YouTube launches a $7.99 per month, ad-free Premium Lite subscription
-
If they bundled youtube music with it, maybe I'll consider it. But this lite version will have ads on music and music videos.
lol wait, that’s just YouTube premium isn’t it?? and that’s existed for a long time already
Every previous YouTube premium post used to be inundated with people asking for a YouTube premium that didn’t include music because everyone already has music from Apple or Spotify. This is YouTube’s offering for that.

That's YouTube premium, that product already exists.

Tempting, but I'll stick with free sponsorblock. I could be convinced to switch if they started paying me though

Eight dollars a month for fucking "premium-lite" is insane.
Yeah especially without full feature parity with YouTube premium. This $7.99 price should omit music but everything else from premium should be included, and even that feels a little expensive.

Super important and makes this completely useless.

Somebody didn't read the article! It's only Music videos that will have ads. It seems the cost savings here are all from cutting out record label contracts

I did read the article. Music videos on YouTube are YouTube videos. Adding ads to them doesn't magically make them something else.
What they're really saying is "oh, well, we want you to get used to the subscription model having ads on some things, because we plan to expand it massively in the future."

Honestly a music video is basically one long commercial anyway I'm surprised they would have ads.
how is a music video a commercial?

I don't want ads in any of my videos, but if I have to have intrusive and distracting profit generating clips interrupt what I actually want to watch ... I think music videos are among the ones I'd prefer disrupted the least.

Is "verticals" marketing speak for "categories" or "genres" or does it mean something else?

Sponsorblock built in would be nice.
There are a few apps you can get for like Google TV (nvidia shield etc..) Like smartyoutubetv. But they've gotta be side loaded. So you need to install some way to get the APK on the device. It's all doable, but it's a pain.
I'd prefer just paying and losing the ads. Since I'm dreaming, I'd also like a check box to remove shorts all together from my experience.

I don't get the people shitting on this. It's a very fair plan. Something I've been wishing existed for the past month, even. Like the article states, it's for people who use YT to watch TV (me).
I just hope there's a yearly plan to get a little bit more of a discount. Student plan is the same price but no yearly plan, so it comes to ~$90 per year.

Too little too late, I wish there was a non-US alternative to YouTube.

Then you are using it for music and pay the full rate.

uBlock Origin and SponsorBlock are still free.

Well, in fact, I just tolerate the ads and don't directly offer financial recompense. Indeed, if I were to go for a paid tier, you are correct that it would likely be one that didn't put ads where I want them least.

"ad-free" sure, I heard that before.

It varies by org but yes verticals are usually product silos that serve certain types of customers or needs.
