Sceenshot showing youtube premium family plan price increased from SGD17.98 to SGD27.98

Cant believe they are increasing the prices this much in one go, gonna be going back to adblockers.

    I guess relatively few people still turn to piracy, it seems like all these streaming platforms are massively increasing their prices knowing that their customers will try to rationalise the extra spending somehow.

      I personally would read this as a sign that more people are turning to ad blocking or straight up leaving. Not enough money coming in so they have to jack prices up way faster than they’d likely do otherwise.

          Yeah but if they double the price and only lose 1/3 of their customers that is a profit. They are aiming for that equilibrium price and honestly more people are willing to pay to never have their entertainment end than we could ever hope for.

      They’ll have to be taught a hard lesson. But realistically family was overly generous with a lot of folks essentially paying 2$/m for premium. You can definitely double this amount without many of them bothering to pirate.
