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
I don't. I consider it a series of tubes.
A cable is a tube but for electrons
Technically it's more like a Highway. The majority of the electrons are traveling on the outside
A highway is a tube but for cars
A car is a tube but for people
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?
Woah, what year is it?
2006 baby
Ted, is that you?
YoutubeTV is $73 per month. What is $50?
YouTube TV used to be $50/mo until June 2020, so I presume that this is an old meme.
Sadly, its going up to like $19 a month :(
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.
Unless you know a way to decouple youtube from youtube music, im not wrong. I would happily pay that price for it too.
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
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
