    $3/month really means nothing to me, considering I already $18.99/month for a YouTube music family plan.

    My issue is them purposely attempting to make my experience worse and then selling what they have arbitrarily taken away back to me.

    If you product is so valuable the only way a conpany can sell it is to attack your user’s experience so you pay them to stop it really starts drawing too many similarities to a mob protection racket.

      I use YouTube more than any streaming service and it was nice to get those perks. I am just waiting for the perks to be revoked and sold back to me one chunk at a time.

      Not sure how you get this price, they list it as 8.50 euros a month for me

        If you’re already paying for the Music subscription, it only costs that much more to have the whole family on premium music and video.

        It’s actually a pretty fair price for all of that for the amount my family uses it.

        I put myself, my gf, and my parents as users on the plan years ago and we all get unlimited, ad-free-ish (still have channel sponsored segments for anyone not using Vanced), streaming for less than 4 bucks a month per person.

        It’s easily the paid service that gets the most use per dollar for my family.

        I still wish it was GPM instead of YTMusic, because YT music still doesn’t have feature parity with GPM years after they killed it.
