscription.
It's now 15.99 for single and 29.99 for family.
And that increase is just way too cost prohibitive.

For so long I thought it was just a pay five bucks and remove ads. Pretty sure that was YEARS ago!

Thanks again.

all I wanted was a way to my watch my videos without ads. 2 I’m picky about my music. I want to pick out the music videos I want. I used my premium today and downloaded about 76 music videos.. when I went (l use ipad) to see my videos they had hundreds and hundreds of suggestion,non of which I wanted,but mine could not be found. I don’t want their suggestions, l don’t want their videos. 2 things no ads during music videos and download my own.

Apple tax for only Apple users.

I can care less about the music, I wish they offered an ad-free service .....

But content creators would earn less, right?

Definitely, having an ads-free use is the main feature, but why go Premium when there's free adblocker from Chrome?
