YouTube is axing its ad-free Premium Lite subscription plan

YouTube’s Premium Lite subscription is going away.

I was happily using this for a year or so now. Feels fairer than using an ad blocker. But now they apparently want more money out of people. Feels like some sort of internet video apocalypse is happening, where the services become extremely fragmented and expensive, like YouTube, netflix, hbo, Hulu, Disney+ and whatnot. Each wants some 10-20€ out of your pocket.

I guess that means back to ad blockers and piracy…

    Nebula does this. I really like the platform except there aren’t comments. Sometimes I like reading the comments on a video

      So does it have access to all the content from YouTube, netflix, hbo, Disney+ etc?

        Oh no sorry. It has creators and users that business model you described afaik. There are some creators on Nebula that are also on YouTube. Nebula is not a program to watch stuff on YouTube

      Same. I like reading comments. Sometimes you’ll find good advice from there.
