The details:YouTube Premium customers from several European, Asian and South American countries receive emails currently that inform them about the price increase.
- The price of a subscription has increased in ten countries so far.

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.
