Fk no. I was finally seriously considering buying YT premium for Google not fking anything up in the past few months, bringing back sort by oldest, and knowing I'm not part of the anti AdBlock trial to make their anti AdBlock efforts less effective.

Thankfully the price of my YT free account is still only the cost of everything I've ever written in email or a web browser so all good ๐
So Canadians can expect 20$ a month now?
Oh no!
Anyway
oooh I can feel something big is coming - them testing the anti-adblock and raising the prices at the same time. Spotify is going to be in a weird place for me if this goes through.
Youtube blocks adblockers โก๏ธ More people are "forced" to subscribe to Youtube Premium โก๏ธ Because of higher price that includes YT music, not sure whether I'll need Spotify too โก๏ธ Youtube wins

Huh. I wonder if they will increase the grandfathered price I've been paying as a Play Music early adopter. Hope not, because at $7.99 it still feels like a pretty good deal.
