YouTube Premium: another massive price increase in some regions angers users
#1
Information 
Quote:While Google continues its fight against content blockers and third-party YouTube viewing solutions, it appears to have started another round of price increases.

The details:
  • The price of a subscription has increased in ten countries so far.
  • In some countries, a family plan membership has increased by more than $10 per month.
  • Individual YouTube Premium subscriptions have increased by more than $2 per month in some regions as well.
  • Countries with a price increase: Ireland, Netherlands, Italy, Belgium, Denmark, Switzerland, Sweden Norway, Czech Republic, Singapore, United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, Colombia and Thailand
YouTube Premium customers from several European, Asian and South American countries receive emails currently that inform them about the price increase.

The price increase fluctuates widely between affected countries. While the increase is relatively moderate in Thailand -- from $4.43 to $4.99 -- the same cannot be said for Denmark, where the price increases from $16.95 to $19.80 per month.

The price of a Family subscription increases as well. Again, moderately in countries like Malaysia, where it increases from $7.16 to $8.85 and enormously in Switzerland, where it increases from $26.12 to $37.05.

Users from Norway pay almost $5 more per month for a single subscription after the price hike.

Below is the full list, which was first posted to Reddit but with local currencies only.
